United thread 2013/14

My only worry of a quick decline, is that the yankee shysters may sell to someone with real money.

Save Dave.

The £200m headline is just to keep the rag hordes happy, the fact they still believe it is hilarious, Lets just see how much of this £200m they actually spend. Tick Tock.

They ain't got 200 million to spend.Even if they have and do isn't that going to break FFP? First they have to attract the players,then pay off the agents and then there is the wage package,whittling the amount of players they can buy right down.

If they DO blow that kind of cash bang goes their myth of building slowly,the right way and bringing the youth players through.I spoke to a Birmingham fan on holiday,a sound guy and i was amazed that even he swallowed that claptrap,it just goes to show you how the media and their hype machine brainwash people.

If they spend it all in one go or spread it over a couple of transfer windows I can't see how they can come close to meeting FFP. Even accounting for the huge amount of cash that club generates and even discounting the repayments on their not inconsiderable debt, I would imagine the maximum they could spend each season is £90-£100 million net. However, the Glazers have never sanctioned anything like that kind of spending when Ferguson was manager so why anyone would think they'd give Moyes twice that is beyond me. Plus, as you say, surely those United fans that have slated City's spending would be dead against spending such vast sums of money. Wouldn't they????

Cannot see that happening tbh, as someone said earlier their net spend over the last 5 years is very similar to Stoke/Villa.

Wheres this 200mil nonsense coming from? I was quite enjoying the peace and quiet on Facebook from my raggy mates - I'm sure they'll pipe up now?

Someone at the club told sky sports news.Great bargaining position when people believe you have vast amounts of money to spend. Almost as funny as Moyes last season saying there was no budget. 200 million my arse sky sports becomes more like the scrum propaganda arm by the day, Brazil now spouting same crap on talk shite.

bollocks it is, didn't see either of those clubs spend 70m in transfers with a 140m wage bill in 2011

Me neither. I was just stating what I feel they could spend as an absolute maximum while still complying with FFP. I do feel they may make more funds available than usual as it's clear that their squad is in dire need of surgery but talk of £200 million or even half that is fanciful IMO.

The two hundred mill figure is just the fantasy of the Rag media dept released to the still Rag friendly media mates for them to regurgitate to plastic fans to keep them believing.

You only have to look at Rag Caff and the like to see how successful this is - they have spent the money already - despite the historical evidence none of them question the truth in all of this - they swallow the we have £100m to spend every summer lie even when they only actually spend £15 - 30m coz they as swallow the no value in the market story.

Gollum looks scared to death - he is out of his depth. Now he's moaning that they are having to play twice in a week - manager of a winning side doesn't fear that - he is doing the equivalent of the guy in debt sticking bills behind the clock on the mantlepiece - he'd rather they didn't play that way things don't get any worse......

GPC left the club in a mess then has the gall to turn up home and away like spirit haunting Gollum - the Rags have been through all this in the past - I am looking forwards to Gollum, as Sunderlands third goal crashes into their goal - turning round and just shouting at GPC - " Will you just fuck off " before being taken away and sectioned.........

They better get a move on, they only have just over 3 weeks to spend 200mill. :)

i am wondering what the ratio of players approached who decline will be ?
if united came calling up to 6 months ago players would be flattered and flock to them
now i wouldnt mind betting at least half of who get asked will say no thanks wait for a better offer !!
