Good price for a good and versatile squadplayer
I don't understand the reactions here. It's embarrassing. We need to have 10-20m rated players on our bench, who can actually step in and play without us taking a significant step back, if we ever want to compete with the big teams of Europe. Squads like Madrid, Barca, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, have benches full of 20-30m rated players. Most, if not all, of the starting XI in our team are 20+m rated players (aside from older players who even if they perform as 30m players can no longer command that on the transfer market), we should be happy to have a young, versatile, and talented player like Pereyra here at 15-17m. That's how we will perform better in Europe, first and foremost.
Last year are starting XI were exhausted in European matches, because Conte did not really trust his bench players, and did not rotate nearly enough. Our European performance should improve quite a bit, just by having a better bench with players like Pereyra, Morata, Evra, able to replace starters without a significant dip in quality, and also allowing more versatility in squad formation.
Hopefully next year, we will have 30m to spend on a top player or two, with all the new sponsorship deals, and a potentially increased revenue stream.
