Mod note 31-Aug-18

CMod note:

It has come to my attention that this thread is attracting more than it's fair share of trolling.

It has to stop.

Any pot-shots or derogatory remarks will be dealt with harshly.

I will be monitoring reported posts from time to time so troll at your peril.

Think of the Dirty harry scene before you post - "you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?"

Thanks for reading.

Steve.

Anyway...

[Alasdair Gold - Tier 2 Tottenham] Spurs expected to make late move for Martial amidst United Alderweireld interest.

I rarely post here especially as it often resembles a playground with some of the name calling and I don't have the will or the time to get involved in that sh1te. But I'm old enough to very clearly remember the early Fergie days and all I can say is there are some very spoiled children around...

Anyway for what it's worth I have a lot of respect for Mourinho and what he has achieved on the pitch over the years. But the man is toxic and I can only see all of this ending in tears. I'm very aware that the club has 'progressed' in terms of league finish last season but it's very difficult to get behind a man who undermines his players in public the way he has. Mourinho has sucked the life out of this great club and every time United lose a game the pressure will increase tenfold. Should Liverpool prove to be City's main challengers I think this will prove too much for most fans.

I honestly hope he proves me wrong and I'll hold my hands up if he does. Maybe it's all much more relaxed at the club that it appears to be. But all the evidence is pointing to a major meltdown over the next few weeks or months.

My thoughts exactly. A solid month at this stage of the same post over and over again.

Has it been a month ? I thought it was longer to be honest . .

[Stone] My understanding Paul Pogba has not been asking for more money from @ManUtd on the back of Alexis Sanchez. Club stance remains as it was, no intention of selling. (Tier 1 on r/reddevils)

Tier 1, Tier 2. Whats that all about then ?

Woodword and the Glaziers are a ****ing stain on our great club, all they care about is business. Finishing in the top 4 is good enough because it generates profits, the extra cash we might get by winning the PL or CL is offset by the cash they would have to invest to make us competitive enough to have a chance of doing it and since there are no guarantees they wont bother . Jose gives them the best chance of finishing in the Top 4 because of his pragmatic style. Id love to wake some morning to hear they have all been killed in a plane crash

Should really be a lol option on boards

Tell us how you really feel

Might avoid relegation if we are very lucky.

Just wait for the sky to fall in on United on Friday, maybe only a 2-0 win, rather than a 4-0 win.

Look at United spending £15mil less on two defenders that Liverpool spent on one player in the same position . .

The cost of Mina prohibitive ? As in the club cant afford it ?

If that tweet is to be believed, maybe we should have a whip around since the club is apparently struggling to find the funds to get in top players/targets ?

Re signings. United have the money. As I understand it, they don't want to be drawn into paying big transfer and agents fees for players who are no better than the ones they have.

29 isn’t bleedin the end, it’s exactly what we need, an older head in defence. Getting 3-4 good years out of Alderweirald is worth 60m easily..

Stupid that the club won’t allow Jose to bring in much needed experience, it was probably the same with Willian, and Perisic.

Has a website and a huge following too.. he does be going mad at Journos for not crediting him with breaking news if they report something that he has done previously, he throws so much shît at the wall some of it will eventually stick

I follow him for the replies he gets on some of the posts, pure entertainment plus so many gullible people. One of the lads posted in the WhatsApp group seriously linking him and we threw him out of the group :pac:

Maybe I'm just being curmudgeonly, but am I the only that find's it a bit tiresome seeing it copied over to here?

I mean I think most people have an idea of what sources are just making stuff up and which ones occasionally get stuff right. Not to mention the fact that there isn't the same posting format here as Reddit where you'd have to click into a thread to see if it was BS or not, nor is there the same footfall here that's likely to post random news anyway.

I still think we'll panic buy Maguire. Leicester closing in on Soyuncu for £20m. They just signed Evans to partner Maguire so if they are after another they must expect Maguire to go.

Bit of a joke if we're only willing to sign players based on resale value. May as well just resign ourselves to taking our place as a feeder club in that case.

How about going for players that are better than what they have?

Like...I fully get us eventually wanting to destroy the narrative that we overspend on everything. Clubs see us coming and jack up prices, and from a business perspective, I fully get why they'd want to cut that out.

But from a fan perspective, it was utterly the wrong year to do it, and probably the wrong manager to have as well. Everyone knew Jose's transfer policies would be short term, older but efficient now players. And the board seem to have shifted this summer away from that mindset, without also looking for a more efficent manager to help carry out that plan.

Its the sort of thing you can do when you're already established as a top team. Not what you do when you're trying to reassert dominance and are still a way off....
