Im surprised so many seem to hold Boufal in such high regard, truth is he has rarely given us any end product, yes some fantastic moments , some spectacular goals, but the truth is he only scored 3 times in 70 Premier League appearances, 2 spectacular match winners against Boro and West Brom plus a goal in a 5-2 drubbing at Spurs.
This is just not enough for a fee of £16 million,last pre season he scored in a friendly at Feyenoord and everyone was saying keep him etc, early doors a decent assist at Brighton and a routine pass at Sheffield United for Djenepo to run through suggested that perhaps he might be worth it, but after that he was mainly annonymous in 8 starts and 12 as sub in the Premier League.
Bags of talent but rarely any end product.
£4 million is a big loss, but it is some money and it gets another big chunk of the wage bill.
1 team says its ok to sell him if we replace him, truth is that there is little to replace and his replacement was bought last season in Djenepo |
