Crazy money!

Is he this good? I've never seen him play, but his numbers aren't very impressive for me to justify this amount of money.

I checked a video of last season with his goals, nothing outstanding, but he can play off the last man, pressures people well, and with improved supply he looks like he could do a job. The fee is ridiculous but they are clearly banking on CL football and challenging for the title. Not sure who else is available without a bigger fee (like Kane, who I can't see going to United, and don't really want him either).
