I wonder when they're going to be linked with Watkins from Villa? Or has it happened already?

He’s scored 1 goal less than the ‘best striker in the world’ Rashford. So it’s inevitable they will want him
 
Glazers now more interested in minority investment from some hedge fund guys apparently. Bless your greedy hearts Glazers, bless you.
I really hope that's true. A hedge fund would be so rapacious they'd make the Glazers seem like generous owners. Plus it would involve more debt.

They getting them in to fund the summers spending on players? They are apparently pulling their faces at paying £25 million for Sabitzer who is no way near the level to play in one of the top teams in Europe. God bless the Glazers for pranking the rag supporters. They didn’t want a way out, they just wanted more money to piss up the wall

Yet they want 50m for McTominay.

They are just out to make enough cash to fund a half decent QB for the Buccaneers.
 
For those that like stats and gaps.

City
1st team g/d +50
EDS g/d +40
U18`s g/d +58
total g/d +148

United
1st team g/d +7
EDS g/d -16
U18`s g/d +12
total g/d +3

Mind the fucking gap chasm.
You could , from what I’ve read, easily add in all the other youth age groups as well.
About the only group that united seem to be outperforming City with, this year, is women’s football.
 
Ollie Watkins has one less goal than player of the year elect Marcus Rashford in the Premier League this season. Ivan Toney has more than him too, the media would have you believe he is on some Haaland type goal scoring rampage. When you look at it, his goals stats are padded out in 2nd rate European competitions and the league cup.
 
Yeah but they'll have 12 men with Magliar playing.
As @BobbyJohnstone has pointed out above, the rags will have McKenna in return as well as the ref, both linesmen, the 4th official, the VAR and the assistant VAR so that's 17 v 11 plus the rags are spawny cunts and Forest are shite.
 
The 'nited way on sly at the moment so hastily changed to some romantic slush on Great movies, in a vain bid for credibility on Blue Moon!

Just thinking of the swamp dwellers and the Grievers, if you had deep pockets, how would the red arse cheeks represent good value for money? They are probably still just about the biggest fan bases, but how could you grow?

Idly looking at the table, if you're a billionaire then Shirley these clubs could be worth a flutter:

Villa - know they've got Chinese owners so won't be as cheap, but do have a large fan base.

Wolves - won't be cheap for same reasons but decent fan base and excellent Portuguese football connections.

West Ham - strongly remind me of City for good and bad reasons, great history, excellent location and fans.

Dirty dirty Leeds - proper heathen country but a one team town, can play great football and wouldn't be too pricey. Have to knock down Elland Road first, whether a new stadium ready or not!

Everton - literally the basket case's basket case of how not to run a club. But a move to a fantastic new stadium on the horizon, huge potential, rivalry with 'dem, what's not to like?

I also think you could make a case for any of the bottom three too, as they wouldn't be silly money and can point to fan base and history.

Anyway, upshot is red shirts you're just paying for the name, for the others you could genuinely build a "project" and I'm all for other fans being able to experience the joy and elation that we've had.
