Nope, most definitely just you, and tbh I'll be pissed if it's only £200mil, I want nearer £300mil.Its probably just me (and mostly because I'm a bit of an old fogey) but isn't anyone else slightly uncomfortable that we're heading towards spending 200m on players this summer? I know the money the PL has and us in particular inflates the costs but the romantic in me still would like to see us develop some of our own talent rather than just buy others.

By the end of the summer it's quite likely that United have the 3 most expensive players in history in their team.
I don't give a flying fuck if we spend £300m, and the cost of the starting 11 doesn't really effect us developing players either.

I agree with you. £200 million is nowhere near enough - £400 million should do it though.

It does when we are still looking to get some of our biggest misses off the books at the moment, Mangala was going to solve our centre half problems 3 seasons ago and Boney looked like good business at the time. How wrong we were, then we have the likes of Nolito who rocked up for one season and is being bombed out and Bravo who was the key to our footballing philosophy and then dropped half way through the season for Willy.
We seem to turn over a high amount of players to get where we need to be in solving our problems then go back to the tried and trusted ones who have been doing the job for the last 6 seasons.

Ok just me :)

Yeah I mean, we weren't developing them before this summer anyway..Loan out and then sell is what our academy is for
The gap between 1st team and academy is too big. We are developing top players but they will probably go elsewhereIts probably just me (and mostly because I'm a bit of an old fogey) but isn't anyone else slightly uncomfortable that we're heading towards spending 200m on players this summer?
