Daz I’m not ignoring it. I know he bought a goalie and then 2 years later when the guy he originally wanted became available, went back for him. Let me explain why that deal doesn’t bother me (again)
- We went back for the keeper we originally wanted. So clear story here. It is not a whimsical purchase. It’s a long term target
- We needed a goalie anyway. The best alternative to this deal would’ve been to either a) risk a season with Hein/Okwonkwo or b) buy a sub keeper now, who would’ve cost us money anyway, probably £10-25m - that we likely would’ve had to book immediately.
- The Raya money doesn’t reflect on our balance sheet until next year, at which point the Ramsdale money would be off.
So those saying he’s wasted money are so far off the mark it’s not funny. Seriously.
