Looking for receipts 👀
I can understand you saying Pepe might be a mistake. Including Saliba who is a kid, wasn't that expensive and has yet to feature at the discretion of a manager whose competency must start to be questioned is absurd. You cannot write a kid you've never seen play for us off, when he's 7-8 years younger than what is typically the beginning of the prime of a player in his position when he was rated by everyone except a manager who is struggling.
Spending 30m on a player who wont improve your squad for maybe 3-4 years when your in free fall is terrible business. Especially when your a club that doesnt have huge resources. If your a stable club and your position is more or less guaranteed in your league and CL (bayern,liverpool,dortmund,juventus,psg etc) buying players that will take 3 years to develop is ok.
When you've finished 5th then 8th and looking like you'll finish mid table this season it's a huge waste of resources.
