They must be piling more debt on the club if they are paying that amount of wages to a few players. Even the really shite ones are on decent contracts. 

 

No CL this season yet they can still afford high transfer fees and wages without selling anyone. 

They turn over about 600m quid a year. They pay about 30m servicing debt don't they? And the rest is to piss up the wall on whatever shit player they fancy.

And some nice juicy dividends for the owners, of course. Long may they reign.

Very good Van Gall’s interview in France Football this week. 

 

His last sentence is as  great was You can get  : Bayern Munich has a great tradition of sports whereas Man United has just a business culture. 

[Chocoholic]

It's done...

 

 

Solksjaer: He's a great reader of the game.

 

I can only presume that means he owns a lot of books on the subject of football

[Strontium]

£80m for a central defender with the turning radius of a bus. The world has gone mad.

[JustTosh]

Harry Maguire? 80M? Wonder what no. in our CD pecking order he’d be? Behind all 3, VVD, Gomez and Matip? De Light was their original target wasn’t it?

Hopefully our agent inside Old T has now managed to use up their funds. so they’ll drop buying the one player I’d hate to see them get; Bruno Fernandes.

Yeah he isn't very complimentary of Utd at all.

That was actually the St. Helen's Glass slogan. Probably why they went bust.

Most likely because that little jingo could never compete with the Safestyle UK tax fraud fella. Call 0800 106 107 NOWWW! You know the one. 

[3 Stacks]

Anyone mentioned yet that Mourinho wanted him a year ago and had the club obliged they would have got him for far less money?

 

Funniest part of this transfer when the fact they bought a merely decent defender for a world record fee is already pretty damn funny.

[Chocoholic]

The fact they've paid the original asking price after all, having gone through the summer trying to negotiate and bargain, when they could have paid it and had him involved and integrated in their pre-season, is also pretty fucked up. There's no foresight, there, Bruce.

[Chip Butty]

[Barrington Womble]

The thing is, they can afford him and he improves them. Is he better than vvd? Of course not, but you can say that a out every centre back on the planet. But he's a massive uplift on anything they have and from memory has a decent injury record. I hate anything that improves them and he without doubt improves them.

Yeah, they've done fairly good business this summer and improved two key positions.  Whether the spunk goblin and get anything out them is another matter though.

And if he can't he'll be sacked by Christmas and they'll give someone else ago with better players than he inherited.

He improves them in the centreback position.

They're still dogshit in midfield, so I can't see him making that much of a difference.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I reckon United will do alright if their fitness is good. 

[Dr Nowt]

They’ve turned a bit of a corner this season in terms of players they’re after. It looks like someone who has an interest in football is making 1 or 2 of them.

 

The money is largely irrelevant unless they’re giving out Sanchez wages which destabilise the squad and attract further mercenaries, and it doesn’t seem like they are.

I am not sure they need to be good in midfield. i think they plan to sit deep and smash it long to rashford. i don't think they will be up to our level, but it is probably enough to get them top 4, especially with chelsea likely to struggle with fat frank and losing their best player. 

[Ginny]

The spunk goblin has made a few decent transfer I reckon. Obviously overpaid for slab ead and AWB. Now it’s all down to the goblin  

[El Rojo]

I reckon they'd actually do better if they got rid of Pogba and didn't replace him. Can't imagine Klopp or Guardiola indulging a 'personality' like that. 

 

Still, they'll have my full support in their two defeats matches against Manchester City.

[Section_31]

He won't last until Christmas, if that.
