All jokes aside, bringing Ox and Shaq on regularly and them finishing the game (rather than going off injured) might just make a side take a punt at on one of them. Wages are a big part of our expenditure and if the wages of those two players were going on something more useful to us going forward (paying Kabak if we like him enough to take him on full-time, acquiring Konsa/Bissouma/Raphinha/whoever) then it might just pay off.
I'd love Ox to reach the level he was showing in 2018 but that's a Hell of a long time ago in footballing terms and he has a fair amount to compete with in the pecking order.
