I bet he'll be on nearer 400k a week but the media will get it down to something ridiculous like 150k or something. Desperation signings sum that shit club up to a tee

Ericson & Casamiro; got a real injection of pace and workrate from their signings this summer - not.
Neither with the United DNA and both very definitely there for the money alone.
I fear the worst for Ten Bob - wallowing in the basement until the World Cup, I'm afraid.
Pray that he survives.

He can't piss over anyone in the squad.
They're going after that Welsh winger, Dai Allysis, from Swansea.

They've just returned from scaling the twin peaks of Kilimanjaro
Midfield players over 30 who played more than 2000mins in the Premier League 2021/22:
Not many players playing significant minutes in midfield into their mid-thirties.
Bear in mind they're making him a Top 5-10 earner in the league (having never played in the league) until he's 34/35 years old.
I know De Bruyne meets all the criteria (apart from he has played in this league) but we'll be saving his legs for the big moments over the next few years with rotation. They have McTominay to come in for Casemiro.
Player | Age | Position | Apps | Minutes |
Moussa Sissoko | 33 | Midfielder | 36 | 3221 |
Stuart Dallas | 31 | Full Back / Midfielder | 34 | 2929 |
Oriol Romeu | 30 | Midfielder | 34(2) | 2899 |
Kenny McLean | 30 | Midfielder | 29(2) | 2707 |
Jordan Henderson | 32 | Midfielder | 29(6) | 2604 |
Ashley Westwood | 32 | Midfielder | 26(1) | 2290 |
Jorginho | 30 | Midfielder | 26(3) | 2279 |
Kevin De Bruyne | 31 | Midfielder | 25(5) | 2205 |
Allan | 31 | Midfielder | 25(3) | 2188 |
Mateusz Klich | 32 | Midfielder | 26(7) | 2095 |
Pascal Gross | 31 | Midfielder | 24(5) | 2043 |

Crazy signing, will cost then north of 150m in transfer and add on costs, wages and Agent fees. I’d honestly not want him at City, he’ll disappear back to a second rate team in Spain before his contract ends, car crash signing.

What if we fans have a whip-round to pay for the goal posts?

This is just further proof how much they are struggling to recruit. Not having champs league is big, but anyone with a brain (or at least a decent agent) can see that club is in free-fall. The short term-ism has riddled them for years, they got in Ten Haag but it should have been complemented with scouting players beforehand that 1. would come 2. are capable of playing the system 3. players that Ten Haag actually wants. They are just using their standard scattergun approach only to pay over the odds for a player just so the fans think they have got someone in. They'll win games just like they did last season, but the transition required to play Ten Haag's style of football from anything they're used to with these players, it's gonna be worse at the start but maybe start picking up a bit at the end. I really can't believe they've not replaced DDG, in fact its fucking piss funny.

The narrative that the Scum squad is ageing doesn't actually hold water.
The average age of the two teams in the last match was as follows.

I hope so, he's a cockwomble of the highest order. I went to listen to an episode of his podcast and got as far as the introduction before switching it off: ''This is the diary of a CEO. I hope no one is listening, but if you are, keep it to yourself.''
This is the first time in his career he's been in charge of transfers. Overmars was in control for Ajax when he managed them
