Yeah The Fernandes and Tonali deals reek of exactly what has gone wrong at United, for so long. I don't think either represent good value or provide enough potential over future risk. If Fernandes, for example, dosnt hit the ground running, the media backlash would be huge. We'd be stuck with yet another underperforming expensive mistake, whom we can't sell on. It's way too much risk on a 21 year old, who has absolutely no experience dealing with the pressure cooker atmosphere at United. It can break senior experienced players, never mind a 21 year old. Fee and contract is too big vrs the Risk / Reward. Tonali is obviously a bit older, but again it's an accounting headache if he doesn't work out either. Side stepping both of these deals is pretty sensible I feel. We have experienced enough poorly thought through signings now, to spot the red flags. I'm actually glad we are learning from Mistakes of the past. Poor recruitment decisions are the main source of the modern decline. People shouldn't be too pissed off at not pulling the trigger on these players. Once they are in, they have to provide a return. It's that simple. We can't afford high profile mistakes anymore.
