If Garner cost us 20m out of our already smallish transfer budget and was on similar wages, you might have a point..
We dont have money.. we can really do without wasting significant chunks on more squad fillers and dead weight..
We'll be trying to move him on in 18 months and be stuck with him for 3 season after that.
edit: if this was a loan, I'd be all for it.. but he is in the final year of his contract at Juve and they wont loan him..
He wouldn't be a squad player. He has the technique and ability to play ETHs style of football.
Garner hasn't played 90 minutes in any top European league and you want him to displace Mctominay while looking down on a player that has played ucl football for the past 5 seasons and is a starter for the best national team in the world.
If we don't get Rabiot in about 2 weeks everyone on here is going to be complaining about McFred and a couple of 18 year old midfielders.
The love in for our academy players on here is insane. You would think we're la masia with the expectations people have of our young players when in fact, over the last 10-15 years the only ones that made it here are players we're actively trying to replace cos they aren't good enough!
I remember the thread here on Dybala, everyone on here was saying we don't want him on a free, fast forward 1 month we're linked with Arnautovic , people need to wake up to the fact that we can no longer fight for the best players on the market we need to gradually improve and give ETH the best players we possibly can every summer, even if it means a Rabiot or Dybala for 2-3 seasons then so be it.
