Save the right wing money and buy a solid DM and CF. Team will look more complete with such signings.
Amad and Pellistri should be given a chance as backup next season.
Back-up to whom though?
Today’s the day.I said all along that Dortmund were overplaying their hand and would come to regret it.
Today’s the day.
Greenwood isn't good enough to be our consistent RW. Maybe as a CF. But as a wider player we need someone with more pace.Greenwood of course.
Or you know just spend it on another right winger seeing as we don't have one, haven't had one for years and the team is desperately missing a creative outlet on the right.
How people can watch this team regularly and not see the gaping hole of creativity down the right side of the attack is baffling to me.
Back-up to whom though?
In the absence of signing sancho, i would love us to get someone a bit older anx more mature who could be rotated with greenwood
He costs about 8 pounds now
I get that everyone is saying it was too much money and hos form right now shows it.
But a Sancho who wants to play, at a club he wants to be at could have made the difference in games this season.
The difference between champions league and europa, the difference between 26 points if we win our game in hand or 30 points and first place.
The money isn't so much in those situations.
So? We are talking about this season:He’s injured.
He plays in a league that made Kagawa and Mkhi look like the 2nd comings of Kaka his numbers were good but they can be deceiving coming from the Bundesliga. Havertz and Werner seem to be struggling as well and even Sane/KDB needed a bit of time before they started playing well consistently. Factor in he rarely starts ahead of Rashford and Sterling for England and his relatively poor record in big games and one can understand why no club would pay over 100m for him.I get that everyone is saying it was too much money and hos form right now shows it.

Wolves are struggling to get any kind of consistency out of Traore. He looks like he can deliver so much but then fails to too often. So much potential but no application. He just can’t seem to be effective unless he starts on the bench and comes on as an impact sub.Surely Wolves would consider 40m for Traore?
Watching Dortmund again yesterday, Sancho was average again, but would still take him for the right money.
Let’s hope Diallo plays well.
The 16 year old lad up front for Dortmund yesterday looks quality for his age. Skip Haaland (Raiola) and go for him?

Sancho without the necessary defensive reinforcements would have landed us right where we are. You cant accuse United of failing to create and score chances but with a soft centre it just means that we need to score more goals to win matches or even avoid defeat.I get that everyone is saying it was too much money and hos form right now shows it.

So? We are talking about this season:
Sancho in BL: 0 goals in 11 games
Haaland in BL: 10 goals in 8 games
Ok, so there are few exceptions. I guess Sancho is nothing special then, just one of squad players who is helpless to impact the game when team is in poor form.It doesn’t change the fact that the other whole players were poor not just Sancho alone. Everyone were poor except Reyna & Haaland.

There's a reason Traore can't get in the starting 11 regularly. He's average at best. The most overrated player in the PL.Surely Wolves would consider 40m for Traore?

Maybe he has learned from past mistakes or he just got lucky. Either way I hope he would not let Zorc and Dortmund hear the end of it, if we're still interested in Sancho. Tell them "we offered you X last transfer window but it's changed now, your player has regressed so he should be cheaper" over and over again. Annoy the feck out of them. I hope they finish 5th.Masterstroke in negotiation from The Wood.
I find it staggering that quite a few on here seem to be suggesting that a player’s (presumably temporary) dip in form will adversely affect his transfer value.
I think Dortmund will be getting less than 100 million for him next season but I’m pretty sure that his current blip in form wouldn’t be why. The fact remains that Sancho is a world class talent and we will be on a different level with him in our squad.

Doesn't really need to be at Mbappe level to impact game more than he did this season in BL.He’s a young talented teenager not Mbappe level.
I had less issue with us not paying the 100m than i did with us dragging it out all summer and failing at the last minute.
He's not worth 100m on the pitch and never was, but i still want him here. He's got fantastic ability and the marketing potential of having Rashford and Sancho together is worth 10 or 20 million on its own.

Lingard would agree with you too.Irrelevant. World class level players like Muller had 0 goals in his first 12 BL games last season.
strange statement at the end.
Rashford is the Face of Man Utd, and everyone knows who he is. he’s a marketing dream.
I bet the vast majority of non football fans couldn’t pick Sancho out of a line up. they won’t even know who he is.
quite a few football fans wouldn’t know what he looks like either.
He wouldn’t bring any marketing benefits to the club - that’s not a slight on him, but I do not see the link at all.
Nobody knows Sancho because he's 3 years younger than Rashford and plays in Germany. The pair are going to be the front line of the England team for the next 10-15 years, people will know him soon enough.
Which is why Sancho has to join a prem team, ideally united, if he wants to boost his profile, etc.Nobody knows Sancho because he's 3 years younger than Rashford and plays in Germany.
