While it might have been risky back then, it is even riskier today. Today we definitely are not as sovereign financially, as we were. Back then we could have pulled a big transfer ourselves as well, if it were necessary because something did not work out as expected.
we are talking about one of the greatest of his generation vs. a good midfielder but nothing more.
we already own asamoah and pogba. with 30+ millions we should be more than capable of improving our team despite loosing marchisio.
