Don’t remember him being a key player for Lille in a title winning campaign being targeted for years for big fees? Might be wrong though. Don’t think anyone suggested Botman was elite either, as I said, wouldn’t be going to Newcastle if so.
Don’t think you could!
Won various titles for PSG, there are probably hundred of examples of players who have played at the top in France and looked like jokers when they got to the premier league; Falcao, Bakayoko are two who looked unwordly over there and pathetic here.
You’re right about Doherty though, he was proper shit.
