Is that a decent price or did we overpay?
Based on the numbers he’s put up so far? Massive overpay.
Based on what else we could buy for the same money? Its probably fair. Football finances are broken :p
As ever, if he’s what the system needs, and he adapts to the PL, he could yet be a great deal, but its a gamble. Here’s hoping by 2024/25 he’s a 20-goal-a-season-striker, and I’m eating my words in the first paragraph!
I feel like we overpay any players we’re talked with

Idk, but I know how much we struggled last season without a striker bagging goals
Overpay but considering the United Tax, I think I expected it
Can’t really tell if we overpaid until we see how he performs in the next couple of years. If he’s amazing, it might seem like a bargain.
