Attacking players from the Eredivesie are extremely risky transfers and you know it.

Or, you should by now. For everyone one of those there are ten Jozy Altidores.
Their record with transfers recently is quite good actually:

Memphis Depay - looks good
Graziano Pelle - good
Dusan Tadic - good
Wilfired Bony - good
Jozy Altidore - poor
Siem De Jong - not great
Nacer Chadli - good
Christian Eriksen - good
Bas Dost - good
Jan Vertonghen - good
Dries Mertens - good
Ricky Van Wolfswinkle - poor
Luis Suarez - good
 
The fact we STILL don't have a CM or striker isn't hype or nonsense. It's the harsh reality. That's something you can't dress up, and it's a failing of Levy.

Failing because his not prepared to pay whatever is asked. Failing because a club doesn't want to sell. Failing because the player or agent is making unfair demands, failing because the player may want to play for UTD and is hanging it out... etc.....
There are so many factors in a transfer these days, its not just down to the price of a player or bribing the coach?
The hype and nonsense is the drivel made up to fill the empty spaces. Do you really believe Levy cant be bothered or is not trying his upmost to get this player, be it all within our means. NO player is bigger than the club and if he stays ay WBA, its his loss.

We all condemn the Chaves because of their unfair financial clout, we mustn't follow suit unless we have it, earned it and are good for it.

In hindsight there have been lots of errors????
 
Can people stop saying, "Not worth 30 mil though"?

It's £22 mil. That probably includes add ons, so I wouldn't be surprised if the fee is 18-20 mil + performance related. This isn't 2005, most decent players are now £20mil+



"Not worth 30 million" :walker:
