AKA "anti-Chelsea" loophole patching.
I don't think it is a symptom of under-investment, but rather symptomatic of holding onto key players too long as a PTSD of being a club that previously had its best players (Keane, Berba, Carrick, Modric, Bale etc) plucked from them, and a lack of academy from the Poch days.
It amazes me how Liverpool and Chelsea seem to buy some 18-19 year olds for £5m, never play them, and somehow get lower table sides to pay £30m each for them
don't know why you think he'd score tbh. He is the master of flattering to deceive .
we played united 3 times before the final and he didnt score, in fact the only time united managed to put some goals past us was the one time he didnt start in the league cup!
united can keep him
I do get the principle of having someone who can play all 3 positions , struggling with the play all 3 positions badly bit
The basic insight that investing in stadia and training grounds and the like benefits the game as a whole and ought to be encouraged makes good sense.
There's some of that too. We need to be more eager to sell for the right price.
It's incredibly frustrating.
In fairness he said "they" would've...
Sure he would've
Amorim would have thought he would have a chance of redemption this summer, but that team ain't getting fixed anytime soon
Desperation will set in and they'll sell Antony, Garnacho, Rashford and Højlund for laughable prices...which I'm all for. We should offer £25m for Mainoo even though I'm not sure of his level or what he actually does best
2019 Liverpool: "We'd like £19m for our young Solanke, who has scored 1 goal for us in 27 games"
2019 Bournemouth: "OK"
2025 Spurs: "We'd like our money back on our young Veliz, who has scored 2 goals for us in 10 games
every club: "No"
HOW COULD YOU KNOW THIS?!?!
I do wonder why no one is really putting much attention on this.
They were a 1 point-per-game team under Amorim, and he's obviously starting the season with them, and as much as people have been obsessing over Mbuembo, they still have an awful defence, calamity keeper, and lack an effective set of forwards
United know the player better than we do, and the fact that as a homegrown who has just turned 21 he's been thrown on the deadwood pile with reports of his bad attitude, it's worrying.
But I agree, he totally jumps off the screen every time I watch them, he's the opposite of the invisible nothingness of so many of their high-priced players, a guy who grabs the game by the scruff of the neck.
This is the Man United that sold:
- McTominay, who was basically Napoli's star player in his first season
- Elanga, who went on to be pretty good at Forest and is now a £55m newcastle signing (£40m profit in 2 seasons)
- Periera, who is arguable worth a good £25m+ now
- Alvaro Carreras for less than £5m to benfica last summer, who has just gone to Real Madrid for around ten times that
They will have sold some duds, but it's not like Man Utd are a stranger to binning off players that are good enough and do better elsewhere
Hey , United sold them for less with the hope of getting 10% from their sell on clause....

Don't forget the Chavs paid them five mill so they didn't have to sign Sancho too.
