At the end of the day, it's a sporting competition first and foremost, not a business. Well, football is a business, but not in the sense where we're going to take "customers" from our competitors. The league would be pretty boring if the bottom 2/3 were basically Championship level. Unless a European Super League comes about at some point (God forbid), the stronger the PL is from top to bottom, the better for United.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Time to lock this thread!
Oh well. Inevitable since long now.
4,885 posts later and another Caf' transfer muppet saga comes to a dissapointing end.
Pfft, he's a load of rubbish anyway...

We all had a good run in this thread.
So Cesc at Arsenal for another year then.
Now how are we going to cope on the right wing and up front without Sanchez?!?!??
Nope, Barcelona have the money for Fabregas.
Not bothered about Sanchez going there. He's been dead to me for a while. Not getting Sneijder would hurt.
Barca are already way out front so I don't think he'll improve them as such. But they aren't standing still so they'll be way out infront for a long time yet.
Finally it's over. This one's been dragging on for too long. Barca's depth in attack is almost unfair and they ain't finished yet.
Now on to the Cesc one.
Now on to the Cesc one.
And that's the damnable misery of it.
It's great not to be Real Madrid right now.
Welcome to the bench, Alexis.
He is easily good enough to compete with Pedro and Villa.
Is he as good as the the Spanish 20 goal a season duo?
How the hell did they get him for 26m
Possibly.
But I think he's more likely going to be competing with Affelay for a warmer spot on the bench.
Plus variables.
