Transfer rumours - summer 2021 edition

Quality player from what I’ve seen of him.
Exactly the type of signing (age, ability, potential) we should be making.
The perfect time to sign him was that January when Kane and Son got injured. He was doing well for Peterborough at the time and would easily have been gettable for us for a reasonable fee which would also have appeased Mourinho as he was desperate for a centre forward. I mentioned him as an option back then when we were talking about the fact we again had zero strikers available. Times like that when we didn't bring in anyone make me wonder whether THFC actually has a scouting department?

You think Jose would have been appeased by the arrival of a striker from League One?
 
I wonder how much money we have, if we can raise some from somewhere then this summer could offer some bargains. Some clubs must be in really poor shape and we could take advantage.
 
Do they need another attacking player? their buying has zero fudging strategy.

Good player but don't see how he takes the team to another level.
They've needed a right sided attacker for quite a while. If you watch Utd games their attack is quite unbalanced with everything coming from the left or centre. They've played Greenwood there at times because of his left foot and he has done pretty well, but he's not a winger. So the Sancho purchase isn't gratuitous at all.

He is instantly their best attacker IMO
The lad will own the right hand side for them and they can move Greenwood central
He is so young and he is getting better and better
We fudged up massiveky not taking him in the Walker deal

Everytime I see him play I remember how close we got to getting him. Oh well, another what could have been. [emoji30]

So Pogba, Martial, Greenwood, VDB, Fernandes, Rashford, Cavani, Sancho in the same side?

I get the comment re balance, but surely if you had £80M+ it wouldn't be on yet another fudging attacking player

Now maybe they are going to splash out another £150M and address other parts of the squad and fair enough ..
