Thats not really my point is it?

I dunno. You seem to want more Soldado's and less Dele's despite Dele being a part of one of our best sides in living memory and Soldado.....not.

I don't really care about price tags, how well known they are or where they have played.
I care that we have thoroughly scouted the player and used a system of metrics to judge whether they will be able to perform that way for us in the PL and CL.

We have failed with big names and big price tags. We lost over £100m on Ndombele, Sessegnon and GLC recently lets not forget.
 
Blatant I can afford to have an operation post





:troll:

Just joking Good Luck!!!
I’m not in America mate, so I don’t have to sell my first born to pay for it. 🤣
Luckily in Australia the govt. pays via our taxes. Just have to wait for a while. Fucking old man’s problem. At least I haven’t had to wait so long I needed a catheter 😣

Maybe when I wake up we’ll have signed Eze and a number 6……..oh wait the anaesthetic doesn’t last till Aug 30th
 
He can't force him to chose Spurs and the fact they often pay absurd wages may be fair enough for not matching them as well.
Levy has many faults, but not outbidding a basket case like United is not one of them.
You sure the plan isn't to sell Son and Solomon, give that money to Manchester United for Rashford, and then they use that money to buy M'buemo?
 
Missing out on Mbuemo.

Why is anyone surprised?

Levy never closes the deal on deals that matter.
We were never going to sign him and make him our highest paid player tbf.

All report today suggest United are offering him 250k a week and we were never going to break our wage structure for him. He's a good player but he's not Mbappe or Yamal! 70m and 250k a week is extreme. Worth remembering that he's currently on 45k a week at Brentford! United have just offered him a bizzare 500% increase in wages to get him agree to come. All the other clubs involved would have tried to get him for 120k which was still a substantial rise. I'd imagine Spurs would go as far as 170k a week but United just went extreme so have a clear run at him now.

United have done the same thing to convince players like Sancho, Casimero and De Ligt to come to them. Pay way more than everyone else! Then they end up in that stupid scenario where they can't sell anyone because no other club will match their current wages. Going of recent history, it would not surprise me if Cunha and Mbeumo end up like Sancho and Rashford on big wages but not pulling their weight. Manchester United is the graveyard for ambition.
 
Please tell me this isn’t true.

Tottenham join the race for Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford

I’m having an operation tomorrow, maybe I shouldn’t wake up from the general anaesthetic
Of course it is not true. Firstly, Rashford is on ridiculous money (£325k per week) and his contract still has 3 years to run! Secondly, we just signed Mathys Tel who plays in that position, in addition to Son, Odobert and Moore who are queueing up to get minutes at LWF.
