That’s what happens under poor leadership and failing to qualify for the champions league on a regular basis. United will eventually be in for these high priced deals again but far too much damage has been done by the glazers and previous recruitment. The rebuild will take time.

PSG are proper fuming
The amusing irony of PSG talking about rational financial management and squad balance. Doesnt seem like that long ago they bought Neymar for how much
PSG are proper fuming
This is the same club that bought Neymar and still hold the record for most expensive transfer ever at €222 million almost ten years later. Beggars belief.
Yeah but I'm highlighting the people saying this is mental and crazy by Madrid and "100m for this bum!?" is a lot of stones and glass houses type stuff.... but worse, 'Cause Diomande now is better than Antony ever was, never mind where he'll be in a few years.
Yeah, imagine telling an Arsenal fan a few years ago they would be able to spend 100 million on a player and now be credibly in for Vinicius.
PSG are proper fuming
Their 'principles'. Goodness.
The rebuild has already taken too much time.
Doesn't look good enough to be starting for Real Madrid right now. Interesting to see how he does. Their fans certainly aren't known for their patience
Agree, only have to look at sales already made or likely/possible from likes of chelsea, spurs, real...if youre spending £150m and possibly selling £100m...spent less than us.
I do however disagree our squad is so thin...we have given big wages to players never justified them over a prolonged period and now cant sell them....but
Vitek, Amass, dalot, martinez, collyer, gore, zirkzee, amad...there are players of reasonable to pretty high value....thats £150-200m on top of mount, rashford sales
Not saying we should sell all, wont go into who i would and wouldnt as probably agsinst grain, but devils advocate...
Vitek wants move, we have three gk
Amass last year contract we have cover lb in leon and dorgu even if no signing
Dalot cheaper options can replace his sale
Martinez...contract, if hes injured isnt an option and what about faith in our other options
Collyer/gore wont play
Zirkzee people want to go, now worried about sesko injury...cunha and mbuemo cover, zirkzee barely played last year with same situation
Amad we have mbuemo and lacey
Rashford we are giving a pathway...why? Why not hardball of dont move dont play anywhere
Mount we seem to want to keep, he isnt a starter when fit anyway in our best eleven
There are reaspns to sell each and not enough faith for me on the likes of dorgu, lacey, heaven and yoro or other youngsters not yet featured.
But we CAN raise funds to pretty much fund a diomande, viniscus type signing...outside cm and rb for me...our squads not as paper thin as made out to me...we are just too loyal to some players too long i feel
He's not taking it well, going after Romano now
Looks like Plettenberg is right, Alex Crook and Fabrizio Romano are in the mud. Nothing been agreed yet.

PSG making that statement officially dropping out kind of spells it out no?
The thing is, we spent €100m euros on a winger 4 years ago - he just wasn't very good. We're part of the reason the market is fecked.
Thanks for keeping him away from scouse grasp, now can we negotiate a deal for Tchouameni or CamavingaCool, i like him and have wanted us to sign him all summer
Now sign Rodri
Eyes on the prize Flo. Eyes on the fecking prize
They still need to agree a fee so Plettenberg was right.
Crook and Romano have said its done which is wrong, the clubs havent agreed anything yet
Will flop
Chelsea also tried to sign barcola but bid rejected when nobody knows. Barcola not interested in chelsea sporting project. Our owners are really onto something no onto everything in the market.Yet they've slapped a €170m price tag on Barcola
Time to make a cheeky bid for Endrick
I haven't watched him much but seems crazy to pay over €100m for a 19 year old winger from Leipzig with one good season under his belt. Especially since he moved last summer for €20 million
What about Guler? Mastantuono?
Heck, I'd even take back Alvaro Carreras.
Brilliant business by Leipzig. Cash in when his value is the highest, not sure if he even is Real Madrid quality. Very young and time will only tell, but for this price you have to sell.
They’re not the biggest club in the world, so they don’t have every possible advantage.
He is still raw. But his qualities are of a high enough standard that I think he'll do very well and influence matches to Real's advantage regularly. Not a chance he'll flop, even if he doesn't sort of the wrinkles and reach the absolute pinnacle.
Interesting to see how he fits into Jose's approach at Real.
PSG are proper fuming
That statement looks completely made up.
No chance of Guler. Personally he'd be my long term choice to replace Bruno. Such a technically good player and great football intelligence.
It's Real Madrid (and Papa Perez). Anything is possible.
Don't think he'll flop. Its still potential and an unfinished player there, he is a Diomande in the rough.
Agreed. Good player but Real is a horrible environment IMO. Look at what's happened to similar talents in Endrick and Mastantuono for example.
Not even the best winger at Leipzig. I wonder how much they'll ask for for Nusa.
Looks mid thirties already.
Didn’t they realise Rashford was available at a fraction of the cost??
Or Royston Drenthe at Madrid. Remember him? 29 appearances for feyenoord first team only before signing for Madrid. Lasted about a season before his career plunged off a cliff.

100m?! Christ almighty, he's so average
But for every Drenthe, there's always Vini, Rodrygo and Valverde that worked out spectacularly after being picked up as basically youth players. and in the Brazilian's case, for big money.
That hairline is receding harder than the 2008 USA housing market.
He looked mid at the world cup.
Very true.
Absolutely crooked transfer.
