VC is absolutely right. This transfer was there to be does in the summer.
.....
And for substantially less.
-------------------------------------------------
It would've been for a similar price.
There was no desire to sign him in the summer so there's no point in blaming Woodward for us not making a move.
We had interest but that's all it was at the time. It actually got to the point that the club had to inform the media to knock it in the head, such was their annoyance at us being constantly linked with him.
Ultimately we decided against going for him and instead made attempts to sign Dybala and Eriksen.
I'm not even sure we would've signed him in January tbh either if McTominay and Pogba had been fully fit.

Great post.
Preparing for incoming in 5, 4, 3, 2,....
Looks like RDD in full idiot mode again today.

So far today I have said
Sports people can be role models for just their sporting achievements
I’d rather listen on the radio than watch a stream when games aren’t televised
Fernandes was a great buy at a great price.
Shoot me.

.....
It was much more than that. Which is why we were keeping tabs on him.
Hindsight but that is what these people at our club are paid for.

We have tabs on countless players. We aren’t about to sign them all

Yep. He's having the impact I'd hoped. We really missed that quality in midfield. We would interesting to see him in there with McT and Pogba.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about Fred ? You think McT is better than Fred, don't you ?

---------------------------------------------
No it wasn't.
Keeping tabs on him is what you do when you have interest in a player but the people involved in the recruitment process obviously decided against taking that interest any further.

Which was a mistake and my point.
It wasn’t.
The club moved for him once the manager was certain of the player. It’s the correct approach
Which was a mistake and my point.
----------------------------------------------
Then why are you blaming Woodward?
It's not as if Ole wanted him during the summer and Ed said no or made a mess of the negotiations.
Then why are you blaming Woodward?
......
To get a rise out of RDD. No other reason.

Fred was poor today but he's been very good prior to that.
A midfield trio of Fred, McT and Bruno would be interesting. Only problem is Ole has rarely played a 3 in CM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He just played 3 midfielders.

He didn't , he played his preferred 4231 formation
He rarely, if ever, plays 433
