There's no such thing as a 100% guarantee that a player will work out. Sancho is basically as close to a sure-thing as it's possible to get for our right wing.
Crystal Palace were originally asking about 10m more for AWB than what we ended up paying.
I'm not an expert, but to me, if let's say there's a player that is worth 100m and only one team can buy it for 100m, while the rest of the team's can only offer 50m, the player should not be sold for over 50m. Why should a bidder try to bid way more than others? Just go very slightly over them and you get the player, kind of like how eBay works.
| Starts | Mins | |
| James | 33 | 2845 |
| Pereira | 25 | 2241 |
| Mata | 20 | 1816 |
| Lingard | 19 | 1777 |
| Chong + Gomes | 7 | 700 |
| Total | 104 | 9379 |
Yeah, Lingard who is even worse.
Dont forget bruno would be looking at almost half of that id imagine
The key difference is that the sellers on eBay want to sell. Dortmund don't. If all they are going to get is 50m they would much prefer to keep him. We not only have to beat other potential buyers, but we have to make it worthwhile for Dortmund to sell. 50m with two years left on his contract is not worth it.
Still loads of room for sancho and still keeping everyone happy.
Oh my god. I'm not mocking you! I'm laughing at our poor success with the strategy. Feckin hell.
Can't believe he's going to be playing on our RW next season, our attack is going to be immense if we carry our current form into the new seasonspecial player
It is true. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to haggle. Where did I say that? We're still shit at it. World record for a non world class CB. World record for AWB too. Both of these facts are true. We paid less for AWB, and yes we should.still haggle. But that doesn't disprove my point that were rubbish at it.
There are so many things wrong in this post.
He's the best young attacker on the planet, and secondary only behind Messi in terms of goals and assists at 20 years old. He can play both wings to a high level. Right now we need a player like him, it's worth the price. People said AWB and Maguire were "too expensive and not worth the price" but look how much difference they've made to our defence. Scrimping and saving and buying lesser has cost us before.
You forgot to show your Scouse card at the door pal. Get out.
It'll be Greenwood who loses out to begin with, although I suspect it won't be long before he takes his place back. If there's one thing I feel confident in is that super sub Solskjaer knows how to manage everyone's minutes, at least that's what I'll keep telling myself.
Wumming at its finest , surprised you haven’t been banned yet judging on your previous posts .
Why should I be banned for giving my opinion. I am here as a Manchester United fan and I dont have to post things to be please everyone. I give my opinion on the matter,if you disagree with it thats fine, thats the whole point of the debate. My opinion still remains unchanged, 120 million is a lot of money for Sancho. I hope he comes to United because he will definitely improve the team but I just dont see how anyone can pay that sort of money for him,especially in this covid market.
