Yer man Cundy reckons the Rags have got a deal here and Mount was one of Chelsea's best a year ago. Another £80m signing for £40m type of talk if you get my drift - they've got a bargain.

Everyone to trying to big him up are having to dine out on a pass he made against us in the CL final

If you have to refer to one assist two years ago as the main point to hype up a player, he probably isn't that good..

For £60m, you should be able to point to some very consistent form in the last couple of years, not a single pass 2 years ago.

Plus if Rodri or Fernandinho had been playing that pass couldnt have been made

I’m trying to think of a word that could replace the last word in the headline. Nothing comes to mind. Any ideas?

 

[freshie]

Hahahahaha

 

[manimanc]

Hahahahaha

This is puzzling me.

FFP and the rags have never been in the same sentence but lately there is no separating it.

Has the press finally twigged the real corruption lies in Salford?

All That Crass?

Yep, looks like they've fallen into a Trapp.

Various on here have been saying this for most of this year.

They have diddly room to spend, after spunking most of THIS year's money on LAST year's Casemiro and Antony.

It's finally dawned on some of the media that this is the reality of united now. They've blown most of the budget on Mount, can't offload anyone, so can't actually buy anyone new.

Their revolving credit line, has been taking a hammering, (and is eye-watering interest rates ... now) this year and last. By next year they'll have maxxed it out. They are so lucky (waves at PGMOL) to get the CL money next year.

God... the media are so useless, all this could have been written about 6 months (or more) ago, as it was obvious to anyone with even a modicum of talent, financial understanding, or lack of blinkered bias.

I don’t have a mortgage anymore as it’s paid off so apologies to those that have.

God bless the interest rate deciders!

Find it hilarious that Gill and Co along with their redtop friends implemented a rule to evict their noisy neighbours only to find that very rule a few years later has stopped them.collecting rent and allowed their neighbour to become the landlord and buy up the whole fucking town

Great analogy.

Again, nothing (apart from MS) from the media... phrases like:
'FFP is anything but, and was introduced at the behest of the 'cartel/G14' to hinder City and any other club gaining investment'
&
'It's satisfying that a monopolistic artificial construct, FFP, has now turned on the very clubs that pushed it'

Should be everywhere

Why whats happening in Salford ?


IT'S STRETFORD. THEY ARE IN STRETFORD

They're all crying online at the.mo and can't understand why they are skint lol

In the words of the Immortal Bard:

'For 'tis the sport to have the engineer
Hoist with his own petard.'

In other words, if you piss into the wind, don't be surprised if some of it sprays back on you.

Often wondered what that meant.

Often wondered what that meant.

In simple English, it means the (military) engineer is blown up by the bomb he has tried to install.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Something tells me the Glazers are hiding behind an exaggerated ffp narrative & just don’t want to spend a penny more than the £100M (which isn’t chicken feed) fancy buying Mount and blowing most of your budget when you need a striker & keeper. Can’t wait for the rag supporters to start asking for ‘Levers’

They'll end up blaming UMS but, just wait until one of them finds out a new owner can spend spend spend.

Herds of Zebras with green n yellow scarves will be everywhere.

They all thought the rules would stop us and then FFP could be binned but, it's last chance throw of the dice with these 115+ charges. If we get through that they & all the red shirts know it's game over for them.
