United Thread - 2022/23

There's nothing at all stopping United from being a world class side.

Other than the need to:

Replace ownership;

Sign about 8 players who are near the top in their respective positions; and

Instill a winning mentality in the squad.

United are fucked - and will be for the next few seasons at least.

other possible signings had raised red flags however these two have been on the radar for sometime, funny how they didnt disclose these two while the season ticket window was still open at the swamp

 

[yeah whatever !!]

As it stands the rags are the equivalent of the caveman with the wheel where as we are the f-35 jet that the RAF acquired off the United States..

A caveman is renowned for having a big club...alas,not this one.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I see what you are getting at. I suppose my point is that (say) West Ham or Brighton might not be winning the PL any time soon, but they are well managed and have a coherent strategy. They are not a joke, making ridiculous signings and expecting to win the CL on the strength of them. Their grounds are not falling apart. Their fans have realistic expectations. Above all, they are making small, but sustained progress, not constantly finding a fresh crisis.

The Rags have huge resources (moneywise) but what progress have they made these last X years? At best, they are treading water, and other clubs with smaller resources and much smaller fan bases are doing better.

Exactly.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Rag cafe still thinks de Jong is going there.

 

[Gingers Dad]

the penny is begining to drop on the cafe- re Halland/Ronaldo-





Something tells me City planned this signing all along. I think they always wanted Haaland and used Ronaldo to play us for fools, thus, giving them a free run at him.
Christ, we're a shit show in comparison these days and damn it hurts.

Quite funny that they still see themselves as credible alternative for a player.

 

[Gingers Dad]

The most bewildering thing is their bid for Arnautovic…a 33 yr old has been…just crazy

City should show an interest. It's worked before

 

[Feed the Elk]

Has anyone told ten hag he’s managing United?
He seems to think he’s still in charge of Ajax what with targeting arnautavic and rabiot

 

[argyle]

The club that once sought out the best youth players in the world, rooney and ronaldo, etc, are now buying players past their prime who would struggle to start at Everton.

Hook this into my veins.

 

[give it to gordon]

Deal agreed for Rabiot, £15m:



He is bang average in my opinion, might be enough to solidify a top half spot.

Not long ago I would know of the players the rags were signing. Now I havent a clue who the signings are . Happy days lol
