When a club's scouting department is poor, the club will always try to hijack other clubs' primary targets, only to be rejected or offer more money to convince the player to join. Chelsea has been going through the same thing for the last five years: our scouting department is ineffective, and we always end up with players we didn't want. Clubs with good scouting have completed transfers since the start of the season, whereas clubs with poor scouting are still active in the market.

Chelsea has some good players from Chelsea Academy and I think they are doing good job from scout team to staffs in their academy. They helped to grow up some talented players who now are elgible in Chelsea squad already.

With United, they are doing worse job. They have very little youth players who are home-grown in their squad. And their sciut team are bad to find good players for the club on transfer market.

Chelsea have a bunch of Academy midfielders and defenders, the problem has been a good striker, the only last good one was Tammy Abaraham and that's where Chelsea has failed to straighten out since Diago Costa left the club, I would say Chelsea are really doing well with academy scouting but not for the first team and this current transfer proves it, sometimes you don't need a world class player, you just need the right players with the right ability to fit into

I believe Manchester United has been poorly managed by the Glazers for many years. The club's spending has been based solely on internal revenue, and the Glazers have not injected money into the club for some time. The women's team is underfunded, and they cannot compete with the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal in the women's Super League. Selling the club may be the best option.

Joe Felix is not what they need right now; they need a proper DM and a proper CB because Maguire and the rest are bad

They just want to waste money again if they buy a player at very expensive cost but don't have clear plan on how to use him. Felix is a good player but I fail to see how he is good for Manchester United with tactics they have now with Ten Hag. In addition, it is hard to convince Felix to leave Atletico and join United. With Atletico, he has chance to play in Champions League and compete for La Liga title. With United, he will not have it.

With the business they've done so far, ATM has no chance of competing for the title, and I don't think Felix values champions league football all that much; if the pay cheque is large enough, he might as well try a new challenge.
