One of the strangest signings I've ever seen
Uniteds transfer department must be full of clowns
Friendly reminder that Mason Mount cost only 4x as much as Julian Alvarez.
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
ETH is our transfer department lol
If I recall correctly, he refused to work with Ralf and wants to do the signings by himself.
That is correct. And look how well it's worked out for us!
