OK lets flip it - why did we do the Lamptey deal, but not this one? I don't think you can accuse the Albion on missing out on shrewd deals in the last 2 years
But if the future value is less than potential market value it is a bad deal. If Lamptey has 2 good seasons he is worth more than Ben White. Same as this lad
No I wouldn’t. If Lamptey can solve his fitness issues, then surely he is a £40M-£50M player like White after a couple of seasons ?
Oh and Lamptey had 6 months left on his desk vs 1 season for this lad
Is it ? So all the good work with Ben White, Lamptey, Sanchez, potentially Ostigard is all undone because Chelsea agreed a deal with Southampton rather than us ? But dramatic innnit ?
