It's only their deep-seated love of the Rags that stopped Phil Jones and Martial from signing for Barcelona years ago. Apparently, they were offered 600k a week each, but they said 'Nah, thanks, we love Stretford too much.'

Just to add, Luke Shaw was off to Real but found out there were no Greggs in Madrid, so he told them to stick their money.

& De Gea on KDB wages, Sancho not far behind

Have these not been sold yet?? This saga been going on longer than Dips wait for * only PL Title.....

Imminent, according to the net.

 

[foggy1974]

In other words, they buy players for massively inflated fees, give them ridiculous wages and long contracts, and can't get rid of them.

Wouldnt that be mercenaries, only there for the money

 

[foggy1974]

£100 million in all then ?

£90m after they've paid Maguire his £10m

Glorious isn't it

Ta. Let's see then how the narrative about 'state owned' and dirty oil money plays out in the enthralled red meedya...

Edit. I know the answer. Will be the most wholesome organic form of PL ownership ever in the history of the Worlds Greatest Club.

Oil Trafford.

I can’t wait.

Let the hypocritical cunts get a taste of their own medicine.

 

[Blueknows]

If Qatar take over they said they would clear the £600m dept. How can they do that if they can only spend £100m.

It's actually now 1 billion

Yea although the thing their new owners have going for them, is their impeccable human rights record. Treat their workers really well over there too!

 

[dubblue]

Then having a wealthy benefactor is not good for us at all. Just watch the spending rules get changed to allow a new owner to invest what they want for the first 5 years.

I’d happily piss on him after a session, he’s go up like a Saturn V rocket, the fat useless ****…!

More like the Hindenburg I'd have said... similar shape

Who really cares.....

 

[Aba452]

Apparently they've given up on their plan of signing Kane, but they are trying to get Mbappe.
When are these lot going to 'wake up and smell the coffee'?

Will mbappe be a happy bench warmer for sir st Marcus?!

I've got more chance of playing for the swampies, I'm smaller than their hobbit, got a wobbly gut, and I'll be honest with you, won't be doing any of that running malarkey! Also I'm 52 and have a bigger conk than Gonzo?!

Come to think of it, I'll wait by the phone......

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

It'll take them years to catch up to us. They have a lot of deadwood in their squad. They also have to compete with Newcastle and Chelsea. I'm not worried about them in the short term although I do think they'll be our closest challengers this season.

 

[remember arthur mann]

The chavs splashed the cash and won sweet FA.

We're not related, are we?

 

[kupest]

They can do whatever they want dont give a fuck. Either owner would be spending loads and its not like Glazers havn't been spending loads either.

 

[sd33]

if qatar will run united like psg then nobody in pl has to worry about them and its not like money was uniteds problem

Important to note that the co-director listed on the Holding Company is a director of the Qatar Investment Authority overseeing overseas investments, so the earlier claims that it was ‘not state funded’ have openly collapsed..
