They got him for 18m pounds apparently,not sure how they keep getting these discounted steal of deals on the most hyped prospects around Europe

They are looking for prospects on good prices. If you have a reputation of building up young players in a decent league with CL football, they will come to you. Pretty simple if you ask me

Dortmund know the market, have good contacts, have a system in place, are stable and a good proposition for talents. They are well run and a perfect stepping stone

Don't forget Raiola s fees - rumoured to be 12-15 m euros

Below is a excerpt from the above article and the reason I have absolved the scouts of blame for our recruitment post SAF. I've also believed Woodward has been very naive in giving too much power to the managers and below is a reason why. I also get the impression that Maguire was also vetoed by the likes of Bout and Lawlor along with Boateng whilst Mourinho was manager. So it's worrying that Woodward would then revert to type under Ole. Let's hope we've learned from our mistakes.


James Robson: "To illustrate how dysfunctional the club’s recruitment strategy was at that time, scouts would warn Woodward against signing Van Gaal’s targets because they weren’t" ‘United players.’



But the executive vice chairman felt obliged to trust his manager’s judgement – something he was heavily-criticised for not doing when vetoing Jose Mourinho’s attempts to sign Maguire and Jerome Boateng in the summer of 2018.

Robson also says that Ole wants 2 midfielders, right sided attacker and a striker.

Well this is awkard now

 

[GhastlyHun]

Didn't some british journalists insist he'd be coming to United even after he was seen in Dortmund recently?

Haaland had a release clause

 

[Godfather]

Not really. That article was bullshit from the get go. Said so the moment it was published. Like we were getting a talent like him. What pull do we have?

 

[Godfather]

They even claimed he wanted reassurance Ole was staying as a manager The British press really is the worst. Completely clueless but not ashamed to post any bullshit just for the views.

I'd say Italian press is far worse.

But they have Di Marzio

[ShinjiNinja26]

Di Marzio was terrible last summer, although was pretty decent previously.

 

[SAFMUTD]

Rojo is an OK player I'd have him as 4th CB and sell Jones. Have a feeling smalling will be joining Roma on a permanent deal in the summer as he's done quite well for them so far.

Hardly a reliable one, he is injured most of the time and will only get worse as years go by, if we manage someone stupid enough to take him from us we should sell him right awsy.

I nuch rather have promising youngsters that can push the starters rather than deadwood that just cashing the paychecks.

We can't make light of transfer news now? Apologies if not

 

[Jericholyte2]

Sky reporting he has another release clause in his Dortmund contract, they’re saying we refused to put this in which is where talks broke down.

If that’s true then I say fair enough, see how he does in the next few years, then hit that release button.

Priority should be centre mid > centre back > left back > striker for January.

We absolutely do not need to waste money on a centre back.

Somehow this makes me feel the need to sign a Keane type player more than anything. The opposition should be terrified of going near him

As he should.

We are desperate for goals.

 

[ManRed]

Your priorities are all messed up. We have 2 good left backs and loads of CB. IF martial or Rashford gets injured, we have no cover and will have to play Lingard.

 

[Nep77]

We need a CM and Forward who can give us option be it on a wing or upfront. Lingard should not be even making the bench.

How stupid has Ole looked now? He should have dismissed any links when he knew that Haaland wasn't going to join United.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

He was just being respectful I'd imagine, to the player, to the interested clubs etc. Nothing in it.

Football has changed. They will just pass the ball around him and be done with it. And if you kick them, you will be carded and dismissed.

The article in question didn't say we were getting Haaland.

In what way?

Spin

 

[Amarsdd]

Spin

?? its pretty evident given what Raiola did with De Ligt.

 

[Jericholyte2]

Spin

Given that De Ligt has a similar clause at Juventus to be activated in a few years I’d be inclined to believe it.

 

[Un4givableB]

Given that De Ligt has a similar clause at Juventus to be activated in a few years I’d be inclined to believe it.

The Spin is we wouldn't sign him because of the clause, if De Ligt or Haaland wanted to come here, they would be here, regardless of the clause.

 

[Jericholyte2]

The Spin is we wouldn't sign him because of the clause, if De Ligt or Haaland wanted to come here, they would be here, regardless of the clause.

Why would we ever sign a player when we’d have no control over when they would leave? The De Ligt one I feel less so about cause it’s rumoured to be €150m but I cannot imagine Haaland’s being too big.

Imagine two seasons of him hypothetically being lethal, club X comes in with less than his market value and we’d have no choice over the matter.

I’d completely agree with them pulling out over this.

 

[cyberman]

The Spin is we wouldn't sign him because of the clause, if De Ligt or Haaland wanted to come here, they would be here, regardless of the clause.

If they wanted to come there wouldnt be a clause?

 

[mariachi-19]

Because there will be other fees attached to it that are hidden. More than likely, they lose a hell of a lot further down the track if he turns into a super star because he wont hang around down there. I'd say RB have a % sell on fee.

 

[MDFC Manager]

The Spin is we wouldn't sign him because of the clause, if De Ligt or Haaland wanted to come here, they would be here, regardless of the clause.

Absolutely no chance we'd agree to clauses. If that's a deal breaker, it's a deal breaker.

That is the facts. An agent negotiates the terms on a players behalf, not against the players wishes from my understanding. That's why I keep questioning why fans think we will have any credible chance at landing Sancho. He'll have a pick of Europe's best clubs, the same way Dembele and Mbappe did. Haaland had a slightly lower pick of the bunch (if rumours are to be believed) and we couldn't get it over the line.

If Solskjaer is in the job until summer we will see why the importance of managerial pull still accounts for much when the club's circumstances are detestable. We actively tried for De Ligt, Dybala, Haaland and I'm sure the list will continue as time prolongs itself. It's more of a reality check for us then anything else. The only other platform for success is coaching players into a position of development such as seen with Klopp, but we don't have the coaching staff to turn the likes of a Mane / Salah into the world's best from being decent level performers.

Dybala didnt want to be here, Haaland didnt want to be here - De Ligt we fecked up on our own
