3 minus 2 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Ferguson let pogba walk on a free transfer and utd then 2 years later utd signed him back for 90 million making fergusons original act of letting him walk go down as the costliest transfer blunder EVER and just to compound it UTD are favourites to resign, keane another player they released for a nominal sum and 2 years later trying to resign for somewhere between 10 and twenty times what they sold him for.!!! On the face of it those original decisions to fail to resign pogba and release keane ,finacially are proving to be amongst the costist decisions EVER. However i suspect there are a few more around.

3 minus 2 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Over at the council estate who are they still paying off ? I know Adeboy' s well off their books but he cost them a few bob, for the time a large original transfer,, then a HUGE long term contract most of which was paid for by them even when he didnt play for them.

Man U tried everything to get Pogba to sign a new contract , but he refused to do so. Maybe Man U could have offered him a huge salary . The error that Man U seemed to have done, is paying 90 M for him, Chelsea paid 30 M for Costa , sold Lukaku for 28 M .

BangrakBob Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I don't know if you can call them costly transfer blunders, I guess you can but it's part of the business.
