Players would want to fecking play for us if we sign big players and compete. feck Woodward and feck this narrative, pay up.
Yep. You have to entice the first one here with big money, but after that, once you start performing, players come for the chance to play for United.
Look at City. Back in 2009 they were a joke, they had to over pay for players. A few years later and players are going to play to win.
We need to spend big. Piss poor management of the club has put us in this position so let's grit out teeth and cough up the money the better players want.
We've just payed £80million for a defender and have the chance to get a very very good attacker as part of a swap deal for Lukaku and we are crying about wages... Get the feck out of here.
Dybala may not have had his heart set on United but as a professional footballer he would have quickly got with the plan. I seriously doubt many players are as feeble as Di Maria was and we need to stop comparing targets to him.
I want the kids to get minutes and succeed as well, but we absolutely have room for a Dybala or player of that level in the squad. Chances are if it didn't work out we would get good money for him a year or two later. He's 26, not 30+.
I was just starting to look forward to the season...
