Doesnt seem like they value him that highly to me considering what young promising talent are going for nowadays. Chambers to Arsenal was what ? 16mill ?
Right back is a problem position for us and signing a player for the reserves isn't going to fix that.
Oh and welcome to the club.
Chelsea and City didn't rate Sturridge.
There are numerous example of transfer bargains that turn into quality players.
Basically the member on this board will only be happy if we spend big and preferably on marquee signings. City supporter wannabes.
Your Sturridge comparison doesnt hold. Prior to signing for us, Sturridge had made over 100 appearances in the premier league. The season before the one we signed him, he scored 11 goals in 28 league starts mostly playing down the flank. Many people might not have liked him but the quality was there for all to see.
I couldnt care less if its a marquee signing or not but if we are going out to try and solve the RB problem then bringing in a 20 year old who has played a whopping 6 appearances over the past 3 seasons doesnt quite fill me with confidence that he'll come in and be anything more than a reserve player in his 1st season.
