You follow the NFL, I think it's a bit like a first round pick who is a bust. There's always that second team who think they can unlock what they had in college, but redemption stories are rare. Once we paid THAT much for him, there's always going to be teams who think they can find the player Jeff thought he was getting.Maybe this is bias but I would have taken like £4 Million for Silva plus a whole heap of add ons, regardless of their likelihood.
I don't understand what interested teams are seeing. I get 21 is still relatively young for most top flight players, but he has shown less than Rafa Mir even had, at least he had a couple of okay looking spells here and there, in amongst the rest of it.
Adama is a footballing comparison, the next manager is always the one who thinks he can make him look up or have off the ball awareness. That manager still hasn't appeared.
