Yes Moyes was a fan of Fabregas and Kroos more, so we pursued them instead.
Wish SAF had just signed him and not cared what new incoming manager thought.
I don't even know how a manager of his experience could have rejected a player of his talent. Moyes - what a piece!!!
Seriously, it irks me everytime I see it. Instead he got us Fellaini.
It's being/been reported by very reputable journos in England and Daniel Taylor is one of those journos..
It’s true. Thiago could have been ours but Moyes only wanted Fabregas who led us up the garden path.
fecking Moyes.
Your scouts can only do so much if the manager is given precedence when it comes to recruitment. At any other big club, Thiago would've likely been signed by the head of the football department due to to the scouting reports.
Banfield announced that they didn't get any money for James Rodriguez's transfer to Everton even though they were due a fee. This means that James moved to Everton for free.
Just boot us in the bollocks as well why don’t you
That really was a phenomenal signing for Everton. Hard to see any other contenders for signing of the season
It's impressive that Everton managed to sign someone of his stature, sure, but signing of the season? That reminds to seen. He may not even work out for them.
Sarr clearly has a lot to improve on but there is a player there.
There was a similar meltdown on here when we were linked to Mane when he was at Southampton. Just because he’s at Watford doesn’t make him a bad player. Liverpool bought Wijnaldum and Robertson from relegated clubs - I’d bet folk on here would have lost their minds had Utd done that.
Some are so entrenched in the Sancho deal they can’t see anything else. Is he as good as Sancho? Clearly not, but I get looking at him as an alternative and potentially strengthening in other places as well.

How? He moved from Madrid? Do they get a sell on everytime he moves?
TVI, which is a Portuguese broadcaster, confirmed United's interest in left-back Alex Telles. Porto lowered the demand to € 20m.
and yet I still don't believe a word.
Telles would be a good buy.
Oddly the transfer tweet alerts aren't appearing anymore.

Probably for the best
Articles 20 and 21 of FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players:
James Rodriguez was under the age of 23 when he was with Banfield and transferred to Porto whilst under contract with them. As a result, Real Madrid are required to pay a percentage of a fee from Everton to Banfield as they contributed a reasonable amount of training and education to him.

Wasnt he at Monaco before Madrid?Articles 20 and 21 of FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players:

Fair enough i suppose
So then you lose a brilliant player for less money than he's worth, and in fact lost money on the deal due to wages etc
It's pointless and short term thinking, which isn't what we need at all. It's a typical Jose buy, short term with no regards of what's best for the team.
Article 21 sets it so that the training clubs always get a portion of the fee whenever the player is transferred before their contract's expiry regardless of which club they transfer from.
EDIT: The mechanism

Why do the media only talk about United’s “what if” moments? Are we the only club who ever missed out on a player?
I mean it’s not like they missed out on a high profile signing to a premier league rival recently or anything
I feel as though I’m probably being really thick not knowing what the punchline is. Go on...
Everything boils down to talking about United get you more clicks, a lot more than any other club.
West Brom sign Conor Gallagher on loan from Chelsea.
Because we can do things in the market that others can only dream about...
True, we brief the media like no other club.

Is that not only while players are under 23. It doesn’t go on for ever.
Article 21 does. I've already mentioned Eden Hazard, but Pedro was another example; when he was transferred to Chelsea, Barcelona paid San Isidro 320k Pounds out of Chelsea's transfer fee.
Note: this only works when the training club(s) is (are) in a different football association to the buying club. For example, if we sold Greenwood to, say, Man. City next season, and Man. City then sold him to Burnley when he's 30, we wouldn't be due any solidarity contribution. If, however, City sold Greenwood to, say, Juventus at the age of 30, we'd be due this solidarity compensation.
Arsenals missed transfers get brought up a lot. Wenger has Ibrahimovic, Toure, Ronaldo, Messi all signed up apparently!
Still not for sale
It wouldn't be a Liverpool transfer window if we didn't end up signing a relegated player, but this price I can't see it. I don't see why we're in for him anyway because it'd mean another African player in the squad. If the AFCON is not moved back again to summer 2022 we'd lose Mane, Salah, Keita, and Sarr in the winter (should their countries qualify) If we did end up with Sarr this window I can only see one of Salah and Mane next summer leaving to replenish our attack, too much to lose without them in those crucial months.
This is slightly different to training compensation then, which doesn’t continue for subsequent transfers over 23.
Bit weird how it has to be an international transfer.
I was under the impression they wanted to sign Timo Werner
It makes sense to me. FIFA have jurisdiction over transfers that are related to multiple football associations. However, when it comes to one national association, then it becomes a domestic matter, which FIFA cannot interfere in (sort of like national sovereignty).
