I though this was a misuse of funds and not a good deal at first, but you make a very good point. Now I feel calmer and more optimistic, thank you!

Thank you Scott. Glad we are getting backup for Saka. He shouldn’t be expected to play 90 min week in week out

Hey lads, hope I catch you in time, a couple of questions:

1. How do you build pricing models for players? Is it thumb in air or something more complicated?

2. My suspicion is big physical strikers mature later. How does Gyokeres compare to Giroud, Drogba and Costa at the same age (25 & 26 seasons)?

I'm trying to think of it as simply as "would I normally be pleased to sign a top-4 team's best winger for 50m?" and for me that's an easy yes.

Wow Scott, as long as it took me to read this, I realize that it took even that much longer to generate. Brilliant work. As for the player, he always struck me as one of the stand out players for Chelsea. I was stunned when they agreed to release him to Arsenal. Great business at a decent price. Berta is earning his keep.
