So now United are in for our targets and offering more money...funny that, it's almost like if you don't make serious bids you don't get top quality players.

Agreed. We might be getting impatient (really because we all know that players like Ndombele would be so good that we're scared of missing out) but if I recall correctly, we took ages last summer before there were even any proper rumblings of a transfer.
We're definitely going for it this time.
Could see him ending up at PSG if I'm honest
Direct result of Levy's"down to the wire, how cheap can you get him" policy. He's more interested in a bargain than a great and well balanced team.
Manu are desperate to get rid of at least half their squad and find better players committed to Manu - offering just money means they will fail to find committed players, as they tried that to get Pogba, Alex Sanchez etc that they now want rid of.
Atm every media outlet is linking ManU to every half decent player on the market - and no chance they can sign them all and keep within a 25 man squad eve. If they sell 20 of their existing squad ( which is all but impossible by itself)
Can play as a winger and second striker.
I guess if Poch thought that he could make him into a Son style striker then sure? But surely we have other priority areas.
Just concerned we will miss out because Levy is too interested in getting the best deal possible rather than getting players that would really take us to the next level.
Is it to late to put in a bid for Perez? An AMF who can score. I think he'd be a great fit for us and moving to the top end of the PL would be a tremendous catalyst for him.
Transfers are difficult to predict.
If Man U offered £5 m more to the selling club but the player wanted to reject Manu and come to Spurs then reality is selling club can refuse to sell to Spurs but cannot force player to sign for Manu can only force player to stay at selling club.
So throwing money at a problem - sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn't.
Other problem of course is a high % of media is click bait which makes it difficult to be sure what is actually true.
Such a risky tactic this keep waiting for the price to drop another million then we bid so often has the case been that we have lost out on targets.
Or we make any bid and the selling club touts the player to richer teams before making a decision anyway
exactly, both the agent and the selling club want to maximise the amount they get so they’ll be flaunting them to all the carbon clubs/desperate United
When did it stop being the beautiful game and become a business? It's now becoming just like sports in the States. All about money.
Always has been, players and clubs have always tried to get the most dosh.
Aaaah, the Mbappe strawman, this years Ronaldo/Messi strawman
*checks bingo box regardless*
