Renan Augusto Lodi

[Any Time Now]

Lodi was great, was one of our most consistent performers especially towards the end of the season. That being said the time to sign him was when we had the option for £17m, we tried angling for £13m and the rest is history

Some may say or imply we should just have paid the fee in the option. However you can't really blame the club for trying to get the player for less, at least initially.

Certainly with the FFP situation we do need to be careful what we spend. Olo Aina isn't as good a LB as Lodi, but he is a capable PL option, and cost us nothing.

I don't blame us for low balling, but he was one of our few consistent performers and it was a very fair price. I just don't think it makes much sense to go back in for him now when the price will likely be similar to what we weren't interested in paying back then, and all he has to show for it is a season in Saudi where he's looked well off it

Lodi is one of my favourite players from the last couple of seasons, absolute no brainer if he was available for a reasonable fee.
