If Sancho was/is hesitated to join Manchester fecking united, then good riddance.
I agree. I think the Sancho ship has sailed with them two coming in.I think the idea now is to get that by utilising Cavani as a stop-gap forward option whilst the likes of Pellestri and Diallo adapt to English life/football. I'd be surprised, personally, if we go hell-for-leather for another RW in January/next summer after shelling nearly £50m on those two lads, whether they're 'young prospects' or not.
I remember when Wumminator said a few months ago, that we'd be challenging for top 3.
He also said that LVG should not be sacked, when it was plainly obvious that his brand of football was the most boring in Europe and we were being cut open by teams, as soon as they got possession of the ball.
Wumminator, please give us some more predictions.
What?If Sancho was/is hesitated to join Manchester fecking united, then good riddance.
football doesn’t appear to have been suspendedDortmund not selling Sancho is turning out to be a stupid decision for them.
1) Germany is in lockdown again which means no football and which no spectators for Dortmund, they already quite a bit of loss for the previous season
2) Sancho is looking half the player he was next season plus one year less on his contract.
I could see us signing him in for around 70-80m euros.
Obvious and easy, he should not be thinking twice to join Manchester united. We want committed players that believe they can lift the club even higher.What?
But where's this come from? By all accounts he wanted to join over the summer?Obvious and easy, he should not be thinking twice to join Manchester united. We want committed players that believe they can lift the club even higher.
It was reported he was not in a hurry to join, that he is happy to stay one more year in BVB to see how united develop and he would be also open to offers from other clubs not only united. I would love to see a player with his ability play in united, but I dont want players coming here just for the money or are hesitant to join the club.But where's this come from? By all accounts he wanted to join over the summer?
I know they'll need time (although Sancho isn't the finished article, he might not adapt to the Prem and according to reports he was better in 18-19 than 19-20, and has been poor this season so far), the point is we shouldn't be spending £120m on someone else's discovery, we should be trying to make our own discoveries.I'm not sure about that. Pellestri is gone into the youth squad and seemingly needs a bit of time there to develop, while Diallo isn't playing for the senior team at Atalanta.
I know players don't really break through in Italy til they are a bit older generally but I don't know if either will be ready to come into the first team this season or even next season.
We still need a proper first team RW. We could still be in for him if (and its a big IF) the price is right.
The Cavani signing was good. People are complaining that if we really wanted him then we wouldn't have waited that long but I don't see anything wrong with that. It's a one year deal and is clearly a stop-gap till we bring someone else in next summer.Yeah. The media were desperate for us to spunk 120 million in the covid climate as it would have generated headlines for Months.
Still would love him at United but that price tag comes with a LOT of ready made problems. Petrelli and Traore have been allowed to go under the radar and are extremely exciting looking players anyway, this was a proper Ferguson esque summer Even the Cavani signing was the sort of thing Ferguson literally did in 1998 with Sheringham and you should have seen the moaning back then about that signing a year before he won us the treble.
I don't know what criteria they are using for saying he was better in 18/19 than 19/20 but he had more goals and more assists in less minutes in 19/20 than he did the year before.I know they'll need time (although Sancho isn't the finished article, he might not adapt to the Prem and according to reports he was better in 18-19 than 19-20, and has been poor this season so far), the point is we shouldn't be spending £120m on someone else's discovery, we should be trying to make our own discoveries.
Not at all. He is probably quoting The Sun.football doesn’t appear to have been suspended
Sorry I meant no spectators in stadium which will be a huge blow to Dortmund - income wise.football doesn’t appear to have been suspended
is this for real? He's writing for The Athletic?This has the makings of another classic Wumminator column on The Athletic, a job he was headhunted for with no writing experience, but with a stellar internet forum posting history behind him.
