Oh, I understand the deal... if it was an outright sale, or loan with obligation to buy. But to give them a 2 year trial with the player to decide if he is worth spending the money on? That's ridiculous. He's one of the hottest young prospects in European football.
And to make matters worse, we're not doing anything about our biggest need. People keep saying that Bayern and Real wouldn't sell Gotze or Isco, but money talks. Neither of them are essential players in those teams. We offer 50+ mil for Gotze and he would have been ours. 60+ mil for Isco and he probably would have been ours.
I'm never going to believe another word out of Marotta's mouth. It's been boldfaced lies all summer long.

Zach trying to justify the Coman deal.
The guy who told everyone for the longest time how incredible Coman was going to be, how Coman was a future superstar, how he was the first to lavish praise on Coman on this forum...
Now, Coman hasn't shown anything.
