More and more "big" transfers are failed ones... not just Lukaku.
Werner, Greizman, Dembele, Coutinho, Hazard, Werner, Neymar, Messi, Pepe, Sancho, Pogba etc
They cant all be frauds. Whats that about? Pressure? Money?

I think the biggest thing is the players are victims of their transfer fees, which the clubs decide. Dembele, Hazard, Grizzou, Coutinho, Lukaku were just not worth $100M+, to be honest, I don't think any player is outside of maybe Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, and Mbappe and part of that is because of their commercial value as players.

The system also has to do with it as well.

I wouldn't say Sancho is a flop. Too soon to call.

output wise, I wouldn’t put Neymar there as a flop. If you put Neymar there as a flop, then you have to put Mbappe too, cos both of them were brought in for an immediate Champions League win.

Take Sancho too out.

Idk.. Neymar was different ... he was a ucl winner when he came to psg. Not to mention he never steped up for psg in an important game and never gave a shyt...always acting like he was to good for the french league..using every little excuse to not play and go to brazil, to hang out with his sister

Always bytching that he wants to go back to spain

Ronaldo moved to Juve for 100 mil, do you consider him a flop? :jbhmm:

Kind of. Juve was winning serie A with ease before he came.
He went to italy to win the ucl...
He didnt do that.

fukk his stats... he had crazy stats in la liga aswell but only won la liga twice in 10 fukking years

But no .. ronaldo was not a flop at juve.. he was their best player by a mile and carried that team in lots of matches.
Neymar didnt do that.. he didnt even try.

Feel sorry for Amad though. Loaned to Rangers and he can barley get a game. :francis:
Don't feel sorry for him either :manny:

On paper it looks like a perfect loan move. Sending him to the trash Scottish league so he can show out and simultaneously get used to the physicality of SPL and atmosphere/pressure of Ibrox. He choked in the Old Firm derby, which is understandable. But he refusing to get stuck in and in his following appearance looking even more timid is all on him.

He's a 19-year old with a season already under his belt at United, trained with the first team and scored against AC Milan in Europe. Only at Manchester United is a 24-year old still considered a youth and gets babied by the club and all pundits that used to play for United :hhh: if you're a 19-year old with 30m transfer tag you need to be up to speed, welcome to the real world :hubie:
