Said it before, but that chancer Spiv's transfer policy is like a thirteen year old playing FIFA.
Hopefully this summer, we'll be able to snap up some youth prospects ahead of them.

Not really a chancer, as he only gets deals over the line after over paying. Martial is a prime example, he could have been had for £20m but they ended up spending £35m+ WTF? Instead of buying marquee names they could have got decent upgrades with some proper scouting. I have faith in Poch and Mitchell to get players we need in, not just identifying 'name' players.
Sorry, by 'chancer' I meant that he was promoted to his position when David Gill left, and I think that was a bad decision by the club owners.
But oh yeah. That Martial transfer was hilariously transparent in its desperation - obvious that they were forced into moving for somebody because why else would they wait until he'd signed a new contract with Monaco?
His experience was signing big marketing deals with Nike. Not sure if he'd actually had any experience of agents and players. The season of Moyes showed how much of an amateur he is at getting deals over the line, the Fellani one springs to mind.
And remember the fake agent hilarity over Herrera!
Manchester United still baffled by Ander Herrera transfer farce
Not going to lie, had to be careful when Googling 'fake agent' just then.
Funny how they went back for Herrera the following season!
Their scattergun approach to signings is mental especially after Old red nose used to like promoting youth as well as the odd marquee signing.
They have spunked well over £250m on a load of shite, but now playing better with kids that cost not much.
The tragedy is that their reputation is so lucrative they won't even suffer for their horrendous mismanagement.
How much was that Adidas deal worth? £400m?
They must be livid at the shitshow they backed.
Edit: Jesus wept it was £750m...
Manchester United agree new £750million sponsorship deal with Adidas
On form I guess that means we'll be getting Nike to pay us a billion after our current deal with UA runs out.
Right?
Perfect picture for the caption I might add.
or the fellaini signing. had a buy out clause that was due to expire. waited until 2 weeks after and paid 5 million more
Fandenail gonna be funny as fuck Monday morning

Still hope they beat West Ham this week mind.
I like this guy!
A friend of mine who is a United fan thinks they'll sack LVG when Champions League becomes mathematically impossible (as opposed to waiting until Summer).
Oh God, how funny would it be for them to actually keep him?
that is just incredible
