United Thread - 2021/22

[Grassland Blue]

“Glazers Out” trending again! Any other club and I’d feel sorry for them, not this absolute shower though.

Where do they find the money from to buy these players?

Precisely, maybe the Class of 92 that shower could take over. I don’t want to gloat too much, remembering Karma and the fact we’ve got one wandering about with a tag on, but it just feels like all the chickens are coming home to roost.

if they don’t get top 4 Ronaldo will probably go too

Where would he go? Who would want to / afford to stump up the wages?

reckon he’d go to MLS.

Noway he’s doing a year in the Europa, ego is too big

Can we all just point and laugh?

United have a lot of players who’ll be gone now or in summer

Matic, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Van Debeek, Martial, Greenwood, Cavani

that’s a hell of a lot of departures

Lower end of the market for a player is £50 million now maybe and then you are looking at £100 million for players like Grealish and Lukaku. Going with the lower estimate they are looking at £400 million to replace that lot, can you see them doing that in one window plus wages? They will have to go to the youth team and get creative in the market otherwise the squad depth drops and more importantly the quality drops off.

Unlikely that he'd go to the USA I would have thought.

Paris ?

 

[better dead than red]

He isn't doing it properly. Of course, his missus could just be very accepting.

IMO 300M roughly would fix their spine enough to challenge.
1 CB - Maguire replacement (60M)
1 DM - Matic replacement (60M)
1 CM - Pogba replacement - Glaringly obvious hole in their team (80M)
1 ST - Cavani replacement (100M)

Mata, Martial, VanDeBeek, Lingard never played anyway. The only starter, Greenwood, could be replaced by any kid who can run and shoot blindly.

Could they spend that much in 1 year? I'm no good on the FFS FFP.
