Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Coatigan]

In those seasons did we have players in a similar position to Rico and Oscar that didn't count? Rico played 1600 minutes last season, and Bobb (who is nearly 18 months older than Rico) played 800 and was probably our best player on the pre-season tour.

Add in that we've got even more flexibility in the defence, now that four of the CBs regularly play RB/LB, is it really an issue?

Yes. Foden for one.

I'm not saying it is an issue. I'm just saying it would be a first.

 

[HolisticJim]

Not sure what's he's whinging about.
So firstly we're not allowed to spend our own money because it's not grown in a natural way.

Then we buy a cheap striker who goes on to win everything but we've 'got to have our wings clipped' because we shouldn't be able to sell him for £80m.

I mean, what utter twaddle.

It is called good scouting and good business Mark. It isn't our fault the club you support isn't good at that.

He is not even hating .

He's just pandeting to the fuckwits who watch him, you can manipulate most rag clowns because they are as numb as a piss stone.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

United buy mid-career players for top price, make them worse, and then don't move them on when it's clear it won't work out. And now their fan-trolls are giving us shit for buying potential, making them better, and striking when the iron is hot. Dear. Me.

Arseblog - which at one time was a decent and funny author - had a similar whinge, claiming the fee is dodgy.

Not sure what world they live in tbh - Liverpool sold Coutinho for £105m in 2018. Did anyone allude that was dodgy? Alvarez is a WC winner with a load of goals & assists for the treble winners and current Club World Champions.

It's was 142m Coutinho was sold for oh and Liverpool new about the kid from hacking our database

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Not yet but... He wasnt that good anyway

This made me chuckle

 

[SWPISHOME]

I'd love to give him a punch straight into the throat, When is his balls going to drop so he stops talking like a fucking 9 year old.

 

[bluenova]

Yes. Foden for one.

Foden was the only one I could think of. He's 24 now, so not for the last couple of seasons.

Agree it's unusual. It does seem like there's not much transfer activity happening yet - wonder if it'll kick in a bit later than usual. It seems amazing that we're going into the Community Shield with most of the first team players not having had any pre-season games too.

The question the demented **** should be asking is who would pay £80 million plus for Antony, Sancho, Pogbad etc

 

[Withnail]

Rico and Bobb are both players I think Pep would be happy to rely upon next season so perhaps skew the numbers slightly. I would be shocked if we weren't still looking at opportunities though. Akanji came from nowhere iirc and at a steal too, might be some desperation at the end of the window that helps us find a deal. I would imagine Pep is quite happy with attacking options in spite of Alvarez leaving. It feels like we need someone in the middle of the park more than anywhere else.

I think most us can agree that Rodders needs more rest this season, perhaps a move for Kimmich or Wharton.

And he's a "bench player" who happened to play more minutes than all but three of United's outfield players.

They got nowhere near that fee. I don’t think he made a single add on.

Exactly!

He's going on like "Manchester City are so far ahead of everyone else, It's a joke" bla bla bla

It's not our fault the Rags and the majority of the league spend their money on absolute shite.

As you said "Why isn't he questioning the signings of Sancho and Antony ect", Because he carries on like a little spoiled entitled brat because his shitty club are miles off Manchester City!

Cockeyed prick.

The rags like the letting them go on a free and buying for 90 mill model

Bit harsh that, Credit were it's due, They signed an £80m pound player for £40m before.

 

[ElMago_DSilva]

I think you may be right but in my opinion we need to sign an able deputy to provide cover for Rodri

Name me options in the market that are realistic that can be able deputy's to Rodri?
