We must buy the next Messi

[nick2004]

Watching Barca play cat-and-mouse with City, I realized that they have bought their best players: Suarez, Neymar, even Messi himself.

Man Utd is the richest football club in the world. We should identify and buy the best players in the world. That's how we'll be as good or better than Barca and Real. There is no other way. We cannot expect to produce this type of talent. We have to identify it and buy it.

I know that we are not used to operate like this. Perhaps the reason was that SAF did not like to work with super-star players. Or he did not like to spend. Or the owners did not give him money. We don't know the truth but it does not matter any more. Things have changed.

We are the richest club in the world but we cannot expect to get anywhere with Evans and the likes we have been producing during the past decade. We have to spend a lot and buy the best players. Di Maria is a start but he is not enough.

 

[Steven Seagull]

Excellent

 

[Rado_N]

I bet Woody hasn't even thought about this.

 

[Hojoon]

Cool.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

I'll take two of them.

 

[Raw]

Feck me someone tell the scouts, they've been after the next Djemba-Djemba all these years.

 

[RedRover]

So we just identify all the best young players, buy them and be brilliant?

Give that man a gold star.

 

[17Larsson]

I don't think we should buy the next Messi

 

[thegregster]

We couldn't have signed Messi. Even if he was mad keen on joining us because of a work permit.

As a general rule stealing kids from other clubs is a good way to go in football terms. I don't really think its very ethical though. I think FIFA needs to ban transfers of players under 18.

 

[RexHamilton]

We should buy the next George Best too.

 

[Eboue]

We should identify and buy the best players in the world.

That's so crazy it just might work!

True don't want someone who left footed as the can't take pens also a player who can't head the ball

 

[MTR]

Does Aaron Ramsey still have -10 potential on FM?

[Rado_N]

We should buy the next Xavi and Iniesta whilst we're at it. No use half-arsing these things.

 

[17Larsson]

I don't think we should buy the next Xavi or Iniesta either

 

[Raw]

Sack Van Gaal too, let's get the next Fergie in.

 

[Raoul]

Would you like fries with that ?

 

[ivaldo]

I like also think that we should, you know, try to get the most money from sponsors than anyone else does. That way we would have more money than anyone else does.

 

[RedRover]

This is what my Wife would come up with if she was appointed Director of Football.

In some bizarre alternative universe.

I'm going to bed now.

 

[matherto]

Can we not just whack in a massive bid for the current Messi?

 

[Unlikely lad]

 

[Glanville95]

You know, I think you might just be on to something here. Someone get the CEO on the phone pronto.

 

[PvsNP]

We should get the next De Gea as well. Too soon?

 

[slir32]

I was going to say Raoul but then got a craving for a Big Mac instead.

 

[Eriku]

As a Norwegian, I'm obliged to say that we missed that boat when Ødegaard went to Real.

 

[Kostur]

Agree, Messi up front will be better than Evans.

That my friend is top city whizz kid CEO talk right there. How much do you want - the jobs yours.

As someone not from Norway, I'm obliged to lol

 

[Señor]

We should also try to be good at football. Also, I've got another idea. Let's win the treble.

 

[Ringo 07]

If Moyes was still here we'd have bought 3 of the new Massimo Taibi's by now and would be playing them as forwards even though they were all goalies

[Mali_Zeus]

Great stuff, would read it again.

We dodged a bullet then.

Am I on RAWK?

We did that with Ronaldo. Only for him to give his prime years to Real Madrid!

 

[Classical Mechanic]

You don't need Messi when you are producing players like T Clev and Welbz, oh wait, I thought this was 2012 for a minute there.

Great plan for an 11 year old.

 

[Danny1982]

What a thread. And this line...

No offense to the OP, but wtf man.

 

[MTR]

We must buy the next Messi and not sell him to Real Madrid.

Mods, change the name of this thread, please. @Damien @Raoul
