The line can be drawn with certain players. If we're talking about Fernandes I'm not so sure we should be offering huge wages to beat city in the race for him (if there even is a race). He offers more pressing and defensive cpntribution than Pogba, but doesn't have the raw physicality and ability to beat a man or two using his strength (which is usually important in the PL unless you're Hazard). If we were to sell Pogba he could be a feasible cheaper option and work together with other midfield signings that cover the other roles we need. If we are going to keep Pogba, which seems like the most likely scenario this summer, he would probably have to play on the wide right like Mhkitaryan and Mata has done for us. As we don't usually play with a number 10, he might just turn into another player we shoehorn out right. I don't really see the point in buying something that really doesn't fit our system unless we buy the world's best DM and play both Pogba and Fernandes in a 3.
All this being said, he seems like a good player and will probably be decent for anyone who buys him. The question for me is wether or not he fits the system at our club. Sick and tired of buying this or that, but not getting the best out of anyone because they don't fit in. We need to get our shit together, make a system(that works) and stick to it. That's when we'll see results. Hopefully that's what OGS is trying to do, and if he has his eyes set on buying Fernandes I have faith that he thinks he'll fit in. He needs to be given time though, especially since he's working alongside Woodward.
