They’ve already got better than Mount in their squad with Erikson and Fernandes. I suppose it strengthens up their attacking midfield options however they need a striker and they’ve potentially blown £60 million of their overall £100 million budget. I don’t see them recouping much on out goings neither.

All the while the rest of the teams around them spend and improve. They need to get off to a good start otherwise the natives could be getting restless.
 
According to the BBC United, having paid over the odds for Mount, a player with a prominent image and a good long range shot, have now asked De Gea not to join another club "in case they can't find another keeper within their budget". Their dealings are seriously odd, or (and I've just thought of this) is it that they have an endearing openness, a childlike naivety with nothing hidden? Or maybe the BBC, quoting The Sun, have got it all wrong.
 
I know it's only The Sun but, the state of them....

Manchester United have asked 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea, whose contract at Old Trafford has just expired, not to join another club in case they cannot find a new keeper within their transfer budget. (Sun)

Mount us average but I'd say his slightly better than Erikson due to his fitness.
And Fernandes is simply a ****

One of my mates is a rag and was telling one of his fellow rags what a great signing Mount would be yesterday. I had to stay silent and not wade into the debate, I’d be desperately disappointed if City were in for players of that ilk, we all remember the Euros where Southgate was obsessed with starting him he would do nothing and then Grealish would come on and change a game.

I can't help thinking that Mason Mount is made for United. Overrated, thanks to a very occasional flash of brilliance, though not last season, when he was "missing." A poser, who fancies himself, and fancied equally by Southgate; one of his favourites - despite never having been looked upon as a game-changer.

Yet another "show pony" who'll be a flat track bully, no doubt, but I don't see how he really improves them. He's just more of the same. He couldn't get a game at Chelsea as their season went on, and - for an attacking midfielder - he scored 3 goals.

£55 million for a player they definitely don't need. Another attacking midfielder! I like this piece of business.

Welcome to Salford, Mason; home of the red devil posers. Otherwise known as The Scum.

He hasn't gone to SALFORD.

I have just seen this. It’s a twist on the Jilted John song.
So Dave we know you’re not coming back but, can we say you’re still our goalie cos if you don’t we’ll be so upset and cry all the way to the chip shop.

If I was de Gea I would have signed for another club today.

There's always been something very strange with de gea & the rags going on...remember when he'd been sold to Madrid and then due to a fax machine he wasn't?

When the Rags last won the one in the middle, people still had MySpace and Bebo accounts, but as for all of these in one season the last time they did it...... People used message board forums to communicate and used dial-up internet.

As for the Prem..... people were back then still going on about how London 2012 brought the nation together, although I didn't feel any excitement myself over it.

FA Cup?. Well.... nothing worthy of noting that is now a relic. Definitely the only team to sack their manager after winning it. Only at Rags United.

Well, as a brand they're relics and nobody uses dialup anymore. Message boards are still around, like this one but Facebook which made Bebo and MySpace relics, have made them less common, what with Facebook groups taking over.

I can only name messageboard forums these days that are dedicated to football teams. Back in the day they were everywhere and even bands had them known as Fan Forums, now they are virtually extinct and it's all Facebook now for fan communication.

This is the only forum I now use, back in the day I was on loads for bands, music discussion etc. Many have closed down thanks to Facebook Groups, like the official Reading/Leeds Festivals forums and Glastonbury Forums.

They're not quite relics come to think of it, just near extinction. It's only really when it comes to football discussion and car advice forums they are still going strong.

Dial-up internet though.... who still uses that?.

Bearing in mind, from today, he isn't being paid by the rags, I'd say I want, in writing, a monthly contract of xxx.
All the while telling my agent to find a club.

Rags are unbearable fans aren’t they?

In our group chat our rag mate didn’t mention the treble once. We even posted a pic of ourselves at the CL final thinking he’d post something like ‘have fun lads but not too much fun!’ but he even blanked that from his two closest mates.

Last night after weeks of silence, he posts that article about the FFP case. Had to stop myself going off on one to be honest.

Don't berate him.

Pity him.

For most of the rag fans I've known over the years it hasn't been about the love of football or the competitive spirit of the game.

It's been all about winning, backing the right horse and attaching themselves to something that resembles success.

What's happened to your mate on the WhatsApp group is that he's essentially had his toys snatched away and his arse slapped in the process.

He's now (like a lot of other rags) throwing a tantrum because his security blanket is not only in the 'over night wash' It's been thrown in the bin.

Why do you think we get such dog shit coverage from the media. It's because most of them are of a red persuasion.

I wouldn't delete him from the WhatsApp group. I'd be uploading more photos of the trophies with the caption "wish you were here."
