He didn't say our recruitment wasn't fit for purpose, but our transfer policy. He was right, because we've paid for that policy the last three windows by not having the leeway to buy players and staying within PSR requirements.

Yes was stupidest thing about it Martinez had time enough to get back to goal tbh hojlund was never improvising a shot from there

Gasperini leaving Atalanta. End of an era territory.

Now let's hope they struggle to sell their existing players on big wages. Any sensible club would now wait until they become desperate to sell the likes of rashford

Our stadium is falling to bits and only two thirds the size of it. Their next one will be twice the size. We’ve not looked like winning the league for 20+ years. Wages for average players just an added attraction rather than a negative from a players perspective. Not sure how invested majority of players are in coaches. Our owners are hated in a different way worldwide. As much as I don’t like anyone losing their jobs it does sound like a cull was needed when you’ve body language experts on £175kpy! Yet they still nearly won a European trophy after winning a domestic cup in each of their last two seasons. I do hear your points and obviously they are nowhere where they were. However let’s not forget where we were less than 4 years ago. Will take a while before perceptions change.

Hojlunds touch was absolutely rank - took himself miles away from goal

St. James’ Park goes absolutely potty!

My manager! Saw Hodgson was awarded last year for managing 1250 games. Brucey’s trophy must have got lost in the post.

The last thing Man Utd need is a player with questionable character on massive wages. Yes he’s talented, but one of their biggest issues seems to be the mentality within the squad.

How will likely be our PL era manager who’s managed the most games by the end of next season. Class. I know it’s been said before but he achieved unprecedented things at Bournemouth and now here. Some boy.

Classic 'Arry

Imminent?

All the drama aside, its canny funny that Eddie came out from a serious illness suggesting he needs to manage his obsessiveness towards work for his own health. Is now Coach and Sporting director

Didn't listen to it myself, but Hope apparently said the recruitment plans will revert to Howe, Nickson and Andy. Also, the CEO appointment should make progress over the summer and the announcement of the stadium move is imminent.

Fuck sake

Howe did great with the transfers in when there was no sporting director.IMO we don't need one ,just a good chief scout with a good network.

Complications with AIDS I believe

Ooooh, don't you know?

The Garcia stuff is odd. I don't think it's agent noise because the main outlets, including Fab, keep pushing the Barca move. Only two sources have really reported it, one a local Espanyol journo and another chap who usually focuses on lower league transfers, but both have been really bullish about our chances. I wonder if we've lined it up as a potential back-up in case the Trafford move falls through.

Very high in the forum lore this one. Incredible stuff.

What made Mbiwa a freak and a weirdo?

Did he get perma'd?

I think it's alot simpler than that. Mitchell isn't one man scouring the world for talent. Look back to last summer when the press were telling us there was massive disharmony in the club. It's that.

This is what worries me. As much as Mitchell acted the dickhead with how he handled things he was right about being cost effective. Guehi is a mental signing. He's a decent center back and we almost paid 60 mil for him. Theres a million center backs who'd have within 5% of his impact for half the price or less. Teams around us have signed better for far less. Why would we keep Willock. If he got back to peak form he's still an injury prone player without the technical ability to bring us up a level. A RW, a CB, and 8/10, and a versatile forward are needed. Young squad players would be good. For that we'd want to be finding the absolute best value and reserving the 50-70 mil fee for a player who is going to be indispensable and near guarantee an extra 3-5 losses into draws/draws into wins. Right now Mbuemo is the only player it seems justified on. And those lads you mentioned need to upgraded if possible, downgrades off the bench when we need changes.
