Completely agree. United always seem incredibly naive when it comes to the transfer market.He isn't. DoF should be someone who is well connected with huge network, should be in position to take good advantage of contract clauses.The signings we have made are very straight forward ones or known players.
We should be proactive to take advantage of free transfers, talking to players when their contract has 1 year to expire so that we can get them on cheap or free transfer, should be well connected with agents to know the 'secret clauses'.
They decide they want a player yet seem to come in at the point in time that player is at his most valuable and with a secure long term contract so they get absolutely fleeced on price.
They seem to have been lining Sancho up for a long time with no genuine alternative yet he's got 3 years on his contract it seems unlikely he will agitate for a move. They have zero bargaining power other than pay whatever crazy fee Dortmund want.
