it's a mute point
This thread sums up our window entirely. We are absolutely fecked this season. Honestly think we could be on for a bottom half finish.
On the merry-go-round we goJust need a 'Manchester United are relaxed about the situation' brief
Can't get de Jong. Ah well, we'll get the "Best holding midfielder of all time" instead.
Welcome to every transfer rumour.Ok, let's change it....5% facts and 95% speculation/bullshit. How's that?
We're the most relaxed thing you'll find anywhere.Just need a 'Manchester United are relaxed about the situation' brief
I'm so embarrassed I don't think I'll ever recoverThe most embarrassing thread in Caf history, full of delusion, blind optimism, 5% facts and 95% speculation, culminating in 1600 pages of regurgitated crap and zero evidence that the fecker is joining United any time soon.
In today's football were defenders can barely touch a striker without seeing red and were every move is shown again and again its so easy to forget how ridiculously good the old school strikers are. My OMG moment came at Albertini's testimonial game in 2006. But let's give some backstory first. Van Basten's injury has had an enormous impact on him as a person. He can't move his ankle the way he wants to, he needs to be careful when training at the gym and can only play 10 minutes of football. By 2006, Van Basten was 41 years old and had retired from football years before. So we're talking about a guy who had barely played football since he retired and can't even move as a normal person could. For him to go on the pitch and score this wonder goal is amazingHe's gotten old.
He has a claim to be the best striker ever, not just the past 40 years, shame how his career was cut short.

Our football is far too shite to be this miserable in a fun muppet thread.

because the club insists we are still in the running - and who knows what Barca might suddenly decide to ask for between now and three hours from now...What’s the point in renewing it when it’s clear that he won’t join us till the deferred wages issue has been taken care of. Which imo isn’t going to happen this window.
He's 57Jeez Van Basten had really aged badly. What a player he was though. He was in my opinion the best striker in the past 40 years
Yep, this just about covers it.The most embarrassing thread in Caf history, full of delusion, blind optimism, 5% facts and 95% speculation, culminating in 1600 pages of regurgitated crap and zero evidence that the fecker is joining United any time soon.
Silence is good. Too much chatter yesterday.Sooooo
Could end up being the pinnacle of the ETH era.Remember the time when it is announced the deal has been agreed with Barca?
That's the happiest moment of whole saga, let's remembered it fondly.
1612 pages already and you think that's not entertaining? This thread is far more interesting than the entirety of last season (And probably this season as well).The most embarrassing thread in Caf history, full of delusion, blind optimism, 5% facts and 95% speculation, culminating in 1600 pages of regurgitated crap and zero evidence that the fecker is joining United any time soon.
Maybe not oldschool enough but Shevchenko at Milan was probably my favorite player as a kid, next to Ruud.In today's football were defenders can barely touch a striker without seeing red and were every move is shown again and again its so easy to forget how ridiculously good the old school strikers are.
So every transfer thread then?delusion, blind optimism, 5% facts and 95% speculation

regurgitated crap and zero evidence
I generally like to try to maintain a positive and lighthearted attitude about what's going on with the club, especially in regards to the new manager. That's said, it's hard not to think that this cock-up, straight out the gate, may be a foreboding sign that the new front office and manager don't exactly have a realistic grasp on how they're going to go about fixing the problems we're facing.Tweet

I dont understand why its so wrong to try to go for the best target you want for as long as you can? If we get him he could be a star player and fix many of our issues for many years. They clearly have their back up targets they probably could do fast if they wanted to.I generally like to try to maintain a positive and lighthearted attitude about what's going on with the club, especially in regards to the new manager.

Early days and whatnot, but I'd rather ETH not have tripped on his dick walking in the front door.
He's brilliant, and a very unique player which our manager thinks is crucial to our season. That being said we should be signing a few in those positions...I don't even think he's that good tbh.
Its not like he's fecking Iniesta.
Yeah he's a class player but definitely wasn't worth fecking our entire season over.
'Russ!?!'In the words of Clark W. Griswold.
"I think you're all fecked in the head. We're weeks from the Frenkie fecking Friday and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a thread. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. You're gonna have fun, and I'm gonna have fun... We're all gonna have so much fecking fun we're gonna need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles!"

You're absolutely right. There's no way of knowing what's actually taken place or what's yet to come with this saga. That said, if there was any transfer window that we needed to wrap up signings early in order to hit the ground running, this was the one. There's a strong argument to be made that not doing that has already cost us points.I dont understand why its so wrong to try to go for the best target you want for as long as you can?

95% of the different news articles/tweets are probably wrong so it seems a bigger cock-up than it is.
