We have Saka and ESR, Auba if he can be bothered. These are players that could have played 20 years ago and not been laughed off the pitch. The rest of them? It's a joke. A very expensive piss take.
Rare I agree with you 100% but I do here.
Partey is hopeless. I mean, not in a “how is he making it in the professional game?” way, but £45m? For that?! Wasn’t he touted as the new Vieira? He’s not fit to lace Vieira’s boots.
There are some decent players around, you’ve mentioned a few, but 90% of them are very very ordinary. You’ve got very average players these days being sold for tens of millions and earning six figures a week. It’s mental.
