Just waiting for the nod to start melting.

3 out of 10 window and the clock is ticking

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.
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.

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
 
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”

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.
 
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.
He bet our entire future, and his wages, on FFP in various forms, one day regulating the opposition to below us.
It hasn't and it never will.
 
You need to understand:

Baldcunt does an interview like that to gaslight you and make you feel guilty for not appreciating the multi-event stadium he's built to con you harder with.. and then immediately behaves like a scumbag in the window.

He has nothing but utter contempt for you.

He thinks you're a dumb herd of slop consumers.

He's a soulless abuse machine.

And he'll never stop.

And he'll never change.
 
I think some people have been defending them for so long they cant recognise that the situations changed. I think they did some good upto a point, but the decision making, recruitment on and of the pitch and now seemingly just accepting our lot has been creeping up for 7 or 8 years. I keep saying if they cant invest and show some stones now then when? We have everything needed to push on. Trouble is its actually getting worse. This isnt 2005 to 2018 anymore.
 
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.
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.
 
Macch an actual Spurs Deuterz Deuterz fan told you what to do. But you haven't answered our question what are YOU doing to show how happy you are man? We're dying to know?


Ahh ok we've moved on to the personal attacks part. Ok I'll cancel my Spursplay account... after today's match

For the record I'm not happy about how this window is going at all. I understand we're being left woefully short in multiple positions.

Lmao of course it’s not.

You’re a fucking melt mate. Mbuemo got 27 goals and assists in the league for a defensive team. That’s more than Odobert, Tel, Solanke and Kudus combined.

Cunha got 21. And they aren’t just numbers these guys, they’re footballers. The things Cunha can do with a football - he creates, he runs at players, he makes stuff happen. Footballers.

Yeah the real worry for them will be fitting in all their new attackers. What a shame.

You are literally just a shill for the ownership on here. It’s pathetic. I don’t think United will be great next season nor do I admire the way they’re ran, but if we signed Sesko, Cunha and Mbuemo you’d be dickriding ENIC for about twelve windows in a row.

Making out loan to buys for 30 year olds nobody wants and Kudus off the back of a dreadful season is a tip top window is the height of fucking gaslightery nonsense. Get a grip of yourself.
 
I 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.
I do exactly what Deuterz Deuterz suggests Ive stopped giving the fucking bandits five thousand bucks a year. I'll repeat what I said to my freind earlier Im nearly 60k in the hole to these charlatans and their jam tomorrow bullshit so excuse me if my moaning about the fraud being perpetrated on the gullible is tiresome for you overseas. Its like how EX smokers are the worst about cigarette smoke. All the other theoretical supporters/ happy clappers/ paid shills with their remote 'support of the clubs finances will have to lump it.

In fairness Chelsea reportedly tried to hijack Richarlison and Kudus

Fuck knows if those reports were true but fuck knows if anything is true

What’s unclear about it ?

Sesko through the middle cunha to the left of him and mbuemo to the right. They already play ferndades deep so need some legs next to him which is likely why they’re after baleba.

They may not all hit the ground running but there’s a clear plan for what they’re trying to do. There’s no way you wouldn’t be heaping massive Praise onto the ownership had we not signed those 3 players.

I severely doubt it mate. If Chelsea wanted Kudus they’d have him imo. Just like with Willian. They’d offer more money and Levy would shit his pants and run away.

This club has amazing potential to grow and be a dominant force but these owners are meek and mild and happy to accept where we are. I have no idea how any fan can look at the way we operate and be content. It is ludicrously pathetic.

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.

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.

My recollection is that everybody was shocked that deal happened so quickly and we just paid the asking price without too much of the then-universal Levy haggling.
