United thread 2019/20

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This is a question that should be getting raised more often, a £50+ million player who can't get into that shambles of a midfield.

Scheduled his wedding after the Copa America (he didn’t even get called up).
Got married and went on honeymoon.
Back at the swamp now, but missed preseason and is playing catch up on fitness.

Subsidizing him to play elsewhere. Oh dear.

I know he's been shit, as have Lukaku and Pogba, but every one they sell is another player they don't have to bring in if someone gets injured. Their squad looks pretty threadbare with talent.

BBC and 400k a week lol. And the rest. Trust BBC to quote a lower wage than the 500-540k a week reported in many other media outlets

If Lukaku starts banging em in for fun at inter it wouldn't surprise me if the lunatics put a bid in.

Sanchez signing for Inter on loan with the rags paying more than £200k per week of his wages still.

Here's a pic of the bullet we dodged:

BBC quoting £74m for Lukaku when Conte himself said he cost €65m a few days ago.

Re Sanchez:

If they have injuries up front they will really struggle. I am shocked they sold lukaku without replacing him

But they have.

With a17 year-old.

I hear he's presently on a downward trajectory and slowly shedding his summer holiday pounds

Did change his Euro/dollars/whatever back to sterling when he arrived back in the UK?

Lukaku and Sanchez purchased with such fanfare that they were going to bring the glory days back. Now quietly ushered out of the door you’d be gutted if you were an Inter Milan fan having to watch them two show ponies. Then again you’d be gutted if you were a rag having to watch the club they’ve both just left.

I’ve never seen a club quickly write off player signing so quickly Sneijderlin, Fred, Sanchez, Lukaku, Micky Terrapin, Matic. All bought with significant outlays one season and gone or trying to be pushed out of the door the next.
