Risk? Undoubtedly. Although if you could get the player he was a year ago for that price that would be great business
Transfers are always a bit of a risk. Take your current squad. I was sure that Havertz would flop. And Partey would shine. Whereas looks like the reverse.

Same is true at pretty much every club.
At the beginning of the season I genuinely thought Havertz might come good as it was a fresh club/challenge and new surroundings for him. However after seeing how he performed over the first half of season I was one of many who thought he was absolute cr4p and he needed to be dropped and we'd wasted £62m. However something clicked and he started to put in half decent performances and you could see him getting his confidence back. Then he went on a decent run of games and was undroppable, it got to a stage where he was the first name I looked for on the team sheet (beside the obvious ones) and wanted him playing every game and when Arteta did bench him I was fuming and claimed he didn't know what he was doing. I think he's now made his position his own and is one of Arteta's better buys. Football fans are a fickle lot, who think they know best

Fickle?
I love it when football fans berate the Chairman for being cheap, for only spending £50 million of their own money on some player. Saying if that's the best they can do, they should get out of "their" club.
Then, in the next breath, saying the club is fleecing them as fans when they are asked to pay an extra £50 a year on their season ticket

Under 14s typically play 35 minutes each way, That's going at a goal every 95 seconds, given that the ball hast to returned to the centre circle, then possession won back. WTF
Bayern Munich have appointed Burnley boss Vincent Kompany as their new head coach on a three-year deal.
The 38-year-old replaces Thomas Tuchel after he departed at the end of the season, with Bayern agreeing a compensation fee of around £10.2m with Burnley to appoint Kompany.
The Belgian's arrival comes despite him enduring a tough season at Turf Moor after the Clarets were relegated from the Premier League for an immediate return to the Championship.
But the ex-Manchester City captain has a knowledge of the Bundesliga having played at Hamburg, and is a fluent German speaker.
Bayern have brought in Kompany after a series of rejections in their search for Tuchel's successor with Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso, Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann and Austria coach Ralf Rangnick all turning down the job.
Here's my take on the Kompany appointment and it's effects on other teams, Pochetinno will be offered the Man Utd job but he will only take the job if Man Utd sign Kane from Bayern Munich, Kane will leave BM to link up with his former boss and break Shearers PL goal record over the next two seasons. I wonder what odds I can get on all that happening... Probably 2/1 on Sky Bet

Wow, when was the last time a failed premier league manager, who had just relegated his last team, get given a top job.
Oh, that's right, Gareth Southgate. Relegated Middlesboro then later gets the England job.
I'm assuming that Bayern Munich are preparing for some lean years coz England under Southgate have more chance of success than Bayern have with Kompany.

Don't know about Uefa Conference League Final
Vanarama Conference more like. Feckin abysmal.
Hopefully the CL final will be full of goals and drama. Cannot see it being 0-0 in any universe
