He was very very good in his 1st 2 seasons
However he is a million times an improvement on what we have now
I didn't think Iwobi was anywhere near worth £35m either but again he'd walk into our current side
despite being spared the burden of having to pick James and his lack of pressing.
And I seem to recall you saying you didn't rate Richarlison anyway and that we did well to get our money back on him.
The real issue was the gaping hole in centre midfield. Koeman wasted a load of money, Silva/Brands couldn't get the man they wanted and got Gbamin who ended up being a dud, and Ancelotti tried to address it with Allan who got crocked.
for £12m you'd expect a bit more than 10th with a squad containing Digne, Richarlison, Iwobi, Sigurdsson, James,
The salaries of those 5 players and Ancelotti alone will have been £1m/week
Richarlison and Iwobi have been replaced by McNeil and Harrison yet Dyche is getting shit for it
then couldn't buy anyone at all that window - and once any combination of Allan, Doucoure and Rodriguez got crippled that was that really.
He'd still have pissed off when Madrid came calling though either way I expect.
