Everything we do is a gamble. It's about picking the right gamble. We have a player who scored the most goals for us since the 1950s. Paying that player an extra 2 to 3 million a year is a far smaller gamble than buying a player for that amount of money.
Let's put it this way. Would you rather the club bought a payero a season for the next three years than give akpom a large contract?
I dont disagree with any of that.
However I'm trying to point out that there's been plenty of one season wonders, and therefore keeping him is not a magical guaranteed 20 goals a season, especially when in other seasons (in the much weaker Greek leagues) he's barely got into double figures.
