The problem is that they only have to improve their record against the lesser sides to compete with us and every top signing they make gives them a better chance of doing so.

I agree that his first season has been massively overrated by the EL win which must surely have been the easiest run in history but they are still our closest challengers this season and have improved.

Yeah closest rivals, but we’re streaks ahead of them. We’re a few signings away from being a complete team, if we’re not already now. We’ve got the manager and squad, I doubt they’ve got either.

Pogba - No footballing brain, more interested in popularity than football will never be one of the best.
Matic - A shadow of his former self
Lukaku - A flat track bully, literally cannot score against a top 6 team if his life depended on it
Martial - Shit
Valencia - Older than time itself
De gea - Overrated camera pleasure with a fucking stupid top knot.
Rashford - Over hyped shit.

I know it's hard for people but they really shouldn't believe someone is good just because they're told to. The only reason people should be "afraid" of united is because they're lucky fucks constantly punching above their weight.

We will have to agree to disagree then as I see a team of good players who are simply underperforming.

Which is a valid point.

However, I'd much rather them spunk £100+ million on an import who will be a risk than signing a proven top class PL player at a bargain price.

Honestly I don't mean this to be offensive but your hatred for MUFC completely blinds you of reality...

Pogba is immense when he's "on" but he was probably overpriced.
Matic was an excellent signing.
Lukaku I agree with you.
Martial is an excellent prospect and already very decent.
Valencia is a not amazing I agree.
De Dea is among the top 5 keepers in the world now.
Rashford is also a very good prospect.

Pogba, Matic, Lukaku, Martial, Valencia, De Gea and Rashford are all very good footballers. Add Sanchez to the mix and they have got a very good attack. They might not have the skill and fluidity that ours have, however they have the physicality that we don't.

Despite our dominance with the ball against United, in our 3 PL meeting with Pep and Mourinho in charge, they have been close affairs. They could have easily have snatched a draw at OT if Lukaku didn't have a mare.

Like others have pointed out, we are also going to strengthen and look to further the gap. But I'm not just going to ignore what they are capable of.

I am not ignoring what they're capable of. You are ignoring what they are actually producing, and have produced for 4-5 years since Purple Nose departed.

They are in organizational shambles, just like a huge company whose megalomaniac, autocratic founding CEO departs leaving no management infrastructure in his wake.

I've posted this multiple times on the rag thread. I said it the day he retired. It is going to take them YEARS to catch up to us structurally. YEARS.

Quite likely true. I’ll never blame a player for taking the better money though. Short careers with a lot of risk that injury shortens it further.

Well again, if it was just 'taking the money' imo that would be a poor choice, but if he has an agreement with City as reported, & all is working perfectly to plan, Arsenal are signing a replacement, as agreed with City, then he reneges on the deal, for money, he is a ****.

Personally, I'd rather them have Sanchez and we have a younger top-class player, than the other way round.

Sanchez seems to have been in decline so far this season, though they may be due to unhappiness at Arsenal.

I'd be happy enough if we got him, but wouldn't be too bothered if we missed out.
 
Txiki has to analyze what went wrong here and with the Alves deal in the summer.

Also what happened with Alexis deal in the summer when we were ready to throw much more money at this transfer.

These romantic bullshit that players wanna come and play for Pep is nice but they want it to be backed up by overinflated transfer prices and wages and bonuses etc.

Alexis ending up at the closest rival is a shit situation we can deal with it this season as we have a huge lead.

Txiki seems to be ready to make a stand to greedy agents but he needs to be ruthless when next time he tries to offload players and accepts loans with us playing salaries again.

Chelsea is a master of it, they got huge deal from Diego Costa sale who had horrible problem with Conte asnt coming back for training etc, yet they got great fee for him. If it us Costa probably would have been left for free like Nasri, Tevez...

We are going to deliver the title this season and we have to go out in the summer and improve the team big time. Simply by finishing the misery of Kompany, someone brought in as new Fernandinho and looking deeply to fin the new Aguero as well, also a left back for Mendy to rotate with.

Now save the money on Alexis and Evans imo, and try to think ahead for summer window.
