@Denno876er The issue is I just donโt trust our recruitment enough right now. Iโd rather keep someone like Santos, who has at least shown real glimpses of being a player, than sell him early and re-enter an inflated midfield market.
Santos is a future Brazil int player for 50m...
BlueCo model on full display.
Buy Andrey Santos for ยฃ18m, stash him at Strasbourg, bring him back when the midfield is held together by tape, then sell him for profit before he actually gets the chance to develop here.
๐จ EXCL: Manchester United reach agreement with Chelsea to sign Andrey Santos. Deal for 22yo #CFC midfielder worth ยฃ48m + ยฃ2m easily achievable add-ons & 10% sell-on clause. Permission given to undergo #MUFC medical; personal terms in place @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/TY4qfwhHT4
Gusto, Delap, Tosin, Lavia, Garnacho and co are still here though so itโs fine. Letโs see how many of actual below par players they manage to offload.
๐จ๐ด Andrey Santos to Manchester United, here we go! Deal in place with medical now booked in next 24h for Brazilian midfielder.
#MUFC to pay ยฃ50m matching price asked by Chelsea plus 10% sell-on clause.
Contract until June 2031 to be signed tomorrow โ follows @David_Ornstein.
@Denno876er Heโs physical enough, reads danger well, wins duels, and actually gives us control in midfield. Both Kante and Caicedo aren't exactly giants.
