I have been reading the last few pages of this thread and looks like the Mourinho fanboys have gone full Mourinho ass licking mode. I cannot believe we are still talking about average players like Perisic and Willian.
Willian has played under three different managers in the PL, he was a squad rotation option under Conte and now again gets rotated under Sarri, his numbers are very very poor for an attacker, especially seeing as he plays with the likes of Hazard. He is extremely inconsistent and while he does look good with space ahead of him, he'd be pretty much useless against packed defence(the kind we face every week) and is crossing isn't all that. While he will look like an upgrade on our current options for the RW position, on the long term he offers nothing and is more of an extremely short fix. Plus Barcelona tried to buy and Chelsea firmly held them off, we probably would have had to pay over 50m for his services. We really should look for different RW options.
And I see that
@haram is still crying about Perisic after 2 years. Apparently Perisic had a very good world cup so he'd pulling up trees here at United. Sound logic when Mourinho himself has said that World Cup is a completely difference proposition to the league and we have a world cup winning midfielder looking bang average already.
Oh and another amazing logic that you cannot hear from anywhere other than here among the Manchester United supporters, since Woodward buys players, he is responsible for the higher transfer fees. It's like Mourinho fanboys are going mad and thinking up newer way to prop their idol up and protect him from criticism. While I agree that Woodward is the reason for the higher wages, he cannot be criticized for the transfer fees. Imagine if we hadn't bought neither Lukaku or Morata, think of how big a fit Mourinho would have thrown to the press. Plus it's not the old times, we cannot twist the arms of the smaller clubs anymore, we need to pay top dollar to get players or have really smart managers who know what kind of player they want and are actually capable of coaching bought players and make them look better instead of the
crap manager we have who went on and on about wanting a experienced CB to a ball playing CB and to actually being okay to sign Yerry fecking Mina, imagine that disaster, signing a player not good enough for Everton.
