I am suprised they are going to spunk 50 million on Di Maria as good a player as he is,when it is glaringly obvious they need a couple of defenders and a holding midfielder at least.The thing is any top class player who signs for them is taking a huge gamble as a major rebuilding job is underway with no guarantee it will be successful.

Much as a lot of fans think the champions league is on the whole tosh,players set great stall by it and for a top player to miss one season with no certainty they will play in it next season either is definately signing for the money.Who would have thought it eh,mecenary's only going to the biggest,bestest football club ever for the wonga,ahh how times change,lol!!

Di Maria is a great player, and will do well in the PL, but this is nothing but a panic buy to shut the media and fans up. Going forward there are still plenty of attacking options at utd, but can you see any clubs selling their best central defenders or midfielders now that the season has already kicked off. No chance. The same mistakes have been made for 2 summers on the bounce, waiting for a new manager to come in only weeks before the season kicks off, sidetrack him with a global tour and loads of injuries and expect them to produce the goods or provide suggestions for appropriate transfers. The business should have been done before the World cup and not lastminute.com

Doesn't really matter if Hummels and Vidal turned up tomorrow. Nobody joins the PL and hits the ground running. You need at least a season to get used to the pace and aggression of the PL.

Negredo, Aguero and Fernando would strongly disagree with you.

Fatboy and his Homies out on the town, mmmm wonder which street.

God, let's just say it: that's an incredibly camp looking photo.
Each to their own and all the rest of it but that does look really camp.

the geezer on the left looks like a younger Joe Hart

'Geezer'?!!

To be honest they shouldn't be looking at anything other than defenders..Di Maria is not what they need..their back line is shocking

Vankers.

Are the rumours really true that touche turtle will walk at the end of the week?
It's funny because during his post match interview something struck me that he wasn't comfortable with himself, and this is a man who loves his own company, he seemed to think fuck me what have I got myself Into here.
Yep only 1 game in and lots of football to play but the players there have form for downing tools.
Next two games aren't exactly bankers either....
Vantastic.

Poolis being tapped up as we speak to take over. They see his relegation record as a positive for the role.

Agree, let them spunk all their cash on a marquee signing and ignore the glaringly obvious terminal problem at the back and in the centre. it's like a women being told she needs to have a breast removed because of cancer but going and getting norks enlarged instead....baffling.

what about Jovetic, Kolorov, Dzeko, Silva, Zabaleta and Demichelis? None of them started off particularly well.

But you said nobody, and he named three players straight away.

Anybody else have a sense of satisfaction that the rags are trying to (or need to try to) buy the title this year?

I find it hilarious.

What happened to all the youngsters they have groomed since birth to be champions? To win it the "right" way?

Ah that's right, they're shit.
