So, I don't know, I just look at this, and...
It seems weird to me that you're figuring things out mid-season.
And if Arsenal win in a few hours and you're eight points back...
I would look back, if I were the owner, I know you're thinking about other things, 115 charges if that ever happens or whatever, and I would say, man, we kind of screwed this up this season.
He just turned 26 years old.
He was born in Chelsea, funnily enough.
He has one of those guys with three passports.
Plays for Ghana.
Obviously also, I think his mom has a French passport.
So he has one too.
And he has a UK passport, obviously.
Is it kind of odd?
Is he another one that we put him in the bucket of players where despite the fact that he grew up right here in London, which is a hotbed, maybe not like Paris, but it's a hotbed of football.
And he slightly fell through the cracks that at 26, he can be a 65 million pound player.
Whereas two years ago, he was kind of like just another Rando.
It's like Eze, right?
Like we have, there's a whole, are these the shortcomings of a system and not just one club, right?
Because he's in London, which means every scout at every London club and surroundings would have seen him at some point.
I take your point and I think you're right.
And obviously people bloom later and so on.
