Did Lacazette say he loved the club and was looking forward to the new season?If United are losing Di Maria and we land KDB because of it, it makes United/Pedro make sense. Cavani has to stay if Zlatan leaves and Lacazette said in plain language he is staying at Lyon yesterday.
Cough.. Delph.. cough...If United are losing Di Maria and we land KDB because of it, it makes United/Pedro make sense. Cavani has to stay if Zlatan leaves and Lacazette said in plain language he is staying at Lyon yesterday.
Lets put a huge bid in for him, one they can't turn down.
You should have that looked at mate.Cough.. Delph.. cough...
They've completely fucked up, buying people with varying styles, no cohesive structure based upon their FIFA rating.
In fact their transfer policy has been a joke for a good 3 years now and the brighter footy neutrals have been blogging about it for a while
To be fair, when they purchase Di Maria and Falcao many of us thought the same thing. @Damocles is right, they have a recent pattern of over paying for either players that are well beyond their sell-by date or do not fit their philosophy.They'll be stronger than they were last season I think. Obviously that's inevitable when you throw huge amounts of money at a problem; some of those signings will prove successful. I think the notion that they are run by fucking idiots is, sadly, fanciful though.
Agree with you Ric their demise was short lived we needed the scum to miss out on top 4 again for them to really be damaged.They'll be stronger than they were last season I think.

Who gives a flying fug we will give them 2 beatings and win the title gonna be a great season i also think delph is a better player than many realise he will give us energy and we will be quicker going forward.Agree with you Ric their demise was short lived we needed the scum to miss out on top 4 again for them to really be damaged.
I'm not so sure when it comes to the big signings. Valdez, Falcao, and Di Maria were significant failures last year, I can see the german following the same route, and if Real really want De Gea they'll get him eventually, as he wants to go. There's another 6 weeks yet, but I'm not convinced they'll be significantly better off, if we get all our targets, they won't be challenging us.They'll be stronger than they were last season I think.

Very delphish of you!Did Lacazette say he loved the club and was looking forward to the new season?

I disagree. If we ignore the narrative for a minute:
United have appointed a great accountant into their CEO position who is responsible for all departments in the club.
During this time they have bought Blind and Rojo, both World Cup stars, Herrera who was a long term acquisition, then Di Maria, Falcao, Shaw, Depay, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin.
This is hard to describe but take out the WC stars of Blind and Rojo then long term Herrera. Di Maria wouldn't have fit United if they paid 500 million for him. Falcao the same, Shaw is a much better United signing and have no issue with, Depay alright, Schweinsteiger laughable and Schnedierlin unproven.
Manchester United built a very particular brand which allowed them to dominate. They have abandoned this and they don't seem to know why their star purchases aren't working and fans are becoming far less interested.
United has a squad built off of an ideal on how to play, a bit like Barca. It doesn't matter how good the players are if they are lost on the pitch.
Have this conversation a lot with the United lads and they are circling the drain, snapping up any vaguely familiar players that they can
Do you think they'll do better or worse than last season?
