The old Man Utd Thread

[spork]

There is a big anti glazer protest at old Trafford tomorrow so they might announce it all then maybe?

[ckny]

Beeb are reporting it’s done, not on any of the club’s social media channels yet though.

[Gabzy]

 

FINALLY official. 

 

Now bring on the rest of the deals in quick succession, please.

He (Rooney) has found his level. Fair do's, the clips you post are great - even Sanchez has had a couple of decent moments in the last year. I'm as happy as anyone for Rooney, but let's remember he's playing in MLS.

 

Yeah. He seems to be playing in half as many games as he did for United, plus he is playing in a team with a lot of younger, less skillful guys who will take a lot of the physical burden off him. Plus I'm sure the refs protect their star players, and if he gets a knock they'll sub him off quick. I'm sure Sanchez would look like a world beater in the MLS too - it's the perfect environment for a player with experience at the top level but in physical decline.

If the lethargic way they’ve conducted this signing is anything to go by, we can probably expect a couple of signings sometime in the next decade!

[Gabzy]

I really like how down to Earth he seems. Sure he’ll keep his head down, get stuck in and do great things.

[Gabzy]

So the squad flies to Australia today for pre-season action! We still have Pogba and Lukaku, Mino Raiola being his usual dickhead self, and we still haven’t signed any midfielders or centre-backs. Business as usual, lads!

[feltmonkey]

Also, Sanchez is injured.  He's done his hamstring playing for Chile. 

 

The club apparently don't know where Pogba is. 

 

Things are going great!  

[Gabzy]

 

 

Just gets better!

[spork]

Pogba is traveling with the squad to Oz according to a reliable person on Reddit.

Boo! Literally pointless him being there with his negativity.

[Guest]

Has Pogba actually said or acted negative though, or is it all paper talk? 

[Baring]

That is such a poor squad list.

It's his fucking agent wanting another big fat pay day.

The majority of last season?

[DC Lemon]

Pogba is on film saying he thinks it’s time for a new challenge.

 

That’s the kind of thing Ronaldo or Messi can say. Chelsea fans can’t begrudge Eden Hazard for seeking a new challenge either. Pogba hasn’t come close to earning the right to say that with a straight face.

[Steely]

A new challenge! 

 

If United can get anywhere near £100m they should snap Madrids hands off.

 

As a neutral I really hope he gets his Madrid move, because those fans will turn on him in a heartbeat and it will be hilarious to see.

 

That squad above though, fucking hell that looks very poor.

 

Realistically though...even if you are thinking very ambitiously, who would you United fans like to bring in?

 

Centre half?

Maguire

Koulibaly

Nacho

Diop

 

Midfield?

Ndidi

Bruno Fernandes

Rakatic

Savic

Longstaff

Tielemans

Erikson

Isco

 

Attack?

Bale

Richarlison

Pepe

Ben Yeddar

Cavani

Diego Costa

Filipe Anderson

 

I've just plucked some names out the sky, which I think is how news papers do their own transfer news.

 

Also when dreaming of transfers, lets ignore the fact Ed Woodward is in charge...

[Gabzy]

 

Yup, no negativity/aggro going on at all. I’m sure the lads are delighted to have him there!

[JamesTW]

Spat on the floor aswell, but its impossible to know what it was about, could just be he said his new trainers look shite....

[spork]

To be fair, he probably just said that him and Rashford dress like twats.

 

[JPL]

Does anyone actually like Pogba?

[Mr Do 71]

Not really.

I'm torn. I wore turtlenecks back in the 90's but back then it was the shit. These lads have enough money to get professional fashion advice so is there any excuse....at all?

 

 

 

I hate the fact that Ole wants Pogba, Pogba is a mercenary and hes not loyal. Pogba should go to Madrid and face the consequences.

I imagine if we turn around and say he's not wanted his price drops a lot right away. If we pretend we still want him then we get Madrid to pay a lot more if they actually want him.

[Chooch]

Its alright lads, we are going to sign Bakayoko from Chelsea.

Again, they could be best buds for 99.9% of the time but that doesn't make news.
