That wage seems off. He was very good in BL but that's a top star wage, not a very good young player coming through.
200 sounds more normal/right.

This is the same metrics for Bissouma the year before at Brighton:
How the fuck Hojbjerg and Bentancur got picked ahead of him for nearly a year is fucking astounding.
Yeah and with Hummels aging surely they aren't going to let schlotterbeck go
It’s ridiculous. De Gea the only player earning more.
So, sell Hojberg, keep that version of Bissouma that we get next season and rotate him with Amrabat
I mean christ, paying a keeper anywhere near that is insane too. If they've genuinely got Sancho and De Gea on a combined near 800k a week then that club is even more badly run than I thought.
Let's be fair, almost everyone rated Sancho pre United move. Ze Germans raved about him. But throwing nearly 400k a week at someone of his age for being electric in the Bundesliga is beyond craziness.
I feel like it MUST be media bullshit/exaggeration.
He’s Hojbjerg at best. He’s more Skipp because he plays no risk passes and never got his body in the right position to get turned and open up. Wasting money on him would sum us up. Bissouma is miles better

100%. Not for me
A lot of admiring eyes from the Bundesliga and have been since he arrived. Definitely would be dragged into a bidding war. Bidding would start at £20 million
Would not be surprised to see a couple of North Africans as well as Japanese end up signing. Markets Ange knows inside out, we were heavily linked with a number of Moroccans as well as signing numerous Japanese players
Ed Woodward was already approaching the exit door when the Sancho deal went down, not sure how much of it can be put at his feet, but he was very, very bad.
I'm not against signing a #6 but it needs to be someone that's good on the ball as well as being a solid DM..... i.e. Carrick-stylee.
Otherwise, we might was well make do between Biss & Skipp (even though I'd rather play Biss box-2-box)
Hatate has more to give because he’s more explosive. Cal Mac is a very good player but if he came to England he wouldn’t stand out. He does make Celtic tick though. Excuse the pun
I think Biss was at his best for Brighton as a 6. Could be wrong though.
The new guy seems maybe even more of a clown..... Remember he got caught on cam having pints with some 2-bob youtube fan-channel?
Woodward had serious doesn't have a clue about football vibes. Seemed to do a good job getting United's revenue up but that was it.
Basically Levy if he was happy to spunk money around for fun.
In today's market £20 million would be a snip. I'd be absolutely pissed if it was anything less
Wouldn't be surprised to see Ange go for Jota also. If he's looking at Celtic players it will be Kyogo, Hatate or Jota
