He is not worth what they paid for him
Au contraire, Rodders. A player is worth whatever a club is prepared to give for them. Chelsea wanted 65M rising to 70M. Mewe's first 2 bids were turned down. A 3rd, also labelled final, bid of 55M rising to 60M was accepted. Possibly because there was no other concrete interest in the lad. Moan Ewe got their man at a price they were willing to pay.
Chelsea? They got 55M+ for a lad from their academy which is a decent profit. Look at another midfielder they signed for £30M from Ajax that could have risen to £40M. Ziyech. I forecast at the time he wouldn't be a success in the PL. I was right. They've just sold him, 2 years later, to a Saudi club for €10M (£8.55M). He was also on a £5.2M a year wage. Expensive error.
The good news Is that we get 2.5% of the fee as a sell on bonus from when he was with us
Whoever negotiated that deal needs a rewardQuote:
