Manchester United, that didn't last long. Seven up

[dwayne110]

Dazzler's transfer targets amused me tbh. We have  a huge transfer budget, we're United, so let's go out and pick up some Cardiff players cos they're getting relegated, like... it's the equivalent of having £100m to spend on Football Manager and going straight to the transfer list ☺️

Kagawa is a quality player who has been mismanaged to date fwiw, ask Klopp what he thinks about him!
Smalling - massive weak link as his retention of the ball is awful, undermines any possession based team, so dozy
Jones - I've watched him play some very good games this season, and a lot of iffy ones... Definitely worth persisting on, great utility player and I'd bet every one of the top four would snap him up if they had the option

How would it be 'amazing' for United to be challenging for the top four next season? I find the assumption many seem to have that United won't be contending for a few years baffling. This isn't the 80's/90's, you can buy your way out of trouble nowadays with the right players / manager. They could well have a similar season next year, although I'll be amazed if the next manager struggles quite as much as the serial record breaker David Moyes has.  But to suggest United finishing fourth would be an amazing event is laughable.

It didn't take much thought to anticipate Moyes would probably fail at Man U

I think LVG will be a hilarious failure if he gets the job. Serial achiever of just below expectation I'd say

could end up in the europa league here if were not careful!!

suppose we can win that and that gets you into the champions league

6/1 to win the League in 2014/15. If I were forced to bet on the winner, that's where my money would be, though 12/1 Arsenal tempts, too.

n an open letter on his website, Ferdinand said: "I have thought long and hard over the last few months about my future, and after 12 fantastic years playing for what I regard as the best club in the world, I have decided the time is right for me to move on.
"Circumstances didn't allow for me to say goodbye the way I would have liked but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my team-mates, staff, the club and the fans for an unbelievable 12 years that I'll never forget. Winning trophies I dreamed about as a kid came true at this great club.

Why do players say this?  No Rio the club decided it was time for you to move on and didn't offer you another contract not you.

'Circumstances didnt allow for me to say goodbye' = i was praying the club would offer me another year extension after the last game but they didn't.

Regardless he's been a great player and sad to see him go.

Really think we should persevere with Jones/Smalling/Evans and get new fullbacks. Rafael is a liability at times.

I take it that's a rhetorical question?

RIP Malcolm glazier.

United fans are already making me sick when I red about people cheering the death of the  owner of our football club. People really are brutal and sick.

As all six children are on the Man U board and he wasn't, i would think nothing will change

Some of the reactions yesterday were disgraceful. They may not think much of the man, fair enough, but he was someone's dad, grandad, husband first and foremost and a successful businessman too

Some people really show up the worst of themselves in these instances
