Yeah. Xkaha needed a few seasons. Odegaard needed almost one year. Partey also needed time. Rice has been great but still need to work on a few things as our 6.
So let’s not give Havertz time. Having played for a shit Chelsea team for 3 years as a striker, he should obviously come here and be an amazing midfielder./s
I really don’t know how much time he needs. Maybe he becomes a quality player for us eventually. But there are plenty of players who have moved to a new team and hit the ground running. And for £65m, you certainly hope someone to hit the ground running.
I agree, for that fee you’d expect a player to play well. But some don’t. And playing midfield for us is not some easy task. We know a few struggled.
You don’t expect a player like Timber who came from Ajax for that fee to start performing right away, but he did.
Grealish went for 100m and didn’t perform immediately.
Grealish isn’t really a good example because he is still not doing anything exceptional to justify that price tag.
My point isn’t about justifying the price tag. It’s about the fact the price tag doesn’t dictate how well you play. We as fans expect players to play very good if the fee was high, but it doesn’t work like that. The players doesn’t decide how much they go for. Grealish did well last season, but it doesn’t justify the price tag.
We as fans have to learn to separate the price tag from the player.
Your comment makes no sense. That is literally how it works. The only reason to pay more for a player as compared to another is because you think that player will play better than the other option. Otherwise there is literally no reason to pay more if everyone is as good or bad as the other regardless of price tag.
