He stated: &#8220;I\u2019ve never seen Kobbie play bad. Every time I watch him play football, I think, &#8216;How can somebody not play this young man?&#8217; I just think he\u2019s a fabulous football player. Academy-grown, didn\u2019t cost a club a pound, and when you think about some of the fees that these players are going for. Obviously, they signed Santos and Tielemans for \u00a385 million combined. Baleba was probably \u00a370m. What would Kobbie be worth? It\u2019s worth more than them all. No disrespect to any of them, but I just love his game.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Hargreaves did not hold back in his assessment of Mainoo.
