I like AWB but to suggest paying essentially £50m for a 21 year old RB is good business seems a bit extreme. I would expect to get an international and played Champions League football for that price.
Kyle Walker cost £50m just 2 seasons ago who was the best RB in the league, prime age and at a club fighting for the top 4
Sorry, but AWB was easily in the top 4 or 5 performing Fullbacks in the league, arguably the 3rd best behind Liverpools duo.
£50M in today's market for an extremely talented kid who could in reality offer us 10 years of service is a bargain!
FFS, Liverpool just spent £75m on VVD and they'll be lucky to get another 3 tops seasons from him.
The surprise is the defence mounted by the Keefys and Johan, mainly using the tactic of there could be worse owners or the so called lynch mob doesn't understand financials.
What's surprising?
I'm far from a financial genius but you've idiots posting propaganda rubbish and they've no idea what it means. They just completely run with the story and take it as gospel rather than bothering their arse doing some research and learning something new for themselves.
Would you like an example?
The story going around about the Glazer sibling taking out a second loan. It's a complete nothing story and it gathered traction on twitter under the glazer out trend. There was such pearls of wisdom from idiots tagging in BBC and demanding a panorama episode on their ownership and why they can take out personal loans like this.
If they knew what they were talking about they'd realize it doesn't affect the club. If her loan defaulted she'd lose shares... basically it's in their interest that the loan defaults cause she could possibly lose some control in the club, unlikely but even still its not the draining of resources from the club the glazer out sor thinks it is.
