Manchester United were right not to pay £116m for Elliot Anderson & £300k+ p/w & they are right not to pay £85m for Mateus Fernandes & £250k p/w.
Not overpaying for players is something the club has to change. If they don't value players at that price they shouldn't & won't be bullied into paying it.
This is the correct decision, whether you want to or can swallow it or not. These are changes the club needed to make & they're correctly making them.
Fernandes isn't worth the wages when considering the club's wage structure. I understand frustration on time wasted, but I can't believe people think he's worth that.
There will be performative outrage, turbo tweeting temper tantrums. I understand frustration of the unknown now & what happens next. That's fair.
The double edged sword with these decisions is being able to pivot to alternative targets & find value in the market - the club have to prove they can do that.
Within the last two years, Matheus Fernandes was available for £40m, Elliot Anderson £35m, Yan Diomande £20m, Morgan Rogers £8m & Eli Jr Kroupi £10m. Feels like “big” clubs are going to have to start taking a few more risks in the transfer market to try and get ahead of the game.
Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately
115 financial charges - PL will get back to you on that in a few years
WOW this explains the whole Southampton spy story.
This seems to me like it was a fully planned operation 😂
I do think Southampton could be in trouble 😳🤯
Gary Neville said he is happy Gabriel stayed on the pitch, after what he said about Lisandro last week, that is a complete contradiction.
You cannot have two different standards considering Gabriel’s was far more violent. That is exactly what frustrates people.
