The parallels between Mateus Fernandes and Mbuemo deal from last season tho.

Didn’t we end up paying Brentford more for Mbeumo? Bournemouth wanted 65 for Semenyo, we thought we’d get Mbeumo cheaper, spent months on it, Spurs showed up and we just gave Brentford the 70

1) Widely reported we are first choise 2) Both priority for the starting XI 3) Months of negotiation for a lower fee
