United Thread - 2021/22

[Falcao]

City - we are happy to offer £250,000 per week

Agent - that is acceptable to us

City - cool, so are we now on to sign it all up on paper and all that?

Agent - oh hang on I've just got a text saying that some daft cunts are willing to offer him £500,000 per week, are you still interested? Can you match that or maybe better it?

City - nah, mate, we're walking away

Agent - ok


Not too hard to get your head round is it? But like you say, the truth doesn't really matter, just the outcome.

Funny you mentioning a player from yesteryear 'cause I sincerely hope that he turns out to un*t*d's Rodney Marsh ;)

Whenever we sign a player the stock response is to say they are on at least 400k a week. Well here’s Ballbag who sucks up to Pep constantly and always takes digs at United saying he’s actually halving his wages

I know the football media in this country is fucking useless, but how could they have been so wrong about City apparently on the verge of signing the fake one?

Unless it was a strategy, by us, similar to the ones for the piano player and wrong said Fred…

Another bullet dodged lads!
As you were.

Yea but what striker would you have gone for? No chance we are paying 200mil for one. The issue with city now is people just demand stupid prices from us because of the amount of money we have. It was either Kane or Haaland and we we're not gonna pay what was asked. Any other striker we would have gone for would have probably been no better than Torres, Jesus or Delap.

Even Danny Ings would’ve been an improvement on our current options

How big is Ronaldo's paycut? I imagine he's being paid a pittance. Since only "oil clubs" distort the market, I'm sure Man U, who only spend what they "earn" are paying him very modestly.

We need to put £50 million bid in for tom cleverley

And to think over 3/4 of voters wanted the rag ....

it's not really a binary question though is it?

Yes, because...
Yes, if....
Not really, but...
No, but...
No.

?

Glad we didn't sign him. I genuinely couldn't give a f*ck

The only thing that is going to annoy me is the likes of Camel Gob gloating like a 5 year-old and other pundits wanking themselves into a frenzy because they think we care.

Plus, at around 500k a week..... for a 36 year old. Just remind me who is ruining football again?

I'll give you a clue... It's the debt riddle wankers from Stretford.

i remember ferdinand gloating about oles winning start when he was caretaker manager, that went well :)

And isn't there a proposal to replace FFP with a wage cap?

Looks like that will be delayed for a couple of years then.

With Ronaldo, maybe Ole can finally win the Europa league.

Even Danny Ings would’ve been an improvement on our current options

Yea true, I'd rather someone better in the air though like Lewandowski no chance Bayern will sell him to us though lol
