so good players start at £50 mill now?
Kante is the exception not the rule
Mane was by no means Klopps 1st choice and admittedly he has done well so far, but how about the other players we brought and have brought in past 10 seasons? much more miss than hit, and usually ones people can tell will not work out in advance aswell.
everyone can point out one signing that turned out well, but how about the hundreds that flopped before? do they not get a mention.
My whole point on this player is that the cost based on his very limited exposure in a top (ish) league is well above what I would consider reasonable, we have over spent and been stung on multiple occasions as well.
He is clearly someone who has not been under the pressure that comes with playing for a big team like us before and not someone who we should be shelling out a major part of our transfer on.
Look, transfer costs are fu**ed up in today's market. I'll admit that. When you have players like Ibe going for 15 Million, you have Real Madrid paying 45 Mil for a kid who is just 16. If you try to look at the market with that view, 50 million is nothing. We got Mane for 30 million when he was inconsistent for most his time at Southampton. And here we have a consistent player who just helped RB Leipzeg secure their first ever Champions League campaign. See prices are inflated, whether you want to accept it or not.
Another example - Pogba went for 90 million pounds.
As for Kante being exception? I guess you need to watch a bit more football. Remember we had a certain Javier Mashcerano, who was ......a West Ham player, and couldn't get a f**king game there
. If you try to find examples like Kante, I'm pretty sure if we dig deep enough, the numbers will be quite a few. So no, he is no exception.
Good players will always be good, regardless of who they are playing for.
I do think Klopp knows what he is doing here.
