need cover for rooney he will do his usual disappearing act soon

rvp has hardly played 4 a year as it is

cant see how signing 1 of the top 3 strikers in the world is a panic buy

its about time we started buying the finished article

united chucking the money around seems to have put a few noses of joint

You've signed Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Suarez or Diego Costa?!

my top 3 would be zlat suarez n falcao - top 5 then???


edit - hes still not signed yet anyway

signed rojo hes part of the back of 3 / shaw back 5

city broke ffp n won the league whos there financial managers






City have losses of £556m in the last 6 years. Oil money, not funded by debt which is the way the Glazer family fund Man U and i think non recourse losses too, unlike the debt

The whole of top end English football is seeing a massive transfer from TV companies via the clubs to players and agents.

so in that arms race Man U compete but are miles behind in terms of getting the right squad/rebuild of the last good ferguson team and starting with the debt mountain. not good



what do you want the clubs to spend all the money on they are getting??

750m kit deal they signed last month - united are of the few clubs that generate there own money if the debts getting serviced whats the problem.

Is it possible that a 'Leeds' could actually happen to Manure?  Even a 1% chance if no champs league football for 2/3/4 years?

You could certainly argue it is a trophy asset and might change ownership again

Did Man U just pretend to be signing Radamel Falcao, just so that Arsenal couldn't get him - and would have to settle for taking Danny Welbeck off their hands instead?!? #conspiracytheory

Thought that was pretty funny.

Bye bye Kagawa, Hernandez and Welbeck.

Young, Anderson, Fellaini still around.

Can any United fans on here give me their thoughts on the transfer window and their squad for the new season? As good as Falcao is, Blackett is still in the team...

Think this notion of building a team is a luxury in the english prem today. As a manager you have about 5mins flat to prove yourself before being marched out the door. Moyes was doing all that planning for the future jazz, lot of work on youth development, and how did that go down? Or players just bog off to a better deal elsewhere flushing your plans down the toilet.

What happened here is Woodward or whoever bowled up to LVG and goes "We can get Radamel Falcao...you want him?" and LVG goes "Huh, yeah ok". That was the strategy.

These days the manager isn't involved in finances so doesn't rightly care about the $$. And woodward knows a couple of hero goals and the shirt sales from China cover the wages. And LVG knows Falcao could help him make it to the end of the season. Yep, the romance of building a team is quite a luxury with the demands for instant gratification today.

You are right as far as the recent United strategy is concerned but I don't think that is the case as far as Chelsea and City are concerned. Both clubs have had defined strategies as to what they need and gone about their business accordingly. This is in contrast to United's scattergun approach over the last 12 months.

"I really want to bring the championship here to the people of Man United," he said.
"Every manager loves recognition and appreciation. But you also need a bit of luck.
"I have been lucky in the beginning of my career. Ajax wanted to sack me halfway in my first season at the club. But they kept believing in me - and look what happened."

That explains the bad start to season van gaal has told the players he wants them to experience the championship so they are just following orders

Any United fans out there interested in a match bet Welbeck versus Falcao.  I want to take Welbeck either plus some goals or decent odds against off scratch.
