That was his price because of the juventus deal with riola. Anybody who signed him would have to pay the same amount so why solely blame united for overpaying in that deal. Even that record will soon be broken with mbappe or dybala. Even psg wants 100 m for veratti.
We got the money back for di maria, who was bought as a desperation to 2013 summer buisness and woodwards desperation to make a statement ,While shaw being 18 yet 67 games into his epl career and his entire age in front of him to develop while being english just like a ferdinand transfer, Look at sandro or VVD fee now.
We are already overpaying for morata with 70 m offer who has lower numbers that lacazette and unrpoven. If a club demands unrelaistic overblown overrated price for the quality of the player that does not mean they will get it.
Sandro hasn't moved, we lost money on di Maria and Pogba's inflated fee was exclusive to us. No other club was stupid enough to bother with such intricate payments barring us, which means relative to the market, we over paid.
Chelsea are signing wing backs for 35m when they achieved far more than Shaw did, and paying that much because wing backs are a different, rare art to standard full backs.
Lacazette is a good example of where the market is now. Moving for about 30% more than you'd expect but that's the price for a 25 goal striker at 26. Pogba wasn't even worth 50m let alone 89m but we just gave a blank cheque. Not going to derail further. You're the only one around who seemingly thinks we aren't paying a price this summer for overpaying in the past. It's blatantly obvious and the writing was on the wall when we bought Pogba last summer (heck I even made a thread on it last year).
