So this is interesting.

All following figures from Sky Sports Transfer Centre, if they can be trusted:
They lay out a cool £62 m, rounding it down a bit, for Cunha. They're about to get rinsed for Mbeumo, since they've just had a £62 m bid rejected, rounding it down a bit. So call it north of £124 m, assuming they won't give up. (And I think they won't, because they're bloody desperate. Don't ask where the money's coming from — presumably not from Mr Jim Ratsarse).
We spent £70 million, rounding it down a bit, for Cherki and Ait-Nouri. Saving Money on the Ryans, indeed. Even add Reindeers, it still totals at £116 m. Plus add a couple of things that are probably pretty significant — we've just got Kev off our wage bill. A hefty sum, over a year (was he on about £400,000 a week, or have I got that wrong? That was the rumour, anyway). They have no European football of any kind. Not only do we have the CL, we're in the process of paying off a significant part of those tranfer bills already, with the competition we're involved in right now.
Probably my accounting is pretty simplistic here, yet the myth is still lazily peddled both in the media and in the average Joe-down-the-pub-football-fan that we are the biggest spenders. (Saw a comment to that effect on the beeb in the know-nothing comments section — as it always is — under the write-up of the Juventus game).
Not one thing I've seen is ever said about United's spending.

Come on now mate don’t be naive. It’s all “organic” their money.

There's a relatively unknown French midfielder whose only 32.
He is currently signed to Monaco and my sources are saying the rags will snap him up in the January transfer window.
It is rumoured the rags will blow upwards of 65-70 million to land the player he's considered that good.

You heard it from me first.

Bumping my own fred but......
Obviously the post above was a piss take about the rags re-signing Pogba.
The post was done last Wednesday when he signed for Monaco after his drug ban.....
I was in a bar an hour ago that had sky sports on in the background. They had breaking news, huge headlines and a mantion of a transfer. It showed Pogba scoring for the rags, I got all giddy surely they hadn't...... I checked online.....
No they hadn't, sky are so desperate to fill 24 hours of shite, they were reporting he'd signed for Monaco.

Gutted is not the word.

Well, he may come back and score the goal that knocks them out of Europe.

What? ...oh, sorry, as you were..
 
Each new season, the rags have been full of optimism that they are 'on the way back' (to where they rightfully belong!), only to find their club has either signed some lemons, (or turned half decent players into lemons), thus causing it to finish in a worse position at seaaons' end.
As usual the rags are getting giddy about their new signings and what a positive difference they are going to make.
I can see St.Beneathus day coming a lot earlier in 25/26 season and hopefully they will get a points deduction from the P/L too, which pushes them into a relegation scrap.
Can't happen? We shall see.....

Great post......until you mentioned points deduction.
I would suggest you stop drinking alcoholic beverages, they clearly cloud your judgement.
