Thats what I meant. He needs to make them regret not letting him move while on top. A lesser season and Dortmund's losses from matchday revenue. United matchday is only 25% of our revenue. I believe Dortmund is higher. 75Million deal for him and Grealish each and we're back baby. Probably have to sell Pogba though to get funds
Sancho and Grealish in exchange for selling Pogba and next summers transfer budget is an amazing deal! Though we'd still need a DCM and very fast CB (eg Upamacano) at some point too (Or hope Tuanzebe can graduate into that role). we also want Haaland at some point too.
Obviously we cant fund all of that, even spread out over 2 summers so there is a difficult job of prioritisation determined by what purchases further improve the entire team. In buying VdB, I think its now Sancho or Grealish, and certainly not both.
Despite being one of the true Sancho muppets last summer, I'm now glad and credit Woodward greatly for holding his nerve under insane fan pressure to spend that obscene amount of fee and wages. We've seen in cavani how a true no9 can truly invigorate us, whilst having Rashford Martial and Greenwood for inverted forward roles. And we have Pellistri and Diallo developing quickly.
So I think we truly need a no9 (Haaland), Grealish who offers a different option to the inverted forwards and I'm hoping Tuanzebe can make his breakthrough this year, so that also leave budget for a new DCM.
We have the next 5 months to determine which is best for our needs but Sancho may have missed his chance
