I’ve been thinking (yeah I know 😁😁)

I believe when we have rumours put on here we should have a category system. So,

Type 1 : Regarded as top class by those ITK but judged by the same people as someone we could never afford - let’s say Mbappe

Type 2 : Regarded as having been top class but now too old or still too much money or who couldn’t perform in the PL or any combination of the above

Type 3 : Regarded as ‘Never going to be’ or ‘Neverwozzers’ by those ITK.

Type 4 : Regarded as great for the team and great value for money.

Type 4 is very rare, In recent times we have had Robbo, Mo, Salah and Luis, and perhaps Thiago although he keeps blotting his copybook by getting injured. The interesting thing about this type is that they generally start out in Type 3 and move into Type 4 with hindsight.

Anyway. Just a thought.

It is rare because we signed Salah twice. That is value!
