Yeah I came to the conclusion that we’re actually skint atm. If it were FFP, we could’ve just take the penalty and move on. Even City are still very much in the league despite their blatant cheating. Or we could just buy Amrabat first and worry about player sales later. I can’t understand why we NEED to sell before we can pull the trigger. Unless there’s another angle I’m not seeing?
Coffers empty for real.
Or the Glazers being tight fisted, after all they maybe thought they'd sold or it was (is ?) their last summer. Don't want to add more debt or reduce their last dividends.
Realistically United is still the 3rd biggest net spender, 6th gross spender (as of today) worldwide for transfers... At one point if we preach financial sustainability and a better run club, someone has to say "ok that's enough money used this year".
Maybe if United had shaved 10-15m over the fees of the three recruitments, bought a 30m€ GK instead of a 50m€ one or sold better we could have added a secondary signing.
