United thread 2019/20

[paulchapo]

Of course not. It's excruciating. The hype around that club is a joke.

The dippers and the rags, media darlings, closely followed by Spurs.

 

[big phil]

There we have it, snubbed City, supported the rags as a boy, FFS !!!
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/harry-maguire-snubbed-278000-week-18944090

So what happened to the widely reported stories at the beginning of the transfer window that the player wanted to join City? No mention of any boyhood allegiance to the rags either. And as for the prospect of paying him more than Sergio?
Probably a good thing that Cross had no credibility to start with...

 

[aguero93:20]

I think he'll discernibly improve them at the back.

Not hard to do. Duncan Edwards himself would improve them at the back and he's been dead a very long time.

 

[Breadsnapper]

who cares? Fair play to the deluded ****................he may have a different view in 5 years time however.

Might have a different view come December 7th.

 

[Woody135]

There is not a single picture of maguire as a kid in a united shirt. If there was, it would have been plastered everywhere.

So for any idiot that doesn’t see this as the pro united, anti city spin that it is...

- hes not a united fan
- city didn’t agree a fee and wouldn’t go up to leicesters valuation
- city wouldn’t have (informally) offered a contract above laportes salary as he wouldnt be worth that and that doesnt fit the structure

The whole thing is a load of shit, and there is nothing that can be done about it other than call it out for the shit it is

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Haha was waiting for this bull shit the Rags were now his boyhood team and we didn't even put an bid in for him did we .?

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Don't forget Wan-Bissaka as well. He will improve them I guess but you wouldn't have all this media love fest if we had bought him.

Who could forget Wank-Bissaka? An expensive punt if ever I saw one.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Hilarious stuff from Jeremy Cross in the Star tomorrow. Apparently Maguire turned down an extra 100k a week from us to join the Rags.

All this does for me is confirm the boy has no brain cells. IF, and that's a massive IF this is true it's incredible.

Would he really turn down the opportunity to play for what is recognised as being one of the best teams thats ever played in the premier league, for the undisputed best coach in the game today for an extra 100k per week?

I don't care how uneducated or stupid you might be or how loyal a fan of the opposition you may be NOBODY would ever turn down a deal like that. ABSOLUTE FACT.

These papers think we as moronic as they are deluded.

There is absolutely fucking zero percent chance that is true. Utterly preposterous.

They are writing these articles to get United fans to click on the story or buy the paper. When they’ve had the shit storm of Fergie leaving creating turmoil for the whole club they cling to every little bit of crumb and false hope. That’s why the journos write it, fuck I’d do it if it payed my mortgage so fair fucks to them for having the brass neck to write it, get away with it and make money off it.

I’ve yet to meet a United fan who ain’t a moron, the fact they choose to support a club because they are successful tells us a lot about their emotional and mental well being.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

You mean City wouldn't offer a player a contract before agreeing a fee with the selling club first? And that Cross hasn't randomly come up with €300k and then converted it to £?

My faith in the Daily Star is shaken now.

 

[KS55]

Please God give the job to Giggsy when ole gets the sack in December. And please if you can get someone to record the half time team talk and let it go viral. I will go to church every Sunday from now on.

Amen

The government through the BBC have gone big on 'Fake News' recently but it doesn't seem to matter if that fake news is on the sports pages.

It's just food for the rag lemmings , ignore and move on.

 

[Aytoun]

rags knew story of sanchez extracting 500,000 a week for another 3 years was coming out, so their own pr lads got the news that hm was only getting about half that to be published by fake news people.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

There is absolutely fucking zero percent chance that is true. Utterly preposterous.

The utd pr department holy trinity, with new signings.

Joined the biggest club in the world.
Boyhood fan.
Snubbed City.

They never fail.

 

[rumone]

reported this morning slab head turned down city and £278k a week!
3 key points on the real reason he did not sign for us are as follows
1-should imagine utd offered more!
2- was not guaranteed first choice starting place
3- the main reason as he knew he could not fill vinnys boots!too much pressure on him!
took on the easy option!

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

"Harry Maguire turned down an eye-watering £278,000-a-week contract offer from Manchester City for a move to their fierce rivals Manchester United this summer."

OMG - Fierce rivals - I don't even regard them as a rival anymore - more an irritating rash!

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

And apparently he was a boyhood rag fan despite everyone saying he is a dyed in the wool blade

There is no chance City offered him a salary remotely close to that.
