Okay so you want a well run club, you want standards, you want a United culture re-installed. But your happy for us to sign a player with a release clause just so he can look pretty for two years for him to move on for a third of his worth (Pre Covid). That does not sound like sensible business for a “big club” also probably the reason why City and Liverpool would never looks twice at that deal.Haaland went to Dortmund for €20m Euro, and Woodward pulled the plug because Haaland wanted a release clause inserted to kick in 2022.
Instead we had that last day scramble eventually getting Ighalo.
At worst we could have had Haaland for two years and quadrupled our outlay in two years time. If the team had done well, he might have wanted a new longer term contract.
The Sancho fiasco has been done to death.
If you are not yet grasping what a major balls up that was, then I don't know what else to say.
As for Sancho quite simply put he was too expensive no one else was going to do that deal and next summer no one else is going to do that deal unless they drop their price.
So come into the real world and stop thinking football is FM manager.
