So, United have stopped paying over the odds for players since Scruffy Jim bought a minority stake in United. £54mill for an 18 year old says otherwise.

A rag fan since birth, slept in raggie pjs under a raggie quilt AND he turned down 17 times CL champions so that he could play for the once mighty rags. A steal.

Oi, that's Phil Duncan Edwards Jones to you.

Not Arnie.......?!
He said he would be though.

Genuine question, as even our players could be made to look bad with a compilation of their gaffs and poor defending:

Is there a preponderance of stats from the last season he played to indicate he could actually be good? As in, dominance of the league in several stat categories?

Or is this a usual Rag signing?

And they really think they still have some "big club pull" in the transfer market, when they are constantly overpaying for players.

They are celebrating because the name was linked with Madrid. Bet most of them didn't even know who the fuck he was a month ago.

Trying to buy success they are.
Nowt said.
They are organic - like horse dung!

Signings so "brilliant" that they didn't appear to face any competition at all from any other clubs interested in them?

Ah well you see, when the rags bid for any player, the lure of the club is such that no other club will compete as they know that said player will automatically choose the rags.


What?
Someone mention money??

How very dare you!

I might be showing I am completely out of touch with upcoming footballing talent by admitting to this, but...

...who the hell is he? I've never heard of him.

Neither had the rags until a few weeks ago
