I fully agree, our record of late has been awesome - this goes to show stats can be misleading.Exactly!!
Since Arteta came in the Hit factor on signings we have paid decent cash for has been very good
Out of the 1st 4 'flops' 2 were favours to Kia from EDU & 1 one was a punt on a cheap goalie influenced by the keeper coach.
Willian was disappointing but it can happen.
Only 1 is still involved & currently linked to a move away.
As said Look at the ones we have paid decent money for. How much is Ode worth now?
Nuno will be sold for more than we paid & i reckon Sambi will go for a similar amount to the outlay.
How you can call a young brazillian kid who wasnt bought for the 1st team a flop in a few months is frankly beyond me?
Man chats sh!t.
It would be interesting if all the top premier teams had this same review over the same period of time. I am sure man city would come out seemingly smelling of roses, despite Phillips and grealish by themselves accounting for a greater loss on value than we have endured.
Overall our player values will have risen of late, a stark change to our abject failure in the transfer market before edu and arteta teamed up.
