That's the issue here though, he's not 'bang average', he is actually a decent player who will probably be happy to be a squad option but who will give his all every time he plays.
But I know fans want shiny new toys to be world class every time, just a shame for them the footballing world doesn't work that way.
I disagree on his ability I think even at his very best form for West Ham he wouldn’t get near a top 4 club that’s why he went to China. 13 goals last season then about 13 combined for the 3 years prior he’s shite.
We don’t need a squad player, that suggests our starting 11 is strong enough which it isn’t.
Elanga ain’t good enough.
Rashford is completely off it now for 18 months.
Ronaldo wants out.
Martial was for sale a few months ago and has come back from a failed loan with Sevilla. Huge question marks over his fitness also.
Sancho is talented but we haven’t seen the best of him for 70m+
Your just adding more mediocre talent to a pool of mediocre players. I haven’t even commented on his attitude either he’s supposed to be a right muppet.
Every top 6 club this window has added a top quality attacker. It’s not about getting a shiny new toy it’s about getting players to improve our starting 11.
