Other clubs' transfers

Ah, right. So loaning two players worth about £30-40m combined means he didn't strengthen then. 

 

What planet are you on?  Sabitzer's fee to make permanent is £18m so both players combined is about £18m

 

Call it arrogance or call it whatever you want, we're a big enough club that the manager should be able to go out and buy a striker in January and not have to loan players who couldn't even make it at Burnley. We were in all competitions and needed more players. We had lost Ronaldo and were saving £2m a month in wages. Zero excuses.

[Collage]

Mac Allister to Liverpool is grim, really like him.

[Sempiternal]

45/60/35m Is “huge investments? “. Arsenal got 3 players for that 65m, whereas ETH spunked 100m on one at the start of the season. It’s completely disingenuous nonsense. Liverpool played a significant amount of games with Curtis Jones, and Harvey Elliott.

 

The fact he’s constructing some sort of “poor old us underdogs beat the odds ?” narrative is complete nonsense

MacAllister in the Henderson role. Liverpool’s midfield has desperately needed a bit of a revamp for a couple of seasons now. They’ve seemed pretty  lazy make shift signings during that time. They could do another signing in midfield to go along with MacAllister.

Fred to Fulham ?

Martinez wants out of Villa for a CL club.  Reckon manure should go for him to see out de gea.

Says who? Football Insider?

[Astroblack]

Mac Allister’s like a better version of Wijnaldum. He’ll do well there.

Remember, the narrative is the glazers are terrible owners who don’t spend money, as bad if not worst than Ashley. 

 

 

It’s a completely fair narrative. They’ve taken something like a billion out the club. Fair enough they have spent loads on transfers. They’ve spent it on shit though which ultimately is down to the ownership. The stadium, training facilities and club infrastructure in general is lagging behind what a club like Manchester United should have. The Glaziers are thief’s pure and simple.

They’ve also generated billions in revenue whilst making sure they kept up spending with the biggest clubs in the world. You clearly don’t recall how Ashley ran is if you believe they are at all comparable. 

[Rafalove]

I didn’t mention Ashley. Though they are comparable. The major difference being the Glaziers actually having the sense to grow the clubs income. This is nothing special though as Manchester United have always been one of the clubs with the highest revenue, and have arguably the largest fanbase in the world.

 

 

I mean Sir John Hall is the most successful owner we have had since the fifties, but a lot of fans still don’t like him because he took money out the club. Sums which would be absolute peanuts compared to what the Glaziers took out in the hundred of thousands realm if I’m not mistaken.

Thomas Frank said David Raya is available for £40mil

 

They've just signed a Dutch keeper too to replace him

[Guest]

He's come a long way. Looked dodgy as owt at Blackburn.

 

Spurs or Man Utd maybe?

[MrRaspberryJam]

Kid Icarus and Manxst like this. Incredibly disappointing yet incredibly predictable. 

 

Once again, I don't know if people are just ignoring the article by continuely referencing summer transfers, but the quotes were directly about the winter transfer window. I said about the £65m Arsenal spent because it was spent on reinforcements in January. 

 

In April we were still in every competition. We were 5 behind Arsenal in the league at one point. Fatigue and injuries played a massive part in us fading in both the league and the Europa League. Rashford has been carrying a knock for weeks and the goals have dried up. Martial is never fit. Garnacho, Eriksen, Martinez all with long term injuries. Newcastle went and spent £45m+5m on Gordon to bolster the top four charge, we signed Wout Weghorst.  Embarrassing. NWe were one injury to Fernandes away from 6th place. 

 

Ten Hag asked for Antony when he was half the price by the way. Referencing that transfer just reinforces our point about our incompetent board. 

 

Also unsure about the Elliot and Jones comments. Jones played more last season for Liverpool than this season and Elliot is one of their stars for the future. 

 

This is all so basic to understand. It's incredible how some genuinely good posters let bitterness and hatred of a club turn them into cartoon versions of themselves.

Arsenal, City, Liverpool and Spurs were favourites ahead of us to get into the top four by the way. We quite literally beat the odds. 

 

People need to stop thinking of us Sir Alex Ferguson's Man United. We're not that. Not even close.

So about £250-300m after sales maybe? Yet we're the ones spending extortionately.
