There's also the fact that most players now are situational players and not champions. They will do good in a certain system/environment but very few if any possess the intelligence and the leadership skills to thrive and positively effect their teammates.
True, when trying to think of a player I also had to consider that he probably wouldn't be anywhere near as successful here as he is at his current club for the reasons you said.
nah fuck Lookman we cant afford him, I'm done buying frauds from Atalanta now... Sancho I believe is not going to happen and has been the case for a while now, my honest opinion is we enquired with his agent to understand the demands, I don't believe we've ever sat down with Man utd at any stage to discuss transfer fee.
As for Zhegrova thats more fucking like it! I wanted him last summer and learning that he's been frozen out of the first team this summer as he wants to leave I said we should be in for him then!
As cringy as it sounds I applaud him for trying his best with what seems to be was our final chance to close the gap. Honestly don't care about what's best course of action now or saving face as some put it especially in italy, they can continue bitching over when's convenient for them to show up and play against each other all the while being feeder to newly promoted clubs in prem.
7 mill sounds about right, thats why we had to get rid of Vlahovic, but clearly the club can't wait forever, neither than Kolo, we had to act now, take the hit and resolve the Vlahovic issue later.
