'Same old problems' - fans discuss missing out on Fernandes

[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on Manchester United pulling out of the transfer for West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes, as Tottenham agree a deal. Here are some of your comments: John: Manchester United have made it obvious they want to put profits before trophies. We will finish up with no midfield next season. Isaac: I feel like he is the one player who had room to flourish but the figure was always going to be a determinant. Sad to see him go, especially to Spurs. We should not be losing out to teams with no Champions League to offer. Luis: I'm very disappointed with us not chasing the Fernandes deal - look at how good Declan Rice has been for Arsenal . We need at least three midfielders, especially with the extra 10-15 games we will play and the injury to Manuel Ugarte. It just seems all the club is focused on is cutting costs and wanting to build a new stadium when we need to focus on the squad now. I can understand they don't want to splurge on players as we have done in the past, but if this club wants to succeed we need to start taking more risks. Simon: This is just a repeat situation of the same old problems. If we're not careful, we will waste all the good work that Michael Carrick has put in. Mark: Personally, I don't think we're missing out at all at the reported £85m. Years gone by United have been ridiculed at throwing big money on transfer fees so, in my honest opinion, it's correct not to pay that asking price. Nigel: I feel the management are right to only want players to join if they are committed to United. We have lost a lot of money overpaying for players who weren't fully committed and whose performances showed it. Nigel: If Fernandes decides to go to Spurs then it's his loss. He'll regret it. Ian: Draw a line under it and move on, no way is he an £85m player. Move for Aurelien Tchouameni or Sandro Tonali.
