Just perusing the BBC and other virtual ‘back pages’ this morning; is there anyone these cunts are *not* being linked with?!?!

Mteta and Mbuemo apparantly. Just shelled out 60 mil, owe hundreds of mills in overdue transfer debts, countless more hundreds of billions in debt, and nearly went bust (according to Brexit Jim) as recently as last winter.

Financial fair play anyone?

small thing but you mean they lost more money than any other PL club they didn't make a penny. They brought in a lot but their outgoings far exceeded their incomings. One thing is for sure they will be failing PSR this year so it's just a question of how the PL will find allowances to let them off. The new stadium is prime candidate for the fake transactions

Yeah. the stadium announcement makes massive sense in that context doesn't it.

Must be season ticket renewal time as they’re always linked with players and end up with Hojlund and Zirkzee

Chelsea giving them £5 million rather than buy Sancho for £23 million , but he was going to be a fantastic signing according to sky/bbcsports ha ha ha

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Maybe then can sign Beckham’s kid. The one who was a photographer then a chef and now a racing driver.

Just the sort of stupid shit they would do

I see they have Sancho back and £5m compo from Chelsea - double win :)

And more rounds of redundancies
But we all know they will never fail FFP or PSR as already seen the corruption by the PL in allowing the bloated claims for them to pass last time despite losing hundreds of millions over 3 years

Mateta is very Lukaku

 

[Protein Junkie]

The only thing that would make sense with the Rags getting Cunha and Mbeumo would be if there’s a fire sale due.
Zebedee, Danish birtles, Pope Fishcake and Jaded might raise a few quid. Then there’s Klarna, Ocean finance etc.

Rumored to be looking at Donnarumma now. FFS!

 

[Tracking back]

We keep getting told these lot haven’t got a pot to piss in but here they are again racking up the incomings. How?

Well let's face it. If they're allowed to operate with debts of nearly one billion pounds why would the Premier League law makers have issues with them signing new players?

Don't get me wrong, the optics look horrendous for the rags. Mass redundancies, growing debts and absolutely no regard for profit and sustainability rules. Yet, if you listen to media you would be forgiven for thinking the Trafford Tramps are the best run club in the country.

Probably sign a temu version called Donearunner with his £400,000 a week

"I've just won the Champion's League. What next? Well I could stay in a great team, could get the gloves at a major European giant like Real Madrid, or......I could go to the 15th best team in England and not play in Europe."

 

[TinFoilHat]

Is he finally joining his favourite club?

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Probably sign a temu version called Donearunner with his £400,000 a week

Or maybe done a runner through a toilet window

and still owe around 300m in past transfers , why are clubs still allowing them to sign players on credit ffs

I think the rat staying is good as he’s the captain and with Rashford the main rotten apple. Bit worried about Cunha and Mbeumo are both v good players. Hopefully they will turn to complete shit like the majority do

Don't worry the cycle will continue.

I've made this point several times already. However, it's worth reiterating. The rags have got a squad on par with Wolves, Leicester et al however, Wolves and Leicester aren't expected to be vying for league titles. The pressure placed on the rags to succeed by the media is their achilles heel.

The reason players thrive when they leave the filth is because they are purged of the toxicity and pressure of playing for a brand which is burdened with hopeless expectations.

The rags haven't been a football club for many years now and when players sign up it doesn't take them long for this reality to hit home.
I always thought it was more than a coincidence that very talented football players turned to dog shit when they signed for the rags. This is what happens when you join a club that is so preoccupied by it's name it forgets what it's sole purpose is.

Modern football players couldn't give two hoots about brands unless they can wear them.

Excellent insight.
I couldn't agree more
