United thread 2018/19

There is absolutely no quick fix for the scum, they need to realise they're shit and be prepared for more years of struggle and mediocrity but with an eye to the future. No point in buying the 7 - 10 players people are saying they need, they need a playing style identity and get the players that fit into that, most people would say De Gea is one of the worlds best but he just wouldn't suit our style, so what's the point and the same goes for them. Until they have a plan, and that means manager/players that suit each other,then they'll continue to lurch from one disaster to another and take a new manager years to put right but more than likely being shown the door before achieving anything and the carousel continues

One more transfer window should do it.
Mou is doing irreprable damage. His legacy will cost them for another decade.

Hopefully mate..

There is an interesting thread on the Caf about the spending since the GPC left, well worth a look.
In general the main gripe is that we have spent better than them.

One post in particular is quite insightful and damning by comparing both clubs top 10 signings, the cost difference is neither here nor there but 9 of our 10 started on Sunday while only three of theirs did. It does really highlight the miss management of them as a club.

Matic for £40 million baffles me.
It just doesn’t make sense.

I thought martial was a lot more than you say.
Maybe it’s the add ons that bump it up. Did he score a goal recently that triggered an add on fee?
I hope so lol
