@paulrobs84@Gerry_Deakin Ah Paul that’s just boring.
I thought you would’ve had a big dickriding speech lined up over how INEOS are actually targeting players at the World Cup and this was the plan all along.
Don’t forget to mention the good relationship with Jorge Mendes😂
@DeXPACX@speeds_c Didn’t say they did?
They’ve spent the past 18 months making sure everyone knows that they want nothing to do with him.
Nobody is gonna believe that they’re actually happy to keep him now.
So it’ll be a loan in august.
@DeXPACX@speeds_c It’s just a tactic to get a buyer obviously.
Unfortunately they’re so bad at their jobs that clubs know they’ll accept a loan in August.
@paulrobs84@Gerry_Deakin Idk what to tell you bro.
If you look at that whole MF situation and think United did well then you’re the happy clappy puppet that the briefs are aimed at.
United have 1 central midfielder at the club.
This “midfield rebuild” hasn’t shown any sort of planning.
@paulrobs84@Gerry_Deakin Isn’t that how every transfer in history works?
Yes spurs were willing to meet the price tag as well as double the wages we were offering and probably got a nice agent bonus himself.
He only works in his own interests.
So again how did our good relationship help us?
@paulrobs84@Gerry_Deakin Which is it?
Was it fair value or was it because we had leverage?
Did that good relationship help us with MF?
It helped when he wanted to pawn off Ugarte.
Jorge mendes does deals that benefit him. You’re a dumbass if you think otherwise
@paulrobs84@Gerry_Deakin So we’re still paying asking prices we’re just doing it over a few years.
United spent a month chasing preference of a player whose agent is notorious for not letting his clients do that.
Do you honestly think that was smart?
@paulrobs84@Gerry_Deakin Didn’t they pay a release clause for Cunha and full price for Mbuemo?
Sesko less up front but more in add ons so evens out.
What leverage was gained there?
@paulrobs84@Gerry_Deakin 1. United don’t do anything in secret so I’m not gonna believe there’s some secret targets they’re working on.
2. They still wasted a month chasing a target they were never gonna buy at the price.
They seem to have a list of targets but don’t have any idea what they would cost.
@FalseNineRole@hamzaa__i United have known the quoted price for nearly 3 weeks now?
Whether you think the market is inflated or not, it’s united’s job to adapt to it.
Instead they’ve wasted their time on a deal they were never gonna do and haven’t worked on any alternatives in that time.
@MUFCtheReligion@UtdDyl Ohhhh you’re one of those types.
So if he’s not a priority, why have we been chasing him for close to a month?
While also not working on any other deals.
@M_Carl84@sameoldshit01@indiana_imo And cheap signings don’t guarantee anything?
Otherwise they would’ve been our priority.
I’m not gonna trust a midfield rebuild when we’re already onto our 3rd choice target.
