yes i can’t deny that football history is littered with tons of eredivisie flops. but if we’re saying there’s no chance that a signing from the eredivise will work out, then i’d just point to the likes of suarez, eriksen, de jong, bony, kudus, de ligt, janmaat, propper, van persie or gakpo who...

if we want to replace groß’s output, it’s going to be 35/40 million. simple as. none of this nonsense about moder or hinshelwood replacing him. we’re going to need to get back roughly 15 goal contributions a season. and that’s before you even consider the leadership and experience he provides
