United Thread - 2021/22

[solley attwell]

I’ve just read on the BBC that Daniel James is close to going to Leeds for £30m.
This is a player that joined United from Swansea for around £15m and did absolutely nothing at Old Trafford - and United have doubled their money!
How, i mean just……..how?
Am i missing something here?
I’m all aware of Sunderland buying all the shite washed-up United players for £15m-£20m in the past but this is taking the piss isnt it?

Has Steve Bruce become the new Leeds manager?

All okay at ot again now......glazers haven't gone have they? Hilarious and embarrasing

 

[Blue Til Death]

Keep seeing the ol' snubbed line in any article about goofy coming to us, when it's been reported we balked at his wages, fuck the press, and fuck the rag scum, cunts one and all.

Yeah snubbed again, like we were with Fred, Sanchez, Pogba and every other total flop who now plays for these clowns …. !

 

[Blue Mist]

And paid over 5 years lol

No I am on about the James fee to Lids. The BBC and most are saying 30 mil when it is actually 20 or possibly 25 mil.

State of that Ronaldo Instagram post

Can't say I have had the (dis)-pleasure - I think I could probably write it tongue in cheek though.........

Be a box of celebrations by tomorrow.

Oh and I see they are offering Cavani to Barca !!! They are desperate to reduce their wage bill but Barca, that once great club can't afford him even on a free (300k a week after tax)

Is this after their last bargain of the century?



Never hear a peep out of the media about him wasting away on the bench after spending 40m on him.

Just last day nonsense to keep the Sky Sports, Talksport etc hype bubble going until 11.

Is he a used car salesman or a journalist?

By my calculations the rags are at least 4 players over the CL and PL squad limits. Either going to be some fire selling today or very unhappy players…. Tick tock

Politician more like

Can't be true as Barca's 'warchest' is for the purchase of Raheem.

Ronaldo is going to be the biggest flop ever in transfer history. He will find the PL too slick and too fast for him, nothing like Serie A or La Liga. He will be too old too slow and be out injured for at least half their games. He won't reach double figures in goals and there will be a split camp Pogba v Ronaldo.

Bring it on better soap than Corrie.... popcorn anyone?

thats what i thought mate,hes going to cost them because they could have bought for other positions but didnt,they went for the glory of signing a near has been

Got a new theory on the ronaldo to city transfer...

Jorge Mendes was recently asked by City to secure the futures of current city players under his agency to new/long term contracts (Diaz/Ederson) whilst ensuring bernado stays. In exchange Mendes could use City as a lure to get Ronaldo a new deal with United.

As a result of thier panic buy, U*d are now having to offload players to accommodate Ronaldo, change squad numbers, are unable to purchase a CDM (What they really needed...).

City have just been playing 4D chess all along.

(Well, it's what i'm telling myself anyway... ;-))

How is that James character worth 28 million ?Unless its jellybeans.

 

[roman totale]

Wow. I’ve just entered the online media for the first time today. What time is the Ronaldo-fueled jizz tsunami going to hit the eastern American seaboard?

A United fan was telling me that their share price jumped £200m (I think it was more likely $) when he was announced, so he's paid for himself already.

So I checked, and their share price did indeed jump, but it's now $100m LOWER than it was last Wednesday.

Still, the stories are written by now :)
