Just remind us of the " top players " they have signed ?

It is a fact that because they are totally clueless regarding football awareness that they pay over the odds for 2nd rate players and over-hyped fuck ups that decent teams wouldn't touch .

I wouldn't be surprised to find that they are punching above their weight in playing Bodo Glimt , the european susperstars of fuck knows where.

If you read the bit in brackets about "top players" it was meant make of what you want out of their top players they've signed. We know that the top players they have signed are ridiculously overpriced and overrated but that's their look out. The main thing is they are still allowed to pay huge fees despite of the ever mounting debt they're in.

You mention 'serviceable debt'.
This was spouted when it was 600 million.
The debt is now certainly north of 800 million.
Soon someone is going to realise the debt, especially if it continues to rise isn't serviceable.
If they miss out on a top 4 place this year..........

And rising week in week out.

Like barca in Spain.
The league needs the cartel in each country.
The chairman of the fa.

When Roy Hodgson was engerland manager he actually said "if you young English and play for yooouuunited you have a great future for england".
Why do you.
Cleverly.
Welbeck.
Phil neville.
Alan smith captain at Leeds never played for England.
Went to the rags.
In the England team.
Leaves to go to Newcastle.
No England games

But a club can sometimes be one that demised, and another steps into its place commercially that its days are numbered.

United have been slaughtered the last few years. Comical appointments, a stadium that’s falling down, results that are just there to be laughed at. The list goes on.

United aren’t anything like what or who they are. There are two or three other clubs now who have as much, if not more, worldwide appeal. Us being one of them.

Nobody has any benefit of then staying on top than them - and they’re continuing to fail. They’be long been second fiddle in Manchester*

*if Trafford is to be included.
 
Judging by this so far, going to take some getting used to making these players play the way he wants. Having 3 defenders (essentially 5 with the wing backs) should make them more solid and make the transition easier but it’s done the opposite.

Martinez legging it out of position into midfield because Ugarte/Fernandes aren’t doing their jobs. Garnacho and Antony not tracking runners. Fernandes not defensively sound enough to track runners or have the awareness. Mount meandering around.

They’ll attack better than they did under Ten Hag but defensively they’ll be even more open than they were…somehow.

Reminds me of the first season under Pep. We were mint going forward when he first came - different patterns etc. - but the defence was rocky and we were open. He always harped on about ‘second balls’ and I think it takes a few games for foreign managers to recognise that importance.

Hopefully they continue to be shit.
