| The Fury said: Man U will officially be the joke this season. £90m and wage for a player they let go for nothing. |
Yep, that's the new gold standard.
Dortmund let go their youth talent Marco Reus for nothing in 2005 and bought him back in 2012 for 17.1 million €.
Bayern sold Mats Hummels to Dortmund in 2009 for 4.2 million and bought him back this season for ~38 million.
I'm sure there are other examples from other leagues as well, but the Man U deal is a whole new level of "overlooked/ignored talent in your own team".
