I mean, we are supposedly spending 85 million and 250k+ a week on a 19 year old centre back
We clearly have money, the problem is we don't really know how to spend it...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Indeed. That's probably the biggest problem.
He’s not just a 19 year old CB, he’s potentially one of the greatest CBs ever.I mean, we are supposedly spending 85 million and 250k+ a week on a 19 year old centre back

Such transfer would be a tremendous statement from the club, and could well end up being the most important transfer we’ve made since SAF retired.
And managers we hire who don't know how to make use of the players at their disposal.I mean, we are supposedly spending 85 million and 250k+ a week on a 19 year old centre back

Won't need him when we sign De Ligt
Sitting on the bench and watching the master Chris Smalling at work will work wonders for his development.
So according to the latest tweets, we're offering:
Ajax 70m
Raiola 12m
De Ligt 350k
Well. At least it's not in the Glazer's pockets.
If you get this done Woody, all is forgiven!!
We'll even forgive you for insisting that Jones and Smalling are as good as Godin, Maguire, Alderweireld and Boateng!

Oh that’s surprising to hear. He’s signed Falcao, Di Maria, Schweinsteger, Schneiderlin, Pogba, Fred, Lukaku amongst others...
He's signing for United wtf. This is exactly like the Pogba rumours. We all thought he'd be off to City, Barca, or Madrid. Multiple sources came out saying Pogba didnt want United etc etc.
United are signing De Light.
United are signing De Light.
And we have improved fantastically over recent years.

He signed superstars that the managers wanted. Whether they worked out is not his fault really is it?

It is actually because surely he must know that signing football players and judging how good they actaually are is not exactly in his line of expertise.
To be fair Fjørtoft knows nothing.
oBVIOUSLY NOT POSTED PROPERLY
I dont give a feck. I'll read what I want to and that is De Ligt to Man Utd is happening!
Go away please. You’ve been told enough times.
What do you think of Ed Woodward?
We already gave Raiola £16m for the Pogba deal (a deal he personally made £41m from) - you'd think he'd give us a discount here.
feck off.
Acorrding to Juve's financial reports, we never paid Raiola agent fee, Juve did.
exactly what I wish he would do.
Proactiveness and scouting is key to keep the team at higher level, the board lacks this for sure under Woodward.
If this does happen, with the price and wages being quoted, the pressure on this kid (and he is very much still a kid) is going to be absolutely unreal. I hope he’s got some balls
They paid him £23m (out of the transfer fee). We paid him a further £16.39m (in five installments).
Woodward is our biggest problem, and so long as people cannot see this the situation is going to get a lot worse than it is now
There is 0% chance of us signing De Ligt. But Woody will drag it out throughout summer, Barca will up their offer last minute, City will sign Maguire, Napoli will refuse to sell Koulibaly and we'll be stuck at the end of the window with Woody briefing that we had 100m to spend on a CB but heading into a 9th seaaon with Smalling and Jones as viable starters for the club. Don't think for a minute that Woodward is anywhere near capable of not getting mugged off by other players and agents to get a better deal elsewhere.
Jesus, the De Ligt to United deal will be hitting £1bn in the papers by the end of next week.
Ok boss.
And we are brilliant on the pitch without a doubt.
The '0%' bit is a bit of a crazy thing you say right now but the rest of his post is distinctly possible. Just because we're in the midst of another transfer saga and everybody is excited, you can't forget everything that came before. We have previous for being led up the garden path under Woodward - Godin, Ramos, Muller etc.
Can this guy be banned from here? @Damiem
I love this place around transfer window. It’s more cultish than the NSDAP.
Unfortunately United have become a cash cow for people who have very little interest in winning trophies. They just want to gain cash, and legally they have every right to do so. Manchester United is no longer a club looking to win trophies. Manchester United is a club looking to win money for it's owners and that is the sad fact.
asking for people to be banned though...cringy!

I can't blame Barça. It's a staggering wage and they don't need him that bad
