Elliot Anderson was my dream midfield signing this summer but I fully back United's decision not to go for him at the £125m+ price City will pay and to not enter a bidding war. We're learning as a club and I think in the long run this will only make us stronger in the transfer market.
I don't understand the complaints about Manchester United not bidding for Elliot Anderson. Have people learned nothing from last summer, or the Frenkie de Jong saga? There is no point bidding for a player that has decided they do not want to join the club.
City bid for Anderson because he has clearly indicated that he wants to go there. The reasons? Irrelevant. That is where he wants to go. In the transfer market you bid with encouragement to do so from the players' camp. Why would a meaningless bid be better?
Sadly Anderson hasn't been in briefs for a little while now, it is becoming clear why that was. The club wanted him, did what they could & he picked someone else. That isn't a slight on their ambition. It's the reality that they can't compete with City's wages.
It was the same with Antoine Semenyo. Money talks. Manchester United have not recovered financially from years of transfer & contract mistakes, they still have some on their books. It'll take more time & good season on good season to fix that.
It is often the people complaining the loudest who either don't know how the game is played, or are being actively ignorant about it & don't want to learn.
@geordiejosh@wefollowunited Arsenal have been worse over the years. Not now, big clubs always come back. United will be back too. Newcastle aren’t one of them.
@JJ46ers También te digo. Hay veces que fichas un jugador antes de que valga los 100 millones. Se encuentran perlas que se convierten en eso. No va a ser el caso de Ederson, pero un Alex Scott o perfiles similares, pueden acabar siendo estrellas.
@JJ46ers Eso digo. Mateus / Mainoo para un puesto. Ederson / xxx para el otro. Si xxx hubiera podido ser alguien como Anderson, hubiera quedado un centro del campo en condiciones. Firmaba ahora mismo. Pero no veo ningún xxx fichable.
@JJ46ers Me da la sensación de que Mateus Fernandes y Ederson llegan seguro. Y sería un gran mercado si les hubiera podido acompañar la estrella. El problema que veo es eso último.
@JJ46ers Para mí el problema no es tanto lo de Ederson, sino el hecho de que creo que no hay opciones de un jugador del perfil que dices. Anderson va al City, lo he vuelto a leer varias veces a los que te dije. Me cuesta creer que sacas a Tonali del Newcastle. No hay estrella.
Can’t lie. Those scenes in London are proper. Pure celebrations. Not the artificial crap we’ve become used to…
It’s why I can’t fathom how ANY United fan, or football fan in general aside from their rivals, would prefer those cheats winning another title over Arsenal.
@JJ46ers Cuando lo vuelva a ver ya te pasaré, pero ya se lo he leído a todos estos varias veces. Tiene pinta que Baleba será EL fichaje ahí. Lo demás complementario.
