They aren't incompetent. They just don't care about finishing higher than fourth.
This. I think the governments announcement was the final nail in the coffin for our summer transfer business. Another bullshit season awaits .
Nah Brooks is quality.
I agree. There is always a big difference in expectations here vs reality. I said it at the time, things like missing out on the Europa league final and potentially £10m+ prize money (Inc super cup) all has an impact. The latest restrictions in the UK make funds available even lower.
what current player will he end up like if he fulfils his talent? Son, Sane or Mane level?
He would be on par with Lingard, Pereira and James just another squad option. One that won't have the quality to push the likes of Martial, Greenwood and Rashford for their starting spot.
This tweet is so comical that i've read it like dozens of times already
Feck right off. We have the same difficulties as other clubs but they're getting deals done. Useless bastards.
Does it mean that Sancho is still on?
Mate-I'd be happy for us to sign anyone with the letter "o" at the end of their surname! Or a Brazilian-ANY Brazilian.
Yes.
Yes, but 2018 was also crap.
2013 Fellaini is a level of shambles that'll never be topped.
2013 takes some beating. SAF departs and the club brings in a new manager for the first time in 27 years - everyone assumes it been carefully planned, with numerous high-profile signings lined up to usher in the new era... instead, we only sign Fellaini, on deadline day, for more than his (expired) release clause.
This is precisely what is going to happen.
Nah, Fellaini was a heartbreaker. At least VDB is quality.
I asked the question in another thread but could this be the reason they’re holding out to make signings?
It's not a credible reason if it is.
Ok, I’m not clued up with regards to that sort of stuff and I know I’m going to sound a bit thick but I read somewhere that they had to show the banks that they’ve made at least 65m PA as part of the loan agreement or some such shit, so I wasn’t sure if perhaps they were waiting till a certain date that they could show the banks they had the cash for that financial year which Google tells me is from 1st October - September 30 in the US, before they could spend again.
Who knows, they are hardly a secret with anything surprising in them. There's probably a valid reason but maybe it's not an ideal time to go public if we are negotiating deals, on the other hand after the window we can say 'look how hard we've been hit' when there is a fan backlash.
Please don't remind me. Still sends a shiver down my spine today. urghhh...
Especially as we thought Leighton Baines was coming as well. At least our full back would have been good. Wasn't there someone from Real on loan rumoured as well?
Tom Brady is arguably the greatest QB of all time it would be like us buying Messi . His Jersey has been the biggest selling or at least in the top 5 for over a decade. I wouldn't quite call him a corpse either he is still one hell of a player
