I wouldn’t get too hung up on debating whether one player was a good buy or not - you need a squad, not an individual in football.
ive seen Joselu, smash volleys into the top corner. The lad is probably the best finisher in our squad. Not his fault he isnt good enough for what Rafa needed. Every player has their strengths, same as any employee in any job.

The De Jong lad was a flop here because we didnt have the tactics to play to his strengths, he went on to smash goals in elsewhere.
The Jon Dahl Tomasson lad was the same.
The argie lad we had on loan, again thrived in other teams.

Maybe its an indication that the club were dumb in buying a player that was a bad fit for their style
