Perhaps - but Carlos had already played 6 Europa League games for Lille when he joined so he’s already way ahead 4-5 years aheadGood point - Still not a huge risk compared to say signing a young player who has played half a dozen games in France for £23m. Conversely If we keep him and he then gets chopped from the premier league squad, it does leave him unable to play for anyone, which helps neither the club or the player.
