4. He’s a *bleep*-ing world-beater

It’s one thing to lose a player that you liked, and could have been something, but it just didn’t work out and they clearly weren’t good enough for the club. Jeff Reine-Adelaide, for instance. I really liked him and I wish we could have made it work, but he just wasn’t good enough.

For Serge Gnabry, he’s a verified world-beater. He’s one of the most talented wingers out there and he’s the whole package. He’s fast, he’s strong, he’s innovative, creative, assisting, scoring, defending. He is everything you could ever want a winger to be.

He has not yet had a season with less than 10 goals (I feel nauseated). At Werder Bremen he managed ten goals and an assist. At Hoffenheim, 10 and five. At Bayern in year one, ten and six. Then, this year, he’s got 17 and 10! Like, half of which are against Tottenham too. So how about that?

This is the kind of player that changes things. He’s only 24-years-old and among the best in the world. And we sold him for £5m.

AHHHHH! On to No. 3.
