Sancho seems to be close to PSG on loan with obligation with Ugarte going the other way.

Disagree. Look at how much clubs spent for De Ligt and how much they spent for Morata. Morata is overrated too, but not like this. At least he had a great season + EURO24, can't say the same for De Ligt.

I am just saying there is a reason why De Ligt's price drops by 20m every next club he goes too. As a young lad, he got all the awards he could. He deserved it. After that he went to two clubs that were winning leagues like it was nothing and both those clubs sold him. He isn't getting any better, he might be getting worse.

Wait, I thought MU has moved away from buying ex Ajax-ten-Hag palyers?

De Ligt reminds me of Lukaku a bit. When they both had their breakthrough seasons people saw world class potential in them but they never really lived up to the hype. Good players but nowhere near as good as they could have been.

Biggest scam has to be Ousmane Dembele. Decent player, 25m max kind of player but instead....

I disagree about Dembele. He has tremendous skills but no brains and he hasn't worked at all to improve. When i see Dembele i still see the teenage boy who was at Dortmund. Moments of brilliance here and there so you can see there's a great player in there but super inconsistent and terrible decision making. He's similar to Balotelli for me.

Scam in terms of amount of money clubs have spent for him? Sure. But not a scam in terms of raw talent.

Worst price per quality ratio is probably Antony, following up by Correa.
Jesus Christ how can 100m and 32m player be that bad?!?

If we were in EPL, we would have that money too.

De Ligt isn't bad though.

Morata is also a very good player but he's not a scorer.

Although I have never supported any club that Dembele has played for, whenever I watch him play I'm perpetually shaking my head in annoyance. He's a great footballer who is absolutely rubbish at football.

But we'd not be Inter, we'd be something soulless.

I like to think that if Inter ever come into big money again, the lessons of recent years in which the club has realised it can do a lot with a little would be retained and just scaled up a bit.
