United Thread - 2021/22

[Blue and still suffering]

So the Rags are sending out players on loan which cost the likes of Martial £50m, Van De Beek £40m and Diallo £37m...Not a word being said about it.

Imagine if we were sending out players loan that we bought for £50m! The media would have us hung out to dry along with Sky, BT ect

Shit Rag bastards.

That's because it's the only way they can move these players off the books. Who was the last player United bought who increased in value when they sold him, the only one I can think of is Ronaldo in 2009. They certainly won't get their money back on the Fridge, Shaw, Wan Bissaka, Fred, Pogba or even Sancho.
People moan about Tixi but both the Sane and Torres deals made a profit and apart from Grealish, which wouldn't be all his fault, we would, at least, break even on the majority of our current squad.

Gazza says hi.

Almost forgotten that one. Cup final against Forest wasn't It? All the world watching him do those tackles. He did and does have real medical problems unlike at those who seem to follow a fashion nowadays.
He wasn't so mental as to try tackles like that Piercey on the other flank.

Jason Manford walked on to stage this evening, and someone in the audience shouted, "*n*t*d"

Manford replied, "Oi! I'll do the jokes, son!"

General consensus is he was bought because Pogba was expected to go, Ole actually wanted Grealish but the club gave him Van de Beek. It seems Rangnick has now given his blessing for Van de Beek to go on loan so can only wish him well.

But Pogba is going so Van de Beek can take his place...... As I say, you do no checks and have no system, you just buy someone. Anyone.
If we had bought Sancho and sat him on the bench we would have been slaughtered by the media for destroying England's golden boy.

Talking about Best, I didn't know until last week that he'd 'Butchered' another player.


Tellingly, Harkouk's most vivid memory of his Palace career is not one of the many highs but the low of seeing team-mate Ian Evans suffer a broken leg against Fulham. In part, that's because of the identity of the culprit, the Manchester United legend Best. Palace supporters of a certain vintage still recall Harkouk's extraordinary reaction to the challenge.

"It was a karate kick," says Harkouk. "He came in sideways about a foot off the ground and practically snapped his leg clean off. The reason why it is so vivid in my memory is that when I looked down at Ian Evans' foot, it was in his crotch, that's how bad the tackle was. George just looked down with no emotions whatsoever. When I saw that, I just flew for him."

Sorry but that is an appaling opening paragraph.
Glynn Pardoe was lucky he didn't have to have his leg amputated after the drunken shit fouled him. He was out injured for 2 years and was never the same.
Know your history.

Martial was in 2015 when he was 19! That £50 million must be £100 million in todays fees.

Phil Jones (aka stan laurel) now linked with a loan to Bordeaux.

MEN did an article today about the relative values of the City, Utd and Liverpool squads

Utds has dropped considerably Vs the purchase price

Liverpool's squad is worth virtually the same

City's has increased 25%

City's recruitment has been top notch
Players should soon start to see Utd as a place where careers die
