You’re again making things up, and seemingly refusing to read what I wrote. I repeat - well respected journalists have literally said that Ten Hag became interested in Mount having seen him at Vitesse and also tried to sign him at Ajax. Those journalists were not Rozay from the caf. Rozay from the caf simply read those reports and expressed his views on them.
I’m not trying to make anything fit anything. Only those in denial will refuse to acknowledge a pattern with our ‘transfer strategy’.
I'm really not, you just aren't understanding what I'm saying.
Let me put it in qoutes.
"I do not care where a coach first develops an interest in a player as long as there is a good reason to sign them. Whether Ten Hag first saw Mount in Holland, Spain or Timbuktu he has proven himself a top player over the last few years. Which I'm going to give Ten Hag enough credit to say that he took note of before signing him."
Casemiro - Raving Success
Martinez - Raving Success
Malacia - Absolutely fine as a backup who cost basically nothing and is young.
Eriksen - Not for me but I reckon he was more brought due to being one of the best midfielders in the Prem in the last 10 years, being on a free and just having had a great run at Brentford. Rather than playing for Ajax a decade ago.
Antony - Would agree with you if he is your point of contention. Still has work to do. A lot of promise and important goals mind.
Mount - I believe he is a very good player and fits what we need perfectly. We will see.
I'm just really struggling to see the problem. The Antony thing is the only one I'd question whether he just really loved him cause he was at Ajax but I think a lot of the gripes are that we overpaid which is down to the board trying to negotiate then giving in and paying more than the original price. Nothing to do with Ten Hag.
If you're hoping we will be like Brighton and find players for 500k who turn into brilliant prem players it'll never really happen as we are Man Utd. We are being quoted 70 million for the striker from Atalanta after he scored 9 goals in the Serie A (He never played in Holland you'll be pleased to know). If we weren't interested and West Ham went in for him they would probably get him for 25. It's unfortunate but again not Ten Hags fault.
