TA有段我覺得寫得幾好
Q: We already know United have been keeping tabs on a number of centre-forwards, including Ollie Watkins and Moise Kean. Why not sign one of those players now with the Mbeumo money, then go back to Brentford when one of our unwanted players is sold?
A: Because transfer deals aren’t as easy as EA Sports FC or Football Manager make them seem.
The summer transfer window is a mirror world to our own: one that follows its own rules and where negotiations can resemble a card game in the back of a smoky pool hall. Getting this far into negotiations with Brentford, only to then hit them with a “brb” text message feels like a mistake best avoided.
There’s also no guarantee that Aston Villa, Fiorentina or another club will play nicer in the market, especially after United have revealed they have £50-60 million to commit to a player right now.
