Tbh he looked really good in the games I saw before he ruptured his ACL and never recovered.
Dodging a Bullet thread

Manchester United are being heavily linked with a move for Lille winger Nicolas Pepe, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ponders whether to bolster his forward line. The Sunday Times have reported that United have moved for the 24-year-old after holding interest for some time with Pepe's club valuing him at around £70m.21. jul. 2019
Alexis Sanch... oh wait.
Nico Gaitan, Ezequiel Garay, Sean Longstaff, Gareth Bale (cca 2018).

What a throwback! Does Nicolas Gaitan count?
I think we dodged a bullet massively with Alvaro Morata, I remember there was a debate between who is the better striker between him and Romelu Lukaku and if Chelsea or us got the better deal, because Morata would fit our style better. I know Lukaku isn't well liked by the fanbase but there is no doubt he was a much more better signing in terms of his goals output for his transfer value.Ronaldinho.
We went on to sign Cristiano later...

Dyabala. Lucky he didn't want to move here.
Or maybe we'd have signed both, gotten Dinho's Ballon d'Or-worthy years, sold him to Real for a world record fee in 2006 and kept Ronaldo for even longer?
Don't get me wrong, I know what you are conveying...but Ronaldinho was mint 03-06.
Zakaria Bakalli
Saúl Ñíguez, Rúben Neves, Eduardo Camavinga.
We had an agreement to sign Cristiano in 2004 or 2005 with sporting. We had to rush the signing as there were teams moving in for him that year. We signed Ronaldo for 12m pounds.
Ronaldinho was signed for 30million euros. I highly doubt we would have had any more money to sign Cristiano if we had signed Ronaldinho.
He was no doubt. But we would have missed out on Cristiano.
Moises Caceido. Left Brighton on loan now.

Oh wait...

Remember the summer of fawning over Partey?

Actually I still think he would be good for us, just can’t stay fit currently and is in a rubbish team.
If Mourinho had his way we'd have threads for Danny Rose and Eric Dier, praying the club were able to offload them this summer.
Good player. Don't know where he will fit but definitely not a dodged bullet.
My answer is definitely Griezmann. The entire fan base was dying for him to come here and he cost an ridiculous amount for a very niche player that was rubbish for Barca. Would have killed all hope I think.
A player who can't stay fit is useless.
I thought he was going to be so brilliant and wanted to sign him.
How do you know Griezmann remembers that?
I'm getting in early with Declan Rice.
Quaresma.
I think we'll be in for him next summer

The way you’ve worded this makes it sound like you & Griezmann were reminiscing about the Aurier links over a pint last weekend
in recent years , JM wanted Willan, Boateng & Perisic, thank God the club vetoed it.
Rivaldo in 99.
I remember some news about United offering a lot of money + Giggs to Barcelona, Rivaldo alone wasn't worth a huge bid from 00's onwards with his constant injury struggles and his level, but if you compare his club career after 99' to Giggs... it would've been a huge blunder.

Rivaldo to United was NEVER on the cards let alone a money plus Giggs exchange!!
Fergie was willing to let Scholes go to Inter in 2000 though to fund a move for Barcelona's Figo.
Griezmann would have been class here IMO. He was just never a fit for a side that plays through Messi. A bit of a diva but his quality is unquestionable.
I actually think the Zlatan injury and Atletico transfer ban that seen us focus on Lukaku was the beginning of the end for Jose.
Also think Perisic mentions are ridiculous. If anything our fanbase hilariously underrated him. Would have been a better option than Martial, especially in a Mourinho side. Willian otoh was definitely a bullet dodged.

Words right out of my mouth..!!
How much did that one phone call change history...?
Alan Shearer was f#@&*n dearer ... so we got Ole the treble and hopefully the start of more trophies soon.
Koulibaly for me, never understood the hype for him. Anyway seems the hype has died and with it Napoli's astronomical valuation.
