United thread 2019/20

yellow ticker breaking news on ssn Lisbon midfielder Fernandes wants to move to Manchester u*****

He wants to and then he will sit down with Paper Boy and ask what his vision for the future is, team set up and tactics, after three minutes* he will say 'either increase my weekly dosh to 250k or I'm out.

*He spent two of them laughing his head off.

Not sure he’s the answer to their problems, but he’s got to be a better option for them than Lingard, Mata or Pereira.

 

[Bill the Blue]

One slight tweak ;-)

I'm ashamed I mislead you mate..!

Appreciate your correction..!

Annoyingly he will replace Pogbas ability to win them games they have no right to win or turn a humiliating 1-0 loss to Villa into a draw with a moment of skill out if nothing - a free kick or a perfect cross or a 25 yard banger.

So when they sign Fernandes for 60 million, we all know that the " Utd 60 million" is more like 85 million. Give it a week though and it will be 50 million, 2 weeks 40 million and a month nothing as he came through the youth"

You know, people laugh at this, but just yesterday as everyone was raving about Agüero, I saw it being claimed that he cost us £40M. Which is patently untrue.

He's got incredible stats and looks an excellent player but something just doesn't stack up. He's been hawked around European for the past 12 months and a couple of clubs have come close to signing him but pulled out.

That’s not saying much, though, is it?

£38 million is the figure I remember being bandied about at the time.

 

[Hoghead]

Micah in his BBC article today said £35m. So definitely less than £40m

It was around £35 million or just short of that,by the time aguero leaves the media will have bumped it up to around £75 mill..

If Utd buy Fernandes for £60m, then their net transfer spend since Guardiola was appointed is the same as Man City (approx £465m).

Hahahahaha hahahahaha,and yet for all the shite thrown at us about spending we actually can back it up with top class signings and trophies to boot,as for rags well ?

A little off topic but bear with me. I was playing (Walking) football with a mate and we got to talking about George Best. Bored earlier, thought I would watch some Youtube of him. Came across a documentary, skip the rest but stop dead on 10.43 and look at the baseball cap.....

 

[CharliesRightPeg]

Just taken a trip to redcafe
It's fun sometimes

They're debating if Kdb is better than Beckham and you can guess which way it's going.

Beckham apparently definitely better as his crosses were perfect.
Ignoring that with close to 200 games less at City, he's only 15 assists down on the best crosser ever in the history of football

Some gossip / 'news' that Man Utd are in talks with Poch about him taking over in the Summer subject to conditions...

Just a line from the article which makes me love Zabba even more and explains why he signed for City …….
'Perhaps tellingly, Agüero revealed he had taken the advice of another of his Argentina team-mates, Pablo Zabaleta,'

Brilliant and for anyone that cant be arsed looking, Best is wearing a cap with RAG written in ;massive' letters on it.

Great spot.
