For all the usual talk of us ruining the game as i understand it the Rags have now spent around £145 million and as far as I know they have only recouped less than £10 million.

And yet they still haven't sorted out the main issues they have,

Arsenal have spent more tho baaa ha ha ha ha
 
I had a rag banging on about Ronaldo today and how it was a masterstroke for them to steal him from under our noses.

I understand they may see it that way but, this is a player who is now 36, a player who couldn't wait to get out of United as he wanted Madrid. A player who described himself as being treated like a slave for his last 18 months at the Rags. A player who openly celebrated when scoring against the rags and a player who was happy to take a substantial pay cut in order to join us but wouldn't move to the rags on the same terms.

You don't pay £560k a week to sit on the bench, and to spend it on a position where they already have Cavani, Greenwood and Rashford makes little sense to me.

I fail to see how this is a masterstroke

It's a trophy wife, or should I just say wife with reference to United.

Yep Ronaldo really had his heart set on city and wasn’t getting offered to them to make Man Utd shite them selves.

Do you believe that? United didn't need any ploy to get their pants taken down, they were jacking off already with the thought of being relevant again.

United would have bid for him no matter what!!
 
Masterstroke? It's getting back with your cheating ex who hasnt aged well, put on a load of weight and picked up an unhealthy drinking and smoking habit all because she was flirting with your best mate. It's not what you needed or wanted but you can't bare the thought of them two together so you feel you have to. Oh and it's cost you a fortune to pay off her tab with her dealer.

Yup. Absolute masterstroke from us pulling out like we did. Team Ron wanted a bidding war and we were having none of it, leaving the rags holding the baby (and a very expensive one going off the post above).
 
This might end up being a decent deal for them in the short-term but it doesn't progress them as a club in the slightest. United love these kinds of deals for some reason even though they never take a step forward as a result. Sanchez, Cavani, Ibrahmovic, Schweinsteiger, etc. Veterans on massive wages who "contribute" for a couple of years and get them loads of Twitter engagements but leave them back at square one when they leave. The likes of Fernandes and Sancho are genuinely great buys but throwing £24m a year at Ronaldo is a massive waste of resources that could be better spent on the deep-lying playmaker they actually need.
 
So, if spending a small fortune on Sancho, Varane, and now Ronaldo (to add to their record signings at GK, CB, and CM) don’t improve them from trophyless runners-up (domestically and in Europe), what next?

The pressure on Ole just got ratcheted up to 11!

He has to win the PL and go deep, deep in the CL for any semblance of success, doesn’t he?

Can a domestic cup cut it for the Top 4-6 teams anymore???

Going to be an interesting season!

I’m obviously excited, I grew up watching him for United, lifting premier leagues and champions leagues… but I still have doubts in the back of my mind at the negative impact he could have if the likes of Greenwood and sancho don’t get as much game time. I also don’t think he should just come in and take pens and free kicks off Bruno, IMO even with Ronaldo there Bruno’s still our catalyst

That ugly fucker is a coward!

After Fernandinho came calling in the League Cup semifinal, the rat-faced one didn’t want to know
