@WinnrsMentality it's about current situation of the club. If we were in Man city's shoes right now, charges aside, I wouldn't mind paying 115m for Anderson. We'd be scrutinised for it as we're the media's favourite topic.
but all they need to do is replace 1 midfielder this yr.
@WinnrsMentality Ye because they were took over before the inception of ffp, bought the top 6 clubs players and best of the rest teams star player.
Nasri
Barry
Delph
Sagna
Clichy
Tevez
And lied about wages too 😂
@markgoldbridge How did it work for us Mark? did we get value for money when we did it?
You can’t complain we over spent and then the next window cry we havent over spent.
City are just in a diff place right now to us, we need to smarter rn
You could argue, only 2 of them have been a success.
caicedo and Rice
Pogba was nowhere near as bad as media made out but he was expected to score 20 per year. Not a success till, united banter era
‘Big Six’ record signings…
Man City: Elliot Anderson - £130m
Liverpool: Alexander Isak - £125m
Chelsea: Moises Caicedo - £115m
Arsenal: Declan Rice - £105m
Man Utd: Paul Pogba - £89m
Spurs: Dominic Solanke - £65m
City, Liverpool & Chelsea have breached £100m multiple times.
@Mike87_United If we were in the position city are in, its understandable, some what.
But, 130m for him, is way too much when we need multiple positions.
Manchester United have to realise that even if we go for Alex Scott now, the midfielder market is now 80m for a player of that quality.
we've seen a team with no real leverage, just get relegated and got their asking price.
Brighton also got 52m for a cb w 1 year left.
it's 2026.
Spurs are challenging for Tonali and Mateus Fernandes
United have pulled out of the Tonali race and about to lose the MF race.
Which team finished 17th and escaped relegation on final day by 2 points?
@ammandev All he has to do is say, he'll stay unless it's for Man United. As long as we also go up a little. Market value is also what other clubs are willing to pay.
Yes, don't go to 80/85. but sticking to 60/65 is suicidal.
