The bit I find weirdest is their obsession with us buying defenders, as if that is somehow different to buying attackers and not allowed? They bring it up all the time, it's properly weird. Their defence wasn't exactly cheap either, but why on earth would you differentiate between what position you spent money on? It's really odd
Di Maria, £59.7m for 32 games; Depay, still only 27 and only played 53 games for them; Lukaku, £75m (plus £15m add-ons) for 96 games and he’s still only 27; Sanchez, £30.6m and £350k/week (which they were still paying him for a year while he was at Inter) for 45 games.Lmao they spend as much as we do, difference is they buy guys like Maguire, Wan Bissaka, Pogba and countless other duds, the Lisbon rat is the only big money signing that's worked for them since Ferguson left. look at Chelsea too, how much did they spend on Kepa, Werner, Ziyech, Havertz ? we just spend smarter. sorry about that rags, dippers, and every other moaning fucker.
Our current first choice back four (Cancelo Dias Stones Zinchenko) cost £171.54m, whereas United’s (WanBissaka Maguire Lindeloff Shaw) cost £193.05m.The bit I find weirdest is their obsession with us buying defenders, as if that is somehow different to buying attackers and not allowed?

Youre forgetting “give it to giggseh”. So 5Di Maria, £59.7m for 32 games; Depay, still only 27 and only played 53 games for them; Lukaku, £75m (plus £15m add-ons) for 96 games and he’s still only 27; Sanchez, £30.6m and £350k/week (which they were still paying him for a year while he was at Inter) for 45 games.
They were all good players. A good management team would have integrated them into their squad and kept hold of them. They might moan less about how “big” City’s squad is if they’d been running their squad properly.
But United are a sacking club now and they’ve not found a management team good enough to integrate them in their, what is it?, four managers since Ferguson left?
Also it really does have to be mentioned that our current back for only cost £171m due to incredibly obvious figure fudging, unless we are really supposed to believe Benfica paid £20m for Otamendi and Juve paid £30m for Danilo. Valuing Otamendi at even £5m is probably generous, while Danilo probably wouldn't have had any takers at £20m.Our current first choice back four (Cancelo Dias Stones Zinchenko) cost £171.54m, whereas United’s (WanBissaka Maguire Lindeloff Shaw) cost £193.05m.
Yes, we’ve got another £58m defender on the bench n’all in Laporte. But if United stopped wasting money on the likes of Di Maria, Depay, Lukaku, Sanchez, (and you could bring in Maguire and Pogba to the conversation for overinflated wasted money n’all!) for a total in transfer fees of ~£380m!, they’d have the opportunity to buy eight £47.5m players to get some strength in depth!
Sanchez is on closer to 600k a week when you factor in the signing on fee that was built into his weekly wage. For 4.5 years, On a 29yr old, that they spent 35m signing.Di Maria, £59.7m for 32 games; Depay, still only 27 and only played 53 games for them; Lukaku, £75m (plus £15m add-ons) for 96 games and he’s still only 27; Sanchez, £30.6m and £350k/week (which they were still paying him for a year while he was at Inter) for 45 games.

And spent around £50 million paying off the contracts of their failed managers. Could have bought another Wan Bissaka with that money.Di Maria, £59.7m for 32 games; Depay, still only 27 and only played 53 games for them; Lukaku, £75m (plus £15m add-ons) for 96 games and he’s still only 27; Sanchez, £30.6m and £350k/week (which they were still paying him for a year while he was at Inter) for 45 games.
