I think there were doubts from some quarters. I also think Danjuma was incredibly cheap with very little risk, which fell into our lap with next to no groundwork required to get him in. When you add in the clubs opinion Roma were over valuing him, it's very obvious why Levy went that way instead.Given Zaniolo was a) clearly attainable at a price we could reasonably afford, b) very eager to move, and c) allegedly someone Conte really likes, either Levy or the club (other directors, Paratici scouts, etc) must have had serious doubts about him. That the player has ended up moving to Turkey as opposed to any other even mid tier clubs in the major football leagues suggests other top clubs felt the same.
No doubt he could go on and prove all those teams wrong but it feels like it may have been a very risky deal for us at a time where we really can’t afford to make many more mistakes.
