Well, they know how it goes. Sometimes you buy a product that looks tempting, promising high quality and longevity, only to find out that it’s an entirely overpriced piece of junk. It’s sometimes the same with soccer players.
It is not easy to buy a quality player for good money. Even the best managers sometimes disappoint. They sign a footballer who rocks like a god, but by the time he moves to a new club, he is just a shadow of his former self.
