Also signing him and other unproven players for £30m adds up. We cant just write off several £30m players on the hope that they turn out good. Its far more prudent to spend £50-70m on players we know can do the business. If there was a player like Salah doing what he did at Roma for £50-70m i would say it was worth it.
We didnt sign Mane as a punt, we had confidence and an assuredness that he would start straight away, same with almost all of our signings under Edwards.
Also we are a massive club, not a development club. We have to sign players that help us compete.
You literally want us to sign Olise. A guy who scored 2 goals last season. And 2 goals the season before. He scored 10 this season… and Palace are touting £60m+ for him. So yeah, he’d be a fortune if he goes somewhere else and has two seasons of scoring goals. To sit there and claim we can’t be signing unproven players and have to sign absolute nailed on £70m player whilst simultaneously saying we should buy Olise, who has one good season of goalscoring, doesn’t exactly add up does it.
Obviously if there was a Salah or Mane out there i’d rather we sign them than Summerville. I was 100% behind both those signings because they had two seasons of scoring goals in a top league. If that player was there i’d of course say sign them. But that player isn’t there right now. We also have Diaz at LW so we aren’t going to spend £70m on another one right now so £30m, which really isn’t an insane outlay in the modern market, on someone who has potential is worth it in my opinion.
Also objectively doesn’t make sense to pull the we’re massive club line. Plenty big clubs sign young players and having a good squad does help you compete. We signed our entire 2020 side essentially from mid table sides or worse other than Alisson, Fabinho and Salah.
I’m not advocating we break the bank for him or push hard to sign him, i’m just saying having a quick, goalscoring 22 year old wide man would be a good option if the price is around £30m.

Any ideas how I change it?
Go into settings and search using the magnifying glass, search for keyboard, click on it and check its set to qwerty uk, its probably set tu USA

She's probably not even a bad person. Just very uninformed.I had hoped those millions would have been paying some attention to what the Torys have done over the last few years at least. that's what's so disappointing, the Torys have made everything worse for her and her family, the corruption and sleaze alone should change the way they view them, the Tory propaganda should have insulted her intelligence yet she thinks they are good for the country.
And she is far from alone. There are millions of people like her in the UK.
