United thread 2019/20

I know it's the Daily Fail but I wonder if they are on to something and if so it may explain why the vermin are buying shit British players https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...et-English-Football-League-talent-Brexit.html

Hell you must have been typing that as I posted it. If this happens the rags have a head start (still got a shit manager though) so you must wonder if they have planned this and with who.

The United Way.

Not a single word about distorting and pushing up the transfer market.

If true, how much will Ole have spent to secure another top PL 6-10 finish next season?

Manchester United 'planning £160m swoop for Jack Grealish AND James Maddison' as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to bolster attacking options at Old Trafford

Anyone getting suspicious of why they are buying mostly English footballers? Could it be that in the near future there will be a law from FA saying teams have to have a certain amount of English players in all prem league teams?

Just seen an earlier post alluding to the same thing

I'd hazard a guess that they are buying English players because the stellar names in Europe have zero interest in going to utd.
As simple as that.

Yes, it's difficult to imagine that the FA have only advised one club what their plans are.

Yes, it’s not like David Gill would have any input or be privy to any plans and go on to mention it to one particular club is it , lol !

All clubs will know that the rules are likely to change due to Brexit, and how they are likely to change won't be much of a surprise to anyone. The idea that the FA would brief one club is pretty ludicrous.

If Utd want to blow a huge amount on Grealish and Maddison, they still won't have a proper centre forward or right wing, will have yet another left side attacker, and will have to offload some biggish names; Maddison would help their team though. It's agent talk because there is no actual football to report.

Indeed, fair point.
