Really?
I can see most fans closing an eye on the atrocities if the Saudis make an Mbappe type signing.
Ironically, that's the kind of signing 'the world's biggest club' with a supposed 'galactico policy' should've been making for decades, not hiding behind a conveniently cheap tradition of playing youth. When was the last time United owners shelled out for an actual, in their absolute prime, world star?

Three Journos with links to the Saudi's have either teased or fuelled takeover talk. I find that intriguing because in the past the lads in Saudi were silent and we didn't hear a murmur.
I know of the 2, who is the third? List their tweets on here?

If and again a BIG if, we are bought by Saudi's, the worst thing they could do is buy galactico's. If they are to have any chance of getting the supporters on their side, they will need to stick to the traditions of United. They just really need to learn off of the mistakes made by the Glazer's and Ed.

Di Maria, but the weak tw@t just didn’t want to be here! As sh1t as he was here id take him straight back in this current team. He has more creativity in his little toe than Mata, Lingard and Andreas combined.

Edit: Pogba too ..

Eh? Really? That is fecked up.
Yeah - https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/n...-37-put-to-death-in-shocking-execution-spree/

There's even a Wikipedia page dedicated to it.

Order the JLINGZ limited edition blood stained executioner overall NOW! Available in a number of different colours and sizes, each piece come with its own very personal history. The JLINGZ logo is taken from Jesse’s iconic celebration and has been quickly replicated by fans and dictators across the globe. The collection is a celebration of ready to wear extremist religious wear with occasional limited drops.

£70.00
:lol:

Can't wait to see MBS in a future "Beans beans beans" video.


Mods, if this takeover happens please delete that before I "commit suicide" and dispose of my own body in several suitcases, thanks.

So to all the people that will stop following United if this happens will you also leave the caf?
No because it's an online community that I enjoy being part of. I'd almost certainly take a back seat to supporting the club, though.

Less emotional investment, maybe a more neutral outlook.

These aren’t the types to build hype using United’s name before buying out Sevilla or Napoli.

If they’re making noises about United, it’s because they want United and think they can get United because United is still the jewel in the crown of world football.
Are you still confident we're gonna sign Vidal..:D Them were the days..:lol:

It’s distasteful people want to be owned by the Saudi’s that they are desperate for someone with a tick on Twitter to be an ITK because they want owners with money.

Like I said people should look into what happens in Saudi Arabia, how people are treated there, what happened to a journalist for speaking out.
If you are so disgusted, why are you replying in a thread that wants the Saudi's in? You really shouldn't do it to yourself.

Because it posses an interesting question about where fans will draw the line in terms of questionable ownership, politics in Saudi Arabia as well as other things affecting our day to day ideals. It also takes a break from the incessant posts regarding Ole and how crap we've been for years. You're more than welcome to check one of the million of those out.

You also wasted one of your daily posts. I recommend more puns. @SteveJ can guide you with that. He's like Yoda but without the green goblin stuff, although I have heard from reliable sources that he wanders around swamps in a dressing gown wielding his saber.

The horse they gave him is called Roganda Abosak?

That's an anagram of "Arab Gonad Soak", obviously a new product sponsorship they're subtly hinting at.

Great answer and the thread is actually about a claim a deal was done not we want the Saudi’s in, shows how desperate you are for it to be true.

Don’t be too disappointed when this is proved to be nonsense.

How does this prove I'm so desperate? Genuinely interested as I didn't think I was desperate?!

Yea I've seen this guy and Moaid Mahjoub guy. I'm not sure of the third person you're referring to?
This was the chap that was the first to tweet regarding a potential takeover. He basically says that he was invited to the Abo Saq residence and tried to get info regards a takeover but people at the residence wouldn't be drawn on a potential takeover and were keeping the info confidential. He's pictured in the tweet below at the residence.


That was then followed up by Naifco who was also in attendance and was asking United fans why they wanted #Saudisin

Then you had the LinkedIn chap who is basically the chief PR guy for the Royal Family saying United had been bought by a Saudi Investor. I would assume he meant a verbal agreement of some sort might have been reached.
