@mattyb warned us. Some got too carried away.

I got fucking pelters for calling out our poor approach to transfers.

They cocked up hugely here. If Haaland ends up at a champs league group rival with Messi and Neymar and united got Ronaldo we seriously need to ask questions about how naive our people are.

Ronaldo was such a knee jerk move from the get go. As I said elsewhere if we wanted a short term fix, Dzeko was there for a pittance.

We aren’t in for Haaland who grew up a fan.

We walked from Messi only to go to Ronaldo after banking on Charlie Kane’s business ability.

Mbappe won’t even entertain us.

Frankly this is embarrassing. There’s never ever been this many elite strikers available and we aren’t getting a sniff.

Rumours again about Nuno Mendes. Sad thing is it's the source - usually very good - that an hour ago said Ronaldo was a done deal. They are honest, of that I'm sure. Something has gone on with Ronaldo / is going on with Ronaldo. Will see what they say later on today. They might have been sussed and used spectacularly. It eventually happens to every ITK with real sources.

Rags MIB probably turned up at his gates at the end of the drive. They have form for it ;)

I’ve been barred from the Ronaldo thread for “wumming”, so I apologise for upsetting people.

When I said yesterday there will be a few upset fanboys, it probably wasn’t the right way to go about it, but I’m not going to apologise for bringing the news that it wasn’t happening.

People get so upset on here when you bring news they don’t want to hear.

Personally I’m delighted we’re not bringing him to the club, my opinions on him are very clear. Undoubtedly one of the best talents we will ever watch, but he’s an arrogant piece of shit that in my eyes resembles everything United are, and everything we are not.

@tolmie's hairdoo @twosips Heard 2 whispers that actually we're not done. Any chance you can ask around?

as most big players do.

I hate it that we don't buy the players we need when we need them. We'd rather just wait and keep the squad we've got. But the problem with that is players get older and we end up needing to replace multiple positions at once. Next summer we'll still need a striker, we'll still need a defensive midfielder and we'll still need a left back. And then we'll have other players in their 30s who may need replacing.

By the time we get our act together the next version of FFP will be in place and we'll be completely stuck. Chelsea have got the right idea - they go for players who they can get and want to play for them.

my pure guess is that we'll probably get that mendes left back or something
