It's about now not overall. Why are you trying so hard to move the goal post to suit your argument? Simple, the player is touted for 80m this summer and the point is simple, it's such a high cost fees & big risk for a 29 years old centre back who is performing poor this season.So when evaluating players as a neutral, you'd discount the experience of a player (call him player A) who for the 3 years prior was involved with title races in Serie A, consistent CL appearances, and was universally lauded as a top player at his position versus a player B who in the 3 years prior was poor enough to be loaned out from one championship club to another championship club during a promotion push, got relegated with the parent club upon being promoted, then played for a 9th place side. Given all of that context, having seen one season subsequently where the latter player did better whilst playing in a settled system under one manager, you'd be comfortable saying that player B is better?
Utter madness.
By applying your logic may be Chelsea should spend 80m on Chiellini now due to his performance for the 5 years.
