Hey , United sold them for less with the hope of getting 10% from their sell on clause.... :mourpointlaugh:

Squad planning is quantum

Would absolutely hate to see Garnacho at the club. He plays with blinders on and has a poor attitude. More downside than upside imo. Could see him do well at a smaller club where he is "the man". Him thinking he is prime Ronaldo when he clearly isn't doesn't work in big clubs...
 
I had to Google her and, well, WOOF!

I thought it was some hipster joint in Old Compton Street.

That said, when her looks go south I'm sure Ms Rafaeli can earn a crust opening a chain of Bar Bars, much in the same way that Javier Bardem opened an establishment in Madrid called Bar Dem many moons ago.
Woof?

I do wonder why no one is really putting much attention on this.

They were a 1 point-per-game team under Amorim, and he's obviously starting the season with them, and as much as people have been obsessing over Mbuembo, they still have an awful defence, calamity keeper, and lack an effective set of forwards
After it all bogs down and they are trending towards relegation they can fire Amorim and bring in Postecoglou.
 
This is the Man United that sold:

- McTominay, who was basically Napoli's star player in his first season
- Elanga, who went on to be pretty good at Forest and is now a £55m newcastle signing (£40m profit in 2 seasons)
- Periera, who is arguable worth a good £25m+ now
- Alvaro Carreras for less than £5m to benfica last summer, who has just gone to Real Madrid for around ten times that

They will have sold some duds, but it's not like Man Utd are a stranger to binning off players that are good enough and do better elsewhere
I still can’t wrap my head around ManUre selling McTominay, and (in general) how they’ve handled Rashford.
 
Really not a priority. We need a LCB, LB, DM, CF even goalie before we need yet another winger.

Plus he looks like a right dickwad.
Agreed, we definitely don’t need Garnacho.

He’s not a better player than Kudus, Johnson, or Son, and I’m not even sure he’s any better than Tel or Odobert at the moment.

Every young man in Buenos Aires looks like this… the Argie lads love their thrice-weekly trip to la barbería.

I blame Beckham tbh.
 
The Rashford thing is clearly mostly a behind the scenes, player attitude thing.

But yeah, they were playing McTominay completely out of his best position and role for YEARS. They had no idea what they had in a player who made 255 appearances for them!
I’m convinced that Rashford rolling up to Trafford Training Centre in a new Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, etc. every other month has completely melted the ManUre hierarchy’s brains, and they decided to shoot themselves in the (collective) foot to prove some dumb point.
