We won’t pay the salary, no chance of signing him if United are in for him. They’d pay double what we’d offer.

Don’t forget that we only pay Solanke £90k a week. No way Levy spends £60m on a player plus 200k a week on top.

It comes down to money 99 times out of a 100. Football players are money orientated. In fact humans are money orientated. If someone offers you double,50% more,25% more wages a week you aren’t turning it down. We are not on the same planet as Utd,Woolwich,pool,city and Chelsea wages wise so any player that they want and we want they will not choose us. Until that changes we will always be what we are and never win a league title.

If we'd have offered (eg) Haaland an extra couple of million per year; he'd have still gone to (eg) Man C.

You gotta be in the mix for so-called "elite" players (other than mercinaries - eg Ndombele) to take you seriously; even if you're offering comparative wages.

United signing Cunha and Mbuemo.

Remind me, who won the Europa League final and got CL football?

Not being funny but that sounds like a bottom half team buying bottom half players.

Are we really at the stage where we think buying a player that's been mostly anonymous at Brentford for 6 seasons and a winger that doesn't get into the top four teams is now something to aspire to?

They’re good players particularly Cunha. Much better than anything we have in attacking areas.
