Lisandro Martinez is RIGHT about Man United! 😬

Having money to spend isn't the same as getting the player you want. That is the distinction driving The Good, The Bad & The Football's latest Manchester United discussion, which argues that the club is settling for names further down its transfer wish list.

The Short has drawn nearly 180,000 views before its first day is over, already far beyond the channel's usual opening-day audience for that format. Its comments are more than six times as numerous as on a typical first day, too.

Under the title "Lisandro Martinez is RIGHT about Man United! 😬", the podcast excerpt shows an image of the defender while the hosts make their case. It isn't an interview with Martinez. One speaker argues that United's preferred targets, and even their alternatives, are unwilling to join: "They're ending up having to take and sign the third and fourth targets." The other calls that a major problem for the club.

The comments pick apart the argument rather than simply repeating it. Some focus on boardroom decisions and recruitment priorities; others point out that spending heavily doesn't guarantee the right signing, and that a transfer still requires the player to say yes.

The channel also posted a separate clip criticizing United's bosses that day. Here, though, the concern is more specific: a transfer budget cannot buy a first-choice signing who doesn't want to come.

You can only sign a player if he wants to join the club.

Ask Liverpool at the moment , and look at your past signings. You don't always get what you pay for.

clubs like brentford bournemouth brighton are built to recruit players of lower value that are quality where as big teams are built to spend money and when you are no longer paying the money it can fall apart quickly
