Maybe some interesting context for Minteh.
Semenyo (who pretty much everyone wanted last Jan).
Up until the age of 22 (same age as Minteh now). Had scored 25 goals which almost exclusively League 1 and below.
He only had 11 prem apps to his name at this point with a grand total of 1 goal.
Not everyone is a world beater by the age of 22 and I'd trust Iraola to develop someone with the raw materials.
Fully appreciate him being injured is less than ideal, but if the analysis says he's the player (and he suits what AI needs tactically), perhaps it's more a case of 60mil whilst injured, 80mil + when fit in Jan?
Fully expecting everyone to thrash this post ?

No thrashing, I agree.

We could just spend £86m on Rayan in January.

I love a good thrashing!
More tea vicar?

Is that a fixed price for Rayan in Jan, Shipley?
