The fact is that, perhaps, someone expected US (that, as you should know, are not big in money) to go to the European Champions and best and richest club in the world, fresh of silverware, to go there, pick up their best young homegrown talent, and Marotta to gangsta dictate our own rules.
Yeah, nice story, but then there's reality.

So, because they were not desperate and we were...theres was no way that we would have outsmarted them in a deal they were not even needing anyways.
I think its clear as day that Morata got huge potential to become something good at the very least...so any competent SD would not be fooled to by ou offer and give him to us for peanuts.
Yes, they gave him to us, but on their terms, otherwise they would have NEVER sold him to us. Thy are RM ffs.
And we need to remember that we never bended over their offers for Vidal and Pogba...so why they should bend on ours?.
