United thread 2019/20

[NZBlue]

I wouldn't be at all surprised in 3-5 years we see the rags play a team like Burnley "

Yeah but in which division? League 1 perhaps

Christ almost 40 replies to that thread and they've not clocked on to the fact its valuation not money spent.

Its not valuation - look up the details - its net spend adjusted by inflation ! However, if it was value then I think we would be sitting very pretty indeed. Oh by the way it is not the actual squad but net spend over the last 10 years !!

You must have a hell of a big garden.

Its 1500 sq metres so he might just manage to squeeze out

Nope, the pisscan is a sly, manipulative bully. When he was at the rags he used money and a position of authority to intimidate others to get what he wanted.

To me, Keane comes across like a street-fighter, he'll have a go no matter the opposition, for that I'll give him respect (grudgingly). He'll sit in a studio and tell it how it is, regardless if it offends any of the snowflake pundits sitting next to him. Fair play to him. He can express his opinion with clarity and articulation - of sorts. I get the impression with him that he would be equally content to discuss something in a calm and rational manner, or just kick the living fuck out of you, whatever. But people like the Pisscan do not have the intelligence to choose between option A or option B, simply because for him option A doesn't exist. People either agree with him or they're out, the end. No two-ways about it. He probably sees compromise as failure. I'm no psychology student, but it might be something about his background: growing up in a tough, working class neighbourhood, who knows?
But as I say, the Pisscan does not have the intelligence to communicate in an adult fashion. Not a chance.
When he was plugging his book I saw him on Channel 4 news being interviewed by Jon Snow, and you could tell at times that he was struggling to keep his temper under check. Every time Jon Snow asked a question that he didn't appear to understand, instead of seeking clarity, he seemed to tense up, narrow his eyes in classic Lee van Cleef style, and generally try to intimidate the man opposite - except the man opposite was Jon Snow, a professional television presenter, a well educated and erudite man who has crossed verbal swords with the best of them throughout his career and always emerged victoriously.

The pisscan got away with what he did for so many years because he was under the protection of the club he represented: and like all bullies, once the protection is removed they run scared. Whatever else he may be, strong he is not

Top post KB and agree with every word

Now that would be a sight to behold.

However, if they continue in their current form... you never know?

Someone's on drugs....




Manchester United will not budge on their £179million (€200m) asking price for Paul Pogba when the transfer window re-opens in January, according to reports in Spain.

 

[dadnlad]

Say good bye to that England starter spot Rashford.

He will be out of the squad within 3 years.

they'll need a new rag pin up boy before that happens

I hope that is true, keep the sulking lazy bastard there for as long as possible. If he ends up like DeGea, seeing out his career at the Swamp but counting his bank balance it is a thumbs up from me.

He is NOT a sulking lazy bastard he is just waiting the right player to free him up to run every game...............or so we have been told for the past 3 years!!

Great! They've priced him out of the market so they're resigned to the fact that he's going to stick around for a long long time yet. What a pisstake of a club.

 

[waspish]

Pogba career will end at the rags with the way they do contracts and asking fee.

Also they will go balls deep for Sancho in the summer I have no doubt! Do we have a buy back or any deal with dortmund when we sold him! In thinking we didnt.

Dunno tbh bud, i know we have a sell on clause but first refusal, not sure about that. There was no animosity though with his leaving as far as i know (purely business) so he would be open to coming back at some point, i think.

I don't feel he would go to Utd at any price unless we are talking the sort of wages that give Woodward sleepless nights. He seems a smart fella who wants to earn and achieve. He ain't getting both at utd for the foreseeable future.

Yeah I get that just saying the rags will go for him if Sancho wants to go there or not is a different matter? More inclined to think Sancho is thinking bigger a Madrid or a Barcelona.

Afaik carrington land (as also used to be used by City (and then lent to busted Bury) and still is by sale sharks) is owned by Sale FC rugby.

Although I’m happy to be corrected on that.

So United (owned by Glazers, owned by debt to the banks), have hardly any real assets other than players and a hardly fit for purpose Old Trafford.

We may not own our own stadium, but the rest of the land (and it’s many state of the art facilities) are (afaik).

Carrington is a depressing place, I agree.

Maybe they shud move back to The Cliff..
Is it still there?
It's in their history .
Ole likes history..
It was their training ground when City sent them down in 74.now that's History.

Just goes to show how far the rags have dropped when you consider this could well be true.

It's still there, and Solskjaer made them train there at one point last season to see how it was back in the good old days or some shit like that.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Look at what we have as seen in the Prime Documentary, ice chambers and other state of the art facilities, they have get 2 pitches and a coke machine.

Wio?

That worked out well, didn’t it.
