Rags putting a few quid into psg with this signing means they've already agreed a deal to sell Rashford to them another home grown player! Is why they'll be able to spend 200m this summer even with being close to PSR

I’ll be amazed if PSG go anywhere near Rashford.

They really do specialise in signing the ugliest players with the most slappable faces don't they.

Of course they do: Slabhead, Wan Bissaka, Anthony, JFE, ….
Need I go on?

Year after year another expensive signing. Apart From Bruno Mercury and maybe Garnacho (up for debate) do they actually pull any decent signings off?

Fernandes is still yet to have a decent game against a top 4 side, a classic flat track bully who looks OK against mediocre opposition only.

And Garnacho is just yet another in a long line of young united forwards who's only ability is to run fast and hit the ball hard in the direction of the goal at every opportunity he gets, unfortunately with their hoofball style of play it does make him quite effective, although as usual the hype far outweighs his actual stats.

Any criticism, apart from on here, about the amount of money they are splashing around?

Far from it. In fact ESPN says this:

"Yoro is one of the finest young central defenders football has seen in some time. At just 18 years of age, there are some understandably rough edges to his game, but most who see him agree that we're looking at a potential great."

He's a bargain. 100m player for 50m. They never learn do they.

Girona for 2'6" in 2 years!!

Seems quiet in media regarding St Findus’ 6 month driving ban, saw a single article about him speeding on a motorway in his £700,000 Rolls Royce. Why the silence?

Really embarrassing watching how shit these lot have become
They are ‘back’ having signed an 18 year old player no one has been talking about after signing another player no one has been talking about
Now they want a player PSG want rid of
They will improve next year, because it’s hard for them to be any worse
Crisis by Christmas

The thing with the signing of these players is that tent peg does not improve players, there is not one player on the rags that tent peg has made any better and the idea that somehow he is going to make yoro, ugarte and zirkzee any better is madness, bottom line is if any of these players were top quality players, they would not be downgrading to go and play there and it doesnt matter how the press try and spin it, that is just the facts.

The PR spin is crazy
Like greenwood being sold for €30m, the turns out it’s €25m, which is actually £21m
Same for kwambala going for €10m which is only €6m or £5m

On the other hand they tell you how much they paid without add ons

As long as ten hag is there we’ll be fine
The level of player they are in for is young or not wanted by a big club

Like u said the PR spin is crazy for these players, yoro didnt want to go there and openly stated it, they had to pay over the odds, pay him a massive wage AND lille had to threaten him with no playing next year to get him to go there .
