Haven't we bought the most expensive defender in the world and most expensive midfielder in the world under them?
it kind of shows how little they know about the sport? Pogbas obviously been very good in patches but was never ever going to be leader in his early to mid 20s. Massively distracted and poor in patches.Has looked to be on the way out of the club for 4 of his 5 summers here. Flagship signing. Never built a team around him. I do sympathise with the player to an extent though. How was he going to win with Matic lingard and pereira starting beside him. I doubt thats what the club pitched him before he signed. They will most likely make him the highest paid player in the league to stay. I think that’s going to be another huge expensive mistake.
Maguire looks like finally trusting the scouts even if it is scouting by numbers. Let’s not buy him and send the coach you just signed up to a huge long new deal off into a meltdown and then pay 25% more for him a year later on top of paying off the highest paid coach in the country to leave. Who’s the best English centre back in the league. Oh it’s still that guy but he’s a lot more expensive now. Best get it done anyway. At least he’s the kind of player Fergie would have signed and hopefully a signal that we are returning to the approach that made us successful in the first place.
Sanchez: I called it before he signed. Absolute disaster all round.
Di Maria: did anybody even talk to him before he signed?
lukaku: not the right fit. Worse than useless after he fell out with Pogba. Since been replaced with a loan and a free transfer
Making DDG the highest paid keeper in the world.
giving Woodward with no background or contacts in the game so much power. Not moving him aside at any stage.
letting the stadium fall into disrepair
letting the youth system fall behind on their watch. fair enough they’ve since addressed this.
letting Haaland and Upamecano slip through their fingers when they were in the building and going for peanuts. We are just very weak when it comes to recruitment and way too smug about it too.
the stupid contacts we keep handing out
the dof lie after every poor window preparing to make bids.
Briefing the press that Bruno loses the ball too much for a top team and then going back 6 months later cap in hand and paying more. They tried their best to not get that deal done. They killed the sancho deal and left us without a right winger for yet another season but they may get him a bit cheaper a year later because of a pandemic. they got a bit of luck there and with Bruno and now the narrative is they know what they are at... madness.
They are absolute spoofers and by far the biggest problem at the club is that they get final say on everything.
