Surely Fabinho is a lot, lot better even when crap.
Alex Telles | signs for Al Nassr

Telles who has one year left on his contract and is a LB whose parent club don't want him.
Fabinho who is under contract until 2026, whose parent club wasn't looking to sell and is a CM, oh and also hasn't actually been sold yet.
Finally gone, hope we can say the same about Bailly soon too
I think people have a weird obsession with net spend, so they get upset when the sale goes against their maths on those long in/out lists some people write on here.
In terms of FFP it's a 275k profit that goes into the coffers so a good deal.
Of course he is man, that argument doesn't even make sense.
Context doesn’t matter to people who just want to moan
A bit harsh but is he bought partly to make Ronaldo have friends/teammates who speaks his own language?
People mixing apples and oranges en masse.

This is a good deal for United. I was expecting us to just release him to save on wages and let him find a new club. To get a free, which potentially has add-ons? Regardless, its good.
As most have said, if we can do similar with Bailly, Williams, VDB, Fred/McT, Martial,Maguire, Henderson we will be in a good place.
Selling the majority of these players and letting youth make up the numbers, we are better off, especially if we can complete the striker signing and maybe have the sales fund one more

Good business, never good enough.
In truth he was an appalling bit of recruitment and scouting. Whoever came up with that suggestion needs hauling into a room and asked to justify it.
Never remotely suited to the league or club. Slow, no dynamism to get up and down quickly, passive. Pretty poor defender too. He was basically a half decent technician. Unfortunately that's not remotely enough to be a PL full back.

If you can't see the repeated pattern of United selling its players for a pittance. Yet other clubs can sell academy graduates and unwanted, average fringe players for decent fees. You are a gone case. Period. Because you have to be a special kinda dumb to believe this has anything to do with resale value.....
Ronaldo speaks great English, why would he need Telles.
Not sure what your point is? What sane club would want to make Telles one of their highest paid players and give us a fee.
4 million?? Aye carumba.
Well, at least he's off the wage books

Who reported 10m and where did they get that info from?
£4m is decent if it's true that everyone else was offering a free transfer. Still can't shake the feeling that if he played for Chelsea and had been on loan to a side that won the Europa League he'd have gone for £15m.

Wow great fee if true
I remember him celebrating a tackle once, truly cringe worthy.
the same type that bought an edourd Mendy for above 10m
1000% agreed
That was a near perfect moan if I ever saw one.
They sold Ampadu for £7m and his value is much higher IMO.
Mendy was widely regarded as one of the best keepers in the PL a year ago. We should be thankful any Saudi club came in for Telles.
The fact that Telles is sold and some Millions are coming in, is great news, lets get the job done...
4 million????????
And his new yearly wage is 7 million per season.
We are transfer mugs, absoloutely hopeless

Murtough and Fletcher are doing a great job according to some people
Maybe it’s time for us to hire some qualified people instead of people learning on the job but nope, that’s not the Man Utd way.
Good riddance, fair price. Anyone expecting 10m or more needs to give their head a wobble.
that being said when we were interested in buying him I thought we’d have a left wing version of TAA. Turns out he couldnt cross a road unless the traffic lights are red

Agh pet hate alert. Still.Murtough and Fletcher are doing a great job according to some people
explain to me what Fletcher has to do with transfers?
Good player. Didn't fit in a back four though in PL.
People trying to justify 4m for a player who just won the Europa League... and aside from his United time was a regular for teams who regularly played in European competition...
Woopy Doo. Irish teams regularly play in Europe. Does it mean they should be worth millions?
4m is the right price. Unless you want him to remain at United for longer
I've got a few Liverpool mates who have been saying he's finished at top level. Last season he was by far one of their weakest players.
Sure, but still you cant draw comparisons with Telles without the context.
Good to get rid, still a bad price.
He was playing for 2 of the top teams in Europe, mate, Porto, and Sevilla, not Irish teams; use your head.
I agree if that's all United can negotiate, fine, it's not unusual for United, given our history with negotiating exits.
However if we're going by general market value, its low and we should be doing better (this is one of the reasons we have issues with FFP today)
Yeah, Irish teams are always playing in Europe. The Irish national team are in the euro qualifying rounds at least every four years FFS
If you expected United to get £10+ million for a player they signed for £12 million a few years ago who was in the last year of his contract I have to ask who would pay that?
To sell a player for a good fee there has to be a market for them

If £4m is such a steal for him why aren't other teams desperate to buy him? We couldn't even get a loan fee last year.
