United Thread - 2022/23

Signing a midget centre back was a masterstroke. As Brighton and Brentford have shown all the opposition has to do is pump it long and their defence is fucked. The better sides will still treat their defence as a roundabout and batter them with football but even relegation fodder stand a chance if all they have to do is hoof long balls up and wait for them to sail over Martinez's head or for Maguire or De Gea to fuck up royally.

It’s a free bet and I couldn’t resist

If it was a player moving from a 'smaller club', no European football etc... you'd understand it. However, you have to question the mentality of a player who has 'it all' at Madrid and picks United.

So obviously money orientated, when he's 35 years old he'll still be getting £300k+ a week, remember that when United a still in this mess 5 years down the line.

The daft bastards never learn. That's their transfer policy over the last 10 years in a nutshell.

When we've won it 10 times on the trot, and beaten their 13 PL titles, no one will give a flying fuck about how "big" we are.

We'll still be ruining football though.

But the owners don’t spend money !! ( apparently)

€85m! Mental.

And £300k a week!

For a 30 year old, new to the league, who will be required to play every week because the only other option is McTominay.

Disaster written all over it.

Will be 35 when he ends his career there (if he lasts that long )and worth fuck all

Suddenly, they are going to sign Casimero, the de Jong deal is back on and Antony has gone on strike at Ajax to get a move to them? We are probably talking average 60m fee + agents fees + unpaid wages + add-ons, before wages even get mentioned. How convenient that all this is reported when the scum are due to play the red dippers Monday, and there are threats of mass zebra panted protests, threatening to get the game cancelled.
Once the game has been played, as the zebra panted ones were placated, it will no doubt, be reported that at least 2 of those transfers will not be happening.
I have the day off Tuesday, so will watch with much popcorn and even more alcohol, whilst doing my best not to laugh.

as it was for the previous 25 years - its just that then they had all the money so it was fair and above board
