Just waiting for the nod to start melting.
3 out of 10 window and the clock is ticking
I've already said what Im doing. In fact Ive been doing it for over a year. What about you? Where do you sit in the ground so we can spot you![]()
It’s not. For one, it’s unclear how they’ll fit them into their 3-4-3. Especially is sesko arrives. They’ll be looking for all three players to gel and hit the ground running and it’s not the most balanced. That will impact their midfield too.It’s much better business than we’ve done. Two star players their clubs wanted to keep desperately putting up incredible numbers.
I like Kudus but never in a million years do we get him after the good season. We get him after the interest has dropped off and there is more doubt around him + when the club have to sell.
We’re a fucking hyena of a club. Wait for the lions to have their fill and then scarper off with a bit of the zebras arse in your gob.
There’s no defending the lack of movement post MGW debacle but some of the shit on here is hilariously hypocritical.
Solanke - 65m - “Not good enough to lead our front line”
Mbuemo - 75m - “Rivals are just lapping us we’re not a serious club”
I'm so sorry to be so pedantic but I just can'tBefore the group you mentioned, our return towards the top end of the table under Jol was also spearheaded by a core of young British players - Robinson, Dawson, King, Carrick, Lennon, Keane, Defoe, and errr, Davenport, Davis, Routledge, Reid, Bent...

Odd running style as well, which I think doesn't help.
For the price they want, not for me.

He bet our entire future, and his wages, on FFP in various forms, one day regulating the opposition to below us.Levy is just the wrong owner. Did you see his podcast with Neville? He really believes he's running the only "sustainable" club in the PL.
Well, I'll happily wager him that Liverpool, City, Chelsea and others will still be there in 10 years time, and will have won more over the next 10 years than us. "Sustainable" or not.
Its all about opinions. I dont think our signings have improved us on what we had last season and with Maddison gone for the season we are arguably worse. But fair to say we will very soon find out. Hope youre right and I'm wrong.The bed wetting on here is horrendous.
We have signed two first team upgrades which would have been 3 had BigMacwithfriesanakis not dropped his Happy Meal. We will get at least the 3rd with the MGW money. 3 first team upgrades? I’m not going to say that’s unprecedented but it’s highly unusual. Tel may or may not be a 4th upgrade (versus a declining Son, not a prime Son)
Most people on here were saying if Son stayed for next year he would have been a sub to Tel/Odobert to maybe impact the game late. So his departure is not a significant event for our 25/26 season, albeit it is a significant event in our history given his past service. I bet the same people who are crying that we haven’t signed a replacement yet are the same people in match threads saying “Son is shit. Next game start Odobert / Tel / Moore”
Even if we signed Eze and Rodrygo this week half of you would be throwing yourselves to the floor in a tantrum saying “where’s our backup LB/LCB Levy, you cheap bald git!”.
I hate this place sometimes.

Also, lads it’s United. They do this every year and if you watch football you know they’re shit.
Also, RW and a 6 were two areas everyone was screaming for us to improve. And we clearly have.
We have some psycho fans
I do exactly whatI live abroad, so i dont have the privilege of attending all the home matches.
Sorry if I missed what you're doing. Would love to help support whatever it is.
Notice how we were the sole club in for Solanke whereas Mbuemo had a multitude of suitors. Notice how he scored more from the wing than Solanke from CF as well as getting a whole bunch of assists. Notice how he had numerous productive prem seasons under his belt vs one.
Some of you just don’t get it. It’s not the transfer fee spent. Richarlison was expensive. Nobody else wanted him.
Mbeumo is a better player than Solanke. He just is. I don’t mind Solanke, he’s a good premier league CF. Mbuemo is a TOP PL winger.
What is this the fucking hunger games?"Monitored but unclear if he's currently considered an active target" is the shittest update from a journalist that's possible. That is not news in the slightest.

In fairness Chelsea reportedly tried to hijack Richarlison and Kudus
Fuck knows if those reports were true but fuck knows if anything is true
One of the worst things about the transfer window is the perception about high fees = elite players. Sonny was 22m. Club Legend. 60m for Richarlison and he's been average. 65m for Solanke and the jury is still out.The bed wetting on here is horrendous.

22M in those days was comparable to the 55M we paid for Kudus, in fairness. 30M for Lamela was the club record fee at that time.One of the worst things about the transfer window is the perception about high fees = elite players.
