But midfield wasn't their problem area. At the moment they need a keeper and at least 2 forwards, ideally one of them having the ability to score goals. Plus, the price is high, (as always) that's why we are laughing.

Midfield is a massive problem. From February onwards they had run out of legs. Erikson and Casemiro can't play 60 games a season. And Fernandes is 29 this year. In the fa cup final, they had Fred, McTom and Weghorse on the bench.

Mount is an upgrade on all 3. Brings more energy. Probably pushes Erikson onto the bench. Only 24.

No I would have to be as clever as you to understand hypocrisy. I'd then be able to follow the discussion.


As I am ...... thick.

Agreed

Very average player, who can't seem to get anywhere near the England team.

That will no longer be the case now he plays for the scum, automatic England call up guaranteed.

Luke Shaw can't contain his excitement hearing the Rags have spent 60m on M&M.

Think he'll be disappointed.

 

[jacko74]

I don't think they look that hard. Ours have been fraudulent for 15 years and no one noticed

They can look hard enough when they choose to... hence 115 supposed breaches.

They've signed a good player and of course we lol.

They’ve signed an average player for a similar price to Haaland and wages on par with Rodri.

Of course we laugh — this is a quintessential United transfer.

Absolutely brilliant they (all 17 of them) closed the Megastore on the Morning of the kit launch! (it was being reported on talk sport at 7.30am, the store didn't open until 10am)!

One of the plant pots was interviewed and said that they will continue to boycott buying anything from the shop or in the stadium whilst the Glazers are in charge. The irony of the fact that he was also proud that he is a season ticket holder was lost on him!

different breed them lot!

A Casemiro, Mount, Bruno midfield is not exactly built for possession. None of those players can recycle & retain possession at a high level. I remember how awkward they were trying to play out from the back in the FA Cup final. The players they have are all built for the counter attack, they dont break teams down. If they keep DDG they will again play a deep defensive line and look for a quick release to Rashford. They only scored 58 goals in the league last year.

The guys on Redcafe constantly bring up Pep doping past. I wondering what they feel about the GK their manager wants who was banned for doping.
