United Thread - 2023/24

Whichever way you want to slice it this is yet another great day for Manchester City.

Utd have resigned a 35 year old centre half they let go 8 years ago. He's been relegated with two different clubs since he left. Ten Hag said he impressed him in training. Which begs the question - how bad are the rest?

They are signing a goalkeeper for £50m they could signed for free. Who's got the longest bloopers video ever seen on the Internet. On a positive note he hasn't tested positive for illegal substances for while and he is already experienced at losing to City.
 
So to summarise for the rags Summer so far

Mason Mount - 2 goals 2 assists last season.

Onana - failed a drug test and was picked up by Inter for free now the rags are paying £47 million for him.

Johnny Fucking Evans - sign a player surplus to requirements a decade ago. This whilst pushing Maguire out of the door who they paid £85 million for.

Gave Rashford a five year contract off one good season paying him what Kevin De Bruyne gets a week.

Failed FFP citing covid as the reason when it didn’t happen to us, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea during that accounting period.

Don’t have a shirt sponsor.

No where near any completion of a take over.

Have I missed anything?
 
That decent you let him go and now have took him back after his team got relegated last season…..


Top drawer.
Evan's had bad injuries at United and was in and out of the team. Never really had a proper long run at it. He went out to West Brom, where he did the hard yards, learned his trade amicably as a solid, ball playing defender. He stats back this up. Pep Guardiola tried to sign him for City in 2017 & 2019 but he stayed at Leicester where he was guaranteed first team football.

Bringing him in as 5th choice center back is a masterstroke, because he is the consummate professional and he wasn't exactly on the scrap heap, he was playing in the PL last season, and he is still Northern Ireland captain. If our youngsters cannot learn from someone who has played 500 professional games then we are in the wrong business. Oh, and he is free.

You forgot to mention that they're still scum but I guess that goes without saying
