It’s happens sometimes when you spend big on older players. People like to think that top players all stay at peak level deep into their 30s but many do tail off fast.

You guys are a money-no-object club, you can absolutely afford to take the gambles and pocket the wins. United are having to budget carefully for FFP and they’ve blown a fortune on transfer fee/wages here!

I assume there is a /s here lol.

We signed Silva on a free...and we also stay within FFP by selling/loaning players.

Wages still count for FFP. He’s not playing for free.

Our wage bill is smaller than City's, Arsenal's, and United's...

What part of that doesn’t mean giving a huge contract to an aging player is a risk? You seem to be arguing that it’s not a risk because he was signed on a free transfer.
