Why would there be uproar when the player clearly fits how we play, both now and under Brendan, and brings exactly what our attack is missing? Pace, power, aggression and goals.
We looked at him 2 seasons ago before he went to Saints but somebody at the Club pulled the plug on the deal, the player himself confirmed this earlier this year.
We get it mate, you don't rate him/think he's too expensive etc etc but don't try justifying our excitement as hypocrisy because he's arrived under Jürgen.
If I'm not mistaken you were firmly behind the benteke signing and used to quote me and pick at everything I said that was 'negative' in that thread too.
My thoughts on mane - decent enough player although very inconsistent but he will fit in here far more than the likes of benteke or Carroll ever did, but for 34m we are well and truly getting raped as usual and it's my opinion we aren't getting value for our money and it could be spent better elsewhere.
That's all I'll say on the matter, can't be arsed with another summer of me bickering with posters over signings I'm not best pleased with. I just think we are the laughing stock of the transfer market.
Anyway, welcome mane and good luck mate. Hope you hit the ground running.
