One player I really wished we signed in the summer is Alexis Sanchez , I'd say we were in for him aswell but he wanted a London club , he would very much be a Lvg type player too , can you imagine him and di Maria on either side in a 433 , is there any other right sided player we could go for as good scores as many goals and is available , robben is probably even better but he's too old now and settled at bayern , perhaps cuadrado ?
I'd say mata is def gone in the summer , Rooney will be our number 10 and Januzai his understudy , I reckon a move for Vidal or more likely strootman is most def on the cards

Nani

Worst comes to worst we get a nice fee for him next summer.

Confidence seemed to has returned to his game with a run in that Sporting side. We could see the player of 3 years ago next season hopefully.

Funny how that works, isn't it.

What's the general consensus on Mata? Everytime I've seen United play this season, which isn't as much as you lot, he's been anonymous at best and it's hard to see what he offers the team.

The new Torres...

Ah Stop!

You can point to a nice pass or through ball here and there, but the simple fact is that Mata has not performed nearly enough, especially not for somebody who needed to stake a place when Rooney was out suspended.

Apologies if it wasn't him but I'm 90% certain I've seen super_furry post that more than once.

Ah fair enough then.

He's like a dog with a bone actually, doubt there would be any point trying to convince him otherwise... Even though Mata has a much better goal ratio and he's not even a striker, that's how bad Torres was for Chelsea.

The Moldy Gowl · 28-10-2014 09:36AM

Haha was just about to do that as well.

super_furry · 28-10-2014 09:37AM

So four posts criticising him in games where he's been poor and two comparisons to Torres? Hardly a 'dog with a bone'. As I said I haven't seen him as much as United fans which is why I asked here.

The Moldy Gowl · 28-10-2014 09:40AM

4 of your last 4 posts about man utd, after allegedly not watched him, in match threads.

He's no Torres anyway, that's for sure.

RobertKK · 28-10-2014 09:40AM

Some speculation/rumour that United will make a bid for Ezequiel Garay in January.
Yes we heard that before...

They were all in the one week and then you say you haven't seen him that much???

True, I think a lot of the little things Mata does in games gets lost on people though. It doesnt have to be spectacular but simple and efficient. Mata can only improve with the new system and better calibre of player.

I dont see him leaving either, were a top club and we need 2 world class players in every position. Madrid have James, Isco, Bale ect fighting for the spot in the team there's no reason we shouldn't have Rooney, Mata and Jan doing similar.

FFS, super_furry is allowed to have an opinion you know.

Two or my last 10 actually after watching televised games. Not all games are televised surprisingly enough.

Two games isn't all that much.

Anyway, sorry I bothered now. Wasn't aware that asking a group of supporters an opinion on a player would get you so up in arms.

I was happy just to leave it at "the new Torres" post which was just a jokey reply to yourself, it seems it needed explaining though.

Except that's nonsense isn't it? The posts you refer too were expressing an opinion on a match thread not a discussion thread, one of which was responded to by a United fan.

Anyway as this is going nowhere and becoming increasingly off topic, I'll leave it there.

we released a report on our financials last night and Andy Green has summarised it -

Andy Green @andersred ·
Hopefully sorry mess of last two years will teach Woodward and the Glazers about the importance of long-term investment.

Andy Green @andersred ·
Total @manutd staff costs £214.8m up 19% vs. last year. #value

Andy Green @andersred ·
The executive management team at @ManUtd (EW etc) were paid £7.78m in 2013/14. #value

Andy Green @andersred ·
So @ManUtd spent £118,597,000 on transfers post 1st July 2014.

Andy Green @andersred ·
#MUFC net transfer spend since 1st July 2014 £92.8m

Andy Green @andersred ·
Given that @ManUtd had £66m in the bank at 30th June 2014, you have to assume the club used its bank facility on those transfers.

Andy Green @andersred ·
People asking about @ManUtd's bank facility. The club have a £75m facility, bit like an overdraft. Am sure it's been used over the summer.

Andy Green @andersred ·
Have said before that @ManUtd transfer spend is affordable. Cash profits still over £90m despite no CL and before Adidas deal.

considering the shocking season we had last year, its an absolute farce that our wage bill was so high - we really need to work on our contract negotiations and put minimum performances into players deals.

also nice of the board to pay themselves just under £8million for a year.

He's not impressed me, especially with Rooney out the last few games where he should have been trying to cement a starting place.
He's more than likely going to be dropped for the city game next week.
Although to his credit he was slightly improved against Chelsea but nothing spectacular and he has scored goals for us since signing.
But not once have I said 'wow that was amazing'.

Will I Amnt · 28-10-2014 10:12AM

M!ck^ has it fairly spot on there. Mata has been decent but nowhere near the levels we wanted or expected. Torres was plain sh*te since the day he left Liverpool, there's no comparison.

I fricking love this guy, such a buzz from the crowds reaction each time - http://vimeo.com/110233162

I would have loved if Fellaini scored from the header though.
