Bouhafsi is back
We have been breaking transfer records for decades.The time (for previously unheard of spending levels) has come, to be frank.
We’ve spent over a billion pound and the majority has been wasted (wrong player and/or ridiculous fee).Hopefully they're investing now because potential buyers of the club want us to do that and they will cover the expense. If I'm looking at buying United, I want to come in when we're strong, rather than coming in and sitting through a struggle of a season and waiting until next summer before it can be sorted and potentially more damage done.
But perhaps I'm just being naive. Add Casemiro, 80m for Antony, a GK, another CM and a RB, which we apparently are looking to do, will take our spending to levels never seen under the Glazers.
We are probably just looking for either. We sign a left winger, he replaces Rashford and Sancho plays on the right and if we sign a right winger Sancho plays on the left and takes Rashford's place.W
What is united looking for in Antony? A right winger or a left winger? Cody and Antony most definitely are the opposite.

Bottom of the tweet he repeats it in English. Antony was at Ajax today but skipped training.Translation?
Is that all the Dutch part says?Bottom of the tweet he repeats it in English. Antony was at Ajax today but skipped training.
Oh yeah?Bottom of the tweet he repeats it in English. Antony was at Ajax today but skipped training.
I've added a quote in the postIs that all the Dutch part says?
I think a large % of those failed players in the last decade are there in no small part because of the shit show around them as well at that time. They largely came from successful teams having played really well….we always had squads made up of picks of several previous managers, all wanting a different style. We need to hang out hat on this manager for 3 plus years to try and rid the squad of all of that and hope…We’ve spent over a billion pound and the majority has been wasted (wrong player and/or ridiculous fee).
The issue is spending it wisely. Hopefully Casemiro is the first of many and t.b.h.. if it’s Divs or good players, win/win?

Completely agree with you that money isn't the reason, but it is part of the problem as a whole - we are the only club the pays dividends to its owners. That says a huge amount to me personally and that they are using United as a cash cow.Think this is slightly hyperbolic.
Would make little sense to spend an extra £50 million, just to get £15 million in dividends. They took £11 million after last season I think.
I'm not defending the Glazers before anyone starts. Apparently anything less than stating they are the worst type of human possible is "sympathising".
They are crap owners and we are hamstrung by the fact we have to sustain ourselves along with the debt on the club because we pay for their debt.
But the dividend thing seems blown out of proportion so badly. The problem isn't that they took an £11 million payment. The issue is they don't know how to run a club and value business over pure sporting success.
Money isn't the reason we're in the mud.

Over their ownership period the glazers have taken £1billion out of Utd. City owners invested £1billion in that period. Thats why their team, training ground and stadium is state of the art and ours is a crumbing shambles.Think this is slightly hyperbolic.

You've missed my point entirely and I don't know if you're being deliberately disingenuous or if you're genuinely confusing the money we've wasted as a result of the debt with the dividends.Over their ownership period the glazers have taken £1billion out of Utd. City owners invested £1billion in that period. Thats why their team, training ground and stadium is state of the art and ours is a crumbing shambles.
The quoted tweet was 19 hours old, Boufasi was providing an update to that info.If a financial agreement needs to be found, it's not a done deal.

The money the club spends is generated through its own revenue. The dividends payment goes into the Glaziers back pocket
Although paying 80 mil for Antony is ridiculous. He isn't worth more than 50-55 at best.He should put in a transfer request. Rejecting 80 million is ridiculous.
He's worth what someone else is willing to pay for him.Although paying 80 mil for Antony is ridiculous. He isn't worth more than 50-55 at best.
He is 65 million player if I ever saw oneAlthough paying 80 mil for Antony is ridiculous. He isn't worth more than 50-55 at best.
This is really a bad taste move in my opinion.

Nice are interested in Diallo, we'd like a loan without an option, but looks like they want him permanently.

I’d say 30 million max, don’t see it in him I’m sorry to say I think he’ll flop badly.Although paying 80 mil for Antony is ridiculous. He isn't worth more than 50-55 at best.
Can’t say I know much about him but from your comment I’m guessing he’s shite?Dest would be very underwhelming.
