I thought Sancho, Zirkzee, Deligt, Ugarte, Onana and Hojlund were very good players before putting a United shirt on.United?!
Not saying they performed since.

TBF Regardless of whether someone rates them, they are signing from Brentford and Wolves. For both players they are sextupling their wages and joining a club that is (in the case of Cunha) still better at their worst.
I've never understood why Yanited need to bribe players so much money to join them. You'd think it'd be enough - if they were so attractive - to offer Cunha the same terms he's just signed at Wolves to play for them instead.
Not exactly like Birmingham is a lovely place to live, either.
We can attract that type of player. Just don't think we value them at £450,000 a week. Also think Solanke was exactly that type of player last year and scored more.
Stanley Matthew’s also played in the 40s
United more desperate than we are, a club of their size and history finishing 15th with zero trophies is beyond a disgrace.
they can ill afford finishing outside the top half again, they were beaten by us 4 times last season 9-3 on ag. their need will feel greater to push on, than it will for Levy who's line of thinking is probably
'if we had a better manager we'd have won the Europa and finished top 5 with the same squad'
the man u board however probably blame a shit squad rather than a shit manager at this point so they'll pay high prices and high wages to turn it around quickly
The point is simple, a 31 year old carries a greater risk of dropping off considerably compared to a 25 year old.
We’ve no idea what’s in store for Norgaard but the risk is definitely higher, it’s irrefutable
IMHO they’re all pretty bang average.
Sancho maybe flattered to deceive, but none of them really showed enough to warrant the bonkers transfer fees United paid.
But could he do it on a wet and windy night at the Britannia?
He is a 6 that doesn’t play 6 and couldn’t lock that position down for Leeds in the Championship or for Spurs worst ever performing PL side'cos he's a #6...?
I sort of know what you mean with Mbeulo, because if the boot were on the other foot, ie: another club could offer CL football + his newly installed former manager, who wouldn't JUMP at the chance? and we could have no complaints., but that's US this time!
So you either have to assume it's just money.... OR Mbeulo loves Man Utd SO much as it was his boyhood club, and THEY'RE the ONLY Big Club he's consider (shame Darren Bent didn't have the same principles!!!)
....don't worry... Eze's coming!
But other than that he is a 6
Then Levy is as thick as pig shit. Our squad has so many weaknessess it was not all just Ange had no clue and the fact that we do not have a second string is one of them it was a big reason we lost 22 Games.United more desperate than we are, a club of their size and history finishing 15th with zero trophies is beyond a disgrace.

theres currently 7 more attractive clubs in the league, chucking excess money about is all they can do right now. its good to watch, they are living dangerously.
This Mark Goldbridge?
.......
Our 'fanbase' believing what Goldbridge says!.....fml.....
Who cares?
The longer it goes the better our chances for Mbuemo if we want him!

It's like one dude who glazes Utd literally every Summer, weirdo.
I could understand it when QPR were signing players they had no right to (mark hughes era?) and paying them double their worth, but so backwards for united to be doing it whilst laying off general admin staff when claiming to need to for money reasons.
I'm sure it worked out for QPR though
if united dont overpay, why would any player go there? its a long way off from being how it was in 2010. they are also in a serious rut, you ainty going to risk going there unless you are being seriously caked up for it.
It's all personal opinion but I thought they were all very good players before they went there.
Sancho and Onana in the champions league the years previous were excellent. Deligt good enough for Bayern and Juve to see something, Zirkzee obviously a bit slow but technically excellent. Hojlund pacey strong and clinical.
Lyon have been relegated to Ligue 2, we could get a steal price on Georges Mikautadze.
This guy is underrated- Speedy, Skillfull, Ball carrying / 1 on 1's, crossing, Finishing, Long shots, decision making work ethic, Versatile, not a weak fooker either lol ... he's a nightmare for defenders

For a Zlatan or Casimiro yeah, but it's a bit sad for it to be with mid-to-lower table players that the current top 6 aren't interested in - again, regardless of quality, if it's "stay at wolves or sign for united... no please - we'll pay you 2 times your wages. Ok 6 times"
Just think we didn't use Johnson properly last season. There's definitely a player in there. He was the top scorer last season that alone proves he is a talent.
