United thread 2019/20

Why would Erikson leave spurs for Utd? Leave spurs I get but for Utd? In seven days they’ve apparently signed, according to sky, Dybala, Mandzukic, Fernandes and now Erikson. Joke shop

Must still have tickets to shift, straight out of the Levy play book.

Cough cough cough cough....

Stone, BBC:
"Manchester United have called a halt to talks over the potential signing of Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen because they believe he would prefer a move to Spain."

Headlines made. Prattle prattled. Bullshit revealed.

This puts paid to the adage that players will go where ever they're paid the most. Bullshit.

Like many industries, ambition and success is king. Sure, money will lure some, particularly at certain stages in their careers. Generally speaking though, top players in or around their prime largely want to be associated with a club that has the biggest chance of winning - something that tends to be forgotten in the contemporary game sometimes.

Hey,who's that miserable little bloke playing the piano?

So basically they've gone for Eriksen just to say they tried to do something. Most of their fans will buy it hook line and sinker.

‘When Ed said ‘think of a number’, I didn’t realise he was having a Johnny Ball childhood flashback, and not what I should ask for!’

They don't look like they've added many goals with their new transfers....
