        Yea, pretty obvious at this point that they base all their transfers on agents, media hype, and manager requests.

        Simple as. Guys like Antony, Matic, Mihki are clear manager buys. Sancho, Pogba, etc. were media hype transfers.

        Very few look like a part of a well-scouted, coherent, long-term plan.

        Its a lot like what was happening at Arsenal during the dark days of Raul Sanllehi tbh, except this has been going on for 10+ years at ManU.

          Sancho and Pogba were brilliant players at Dortmund and Juve (and Pogba was class for a while at United too). Dismissing them as media hype players is incredibly ignorant

      They’re already saying it, because they spent boatloads on a player they already have and he’s sitting on the bench. Idk who it is, or if this many people are collectively clueless, but Ronaldo at least made sense on a sentimental note, Mount wasn’t needed whatsoever and it makes no sense to have him.

      Mount is a fantastic player, you could see his quality even in his short time here. It’s just the wrong fit. We already have Bruno, buying him just makes no sense.

        I thought Mount was going to be a Bruno back-up until I saw the pricetag, ain’t no way that amount of money was gonna be spent on a backup unless he starts…
