Mercenary United FC.

What do they really think Casemiro is going to be like, having won everything and now having doubled his wages, for FIVE years?!

Have they learned nothing?

This is Ronaldo mkII, albeit slightly less of a ****

 

[Blue Til Death]

Just when Casemiro has established himself as another player ruined by the rags, he will be off to the world cup and McFred will crawl back into the midfield …

 

[ScottSinclair]

Nemanja Matic mark two. His wages and legs will be a huge issue for them sooner rather than later. He will also give them nothing short-term unless they upgrade the rest of the central-line in the coming weeks.

Their stupidity is so absolutely spectacularly over-the-top, it's almost like they are an american spin-off of a British sitcom about how to run a football-club into the ground

 

[Bluemoon115]

He'll make one decent pass on his debut and be hailed as the next Pirlo.

He'll be average and overhyped for the rest of the season, maybe even the next two.

Then he'll be a 32 year old past it player on ridiculous wages, that his third, maybe even fourth manager at United won't be able to shift.

I love football.

sorry if already posted, I couldn't see it, but worth putting up again anyway:

This is a poem, penned by Ryan Giggs, as read out in court yesterday:


My darling Kate
Unequivocally our love was fate
I fell in love with you at first sight
I remember coz I was as high as a kite
Those beautiful eyes made me shiver
I’m not gonna lie I think of you I dream of you
Can’t help thinking pulling you was my greatest ever coo
That stomach those abs
Those pictures you send so I can keep tabs
You make me feel funny down there
Especially when you’re there and you look up and stare
I’m beginning to think you are always right
That’s okay it will keep us tight
I’m gonna end by saying you are my love my friend my soul
And most of all you believe in me, which makes me hard as a totem pole

Mr Giggs sent Ms Greville this message on New Years Eve 2017.

G is for gorgeous

R is for radiant

E is for extraordinary

V is for vivacious

I is for idolised, by me

L is for legs L is for legs

E is for everything I've ever wanted

The court has now sat through an hour and a half of gushing messages between Ms Greville and Mr Giggs. In among these exchanges, he called her "the jam in my doughnut, the salt in my tequila, the truffle in my pasta".

One text from Mr Giggs said:

"I love you so much baby, it even blows my mind that your surname is Greville. It rhymes with Neville, who is one of my besties, and Breville, which is my favourite toastie maker. It's things like this that make us so special.

Greville + Neville + Breville = so special"

Bloody hell, lol!!!!

He's a good player. Should improve them but its more short term fixes for a lot of money

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Except that he's a year older than Matic was, and they've offered him a longer contract than Matic got.

He deserves to get sent down for that alone
