Guys.. this is fecking Pedro. He's not Messi. Average player at best. Who really gives a crap, we haven't missed out on much here. Get over it ffs, honestly glad he has gone to Chelsea (if that is the case) instead of signing here. I would honestly rather Young in the front 3 than Pedro


Hats off to whichever blue this is on Ragcafe. Perfect wind up

'Although Mane wouldn't have been on my list of potential signings at the beginning of the window I feel he could add a lot to the side and surprise quite a few. I have to be honest and say I was never overly keen on Pedro and feel a more success hungry player would do us good.'

Comedy gold...both username and comment.
 
Sterling, Delph, Roberts, Ünal, Otamendi (probably), KdB (possibly).

Bale, Ronaldo, Ramos, Otamendi, Pedro.

What a brilliant - and hilarious - window this has been so far.

He! He!
 
Ring, ring! Hello....... is that Real Madrid? It's Ed Woodward here but you can just call me Eddie...
Ring, ring! Hello........is that Barcelona? It's Ed Woodward here but u can just call me Eddie.....

Yes, we know who it is, now be a good lad, wipe your fanny and fuck off.
 
Ring, ring! Hello.....is that Bayern München? It's Ed Woodward here but you can just call me Eddie....
By any chance do you have anyone clearly passed his best, who has hardly played the last 3 seasons, has a face like a lizards **** and is in the last year of his contract?
Absolutely Eddie. Step this way, drop your pants, lube up and be prepared for Karl Heinz's and der Kaiser's double bratwürst.
 
Wow my boss upset tonight. He said funny that Pedro stuff ain't it? I said why? He said well LVG telling Edward to pull out so far down the line. He said how good did Depay look last night so I replied ye not bad but it was against a Championship side. He said he can see rags signing Benzema and Real will replace him with Aguero haha.
 
Quick browse of Rag Cafe earlier and I stumbled across the Harry Kane thread - some of them were saying they'd swap him for the granny shagger. Now I know Kane is 7 or 8 years younger but has Rooney regressed that much? I know he hasn't done anything in the striker role this season but I still see him as one of their most dangerous players.

Manchester United like to label themselves as the biggest club in the world - this does not seem to be a view shared by the many elite players in the current era.

Under Sir Alex Ferguson, ably assisted by David Gill, United had an excellent success rate in pulling off the big deals when they needed them. There were occasional misses, such as when United could not close a deal for Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho, but plenty of hits too.

Since Ferguson's departure, and Gill's replacement with Woodward, United's interest is no guarantee of getting a deal over the line.

Pedro may not have actually been a priority signing but it will be a blow to United's giant ego and profile that it will be perceived he has snubbed them for Premier League rivals Chelsea - a fate they appear likely to suffer even more starkly if long-time defensive target Nicolas Otamendi moves from Valencia to Manchester City as expected.

It also appears United were the collateral damage for Premier League champions Chelsea's painful start to the season, the instant reaction to Sunday's 3-0 loss at Manchester City being the deal to sign Pedro.

This all comes hard on the heels of the lengthy courting of Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos, who was first the subject of a £28m offer that had no chance of being accepted, then a potential exchange with goalkeeperDavid de Gea.

The suspicion among outsiders was that United were simply being strung along before the Spain defender signed a lucrative new deal at the Bernabeu - suspicions confirmed when he signed a five-year contract.

It was a pattern that first emerged when David Moyes succeeded Ferguson as manager and proposed deals for Everton's Leighton Baines, Cesc Fabregas (who moved from Barcelona to Chelsea) and another former Barcelona player Thiago Alcantara, who went to Bayern Munich, were among those that failed to materialise.

For all United's global fanbase, their mixed recent transfer record is proof that they are now back among the pack when it comes to the world's top clubs, even when it comes to competing with domestic rivals such as Chelsea and Manchester City.

It may be a tough message to take - but one that is supported by hard evidence.
