Mostly sales from academy products who have barely any first team minutes. You're acting as if the money they've pumped into the academy over the years hasnt had an impact. They are getting a massive cash injection for players they wouldn't even use during the course of the season.
while we have Mount
The constant need to shit on the Mount signing is tiresome.while we have Mount
This is the player I have watched and envisage as an integral part of our midfield and one which dominated £100m Declan Rice yet some aren’t convinced!
United are shopping at the Europa League level. That is the reality.
But I thought we could do things other teams could only dream of?!
Kane too. We just never had the budget to start off with
no idea, maybe not
Its an imperfect storm of deadwood with no value and huge wages, too many holes to fill in the squad, a rumoured sale and FFP.
Yeah there always seems to be something with us. Can be quite frustrating.
We should (hopefully) be through most of that by the next transfer window, is the one small consolation.
Yeah all in one transfer window was impossible. plus sale and constraints of ffp was always going to be an obstacle
Never a truer word spoken. And it’s mad - it’s not that we didn’t have the money to spend - it’s that we spent it on the wrong players - Sancho, Antony, Casemiro, Mount cumulatively cost €250million - regardless of opinions or views, none represent good value or clear planning. It’s really irritating.
We could have definitely signed one of Enzo, Rice or Caicedo if we had wanted. We chose not to and went for other players instead. We paid close to £65m for Casemiro and over £80m for Antony, Antony fee by itself would have probably been enough to sign Enzo/Caicedo/Rice last season.
Aside from Akanji who looks good, i wouldn't want any of them. And that's only because of the system of play his team plays.
Akanji also got a lot of stick here before he joined City. We were linked with him and many claimed he wasn't good enough.
We desperately needed a top level CM and the failure to sign one is embarrasing. We should never have wasted the money on Casemiro, who will need replacing by end of season, and Antony is a joke. Why we didnt look at a player like Maddison to replace Eriksen is beyond me
We have no football management structure, no coherent football style and just allow managers to sign who they want.
Editor of Tuttomercatoweb and not really.
You'd think but there's always something. Bruno will get arrested for money laundering or some shit.
I don’t disagree - I’m just saying the value compared to what we have/are paying for players is unreal when the quality really is not much different.

There was literally 60m sat on the table for two players deemed unwanted by the manager

Maguire wanted to be compensated so it ate a lot into the 30m fee. And mct is clearly still rated by Ten Hag as a squad player. It's clear he wants mct plus another ideally.There was literally 60m sat on the table for two players deemed unwanted by the manager
Why the hell did we buy Mount? We have so many more important positions to address. I do not understand this transfer at all, especially as it’s clearly impacted our budget.
That too
Problem with that is one of them refused to leave when we accepted a single bid for him, so even if we did accept the double bid, one of them didn’t get refused to go!There was literally 60m sat on the table for two players deemed unwanted by the manager
Would be next one's.
Mount was a key transfer for Ten Hags plan and was targeted accordingly, like it or lump it.
