to make up my own analogy, comparing matteo & willo is like comparing neville & shearer. both in football careers & punditry.

Certainly I commend Mattteo for the effort he expends in providing us with detailed stats about players from foreign climes.He is a polymath of players from abroad.

A rhetorician so inebriated by the wearying exuberance of his own verbosity surely ought well to apprehend that monomath is the mot juste.

Young is one thing. A 21 year old center forward, in the position most exposed, is another. Club can buy young right back, left back, wingers. But notvcebter forward.

And I don't mean an old one should come. But one between 23 and 28 years old, who actualy is a prolific goalscorer, is a necessity.

Maja is expensive now because he has just recently signed with Bordeaux, ha s alot of years left on his contract and is annew teen sensation with 6 goals in Ligue 1. His value will go down the closer he gets to the end of his contract and especially as he doesn't keep being the "new next Mbappe at 21 years old". By 23 he should have a more grounded price.

Ha Ha. Or indeed the last embers of an octogenarian firefly carrying some heavy shopping.

However you and Signor Matteo broker your information (Google, The British Library, the Ka of John Mccririck) you do it so we don't have to.

So it's a thank you from me.
