£60m for Anthony….as John Wayne once said ..” that’ll be the day!”

I think you misunderstood. They said would the scum be willing to lose £60m on him. Still think he’s grossly overpriced at £25m though!

 

[Frank the Yank]

Just remember it cost the Rags £52 million to sign the human fruit machine Zirkzee and to sack Ten Hag.

Or one Erling Haaland if you will.

Bargain

How about this, Amorim’s release clause plus poundland peps pay off is more than one Akanji!! Let that sink in..

I stand corrected

It surprises me that they they are just going for the latest cab off the rank like other clubs do. I thought they would have a special pool of GPC's proteges to choose from all dripping with the "United DNA."

Amorim favours a back 3. Can anyone think of a combo of 3 current rag defenders that doesn't make you laughw just thinking about it?

Luke Shaw can cover all three positions at the same time.

Luke Shaw can cover all three positions EATING A MEAT PIE at the same time.

Corrected for you :-)

He has never played or coached outside of Portugal unless you want to count his stint playing in Qatar on loan. This is the man they feel can get through to Rashford et al.

They are trying to catch lightning in a bottle.

You are incorrect. Marcus is nowhere near that fast any more . (Though he does have a fondness for the bottle...)

 

[RodneyRodney]

It’s incredible to think they had conversations with Ten Wanks and were “deeply impressed” with him. He’s obviously completely mental and a massive dickhead. How could anyone be deeply impressed by the ****?

He'd connect immediately with everyone throughout the club from the boardroom to the Stretford End.

So the crayon munchers look likely to bust their load yet again pending the announcement of Amorim.
Let’s look at this in a bit more detail.
Since the GPC walked away the Rags have unequivocally adopted the “ new boss is better than the old boss”
Over a decade of relative mediocrity has failed wholeheartedly to enter their pebble sized grey matter that they are now just rank and file.
Without research I’m not sure any prospective new Messiah has entered the realm of the poisoned chalice from such a low base.
Nevertheless, appointing Amorim is not just another new kid donned in emperor’s new clothes.
The squad is as bad as has been this last decade, the stadium looks like prime estate in Afghanistan and now they have Scruffy Jim.
The stakes are very high this time, very high indeed.

At some stage they'll get a sponsor for the swamp.....then we'll know it's the real last chance saloon.
