He is an amazing player but not the solution we needed. We have and had other problems. I'm grateful he played/plays for us but its the best scenario for us and him, I'm saying this whole year. 30 mil on our wage budget for one single player are too much, now we can pretend we are RM in terms of wage bill or we can acknowledge we are nowhere near that...
For the Locatelli and De Paul part even with Ronaldo I'm sure we'll find place in the wage structure its not such a big salary...I don't know why you mentioned them.
In those 30m salary budget you could fit 2-3 players like Pogba, Aouar etc... player that can really fix our problems. We didn't had problems with scoring goals, we have with creating.
