You can't believe there is seriously a player in the squad who currently thinks they're a certain starter - except maybe Bertrand & Cedric when fit.

???

Good. Listen to the piece by Billic on The Debate about how difficult it is when one Agent has 5 or 6 players in your squad. Frickin scourge of the earth. ManU is one of the few clubs where player power isn't dominant.

I'm yet to see any evidence that the buy out clause is €35m. Cold be €50m for all we know.

So, to summarise: A Loss and we go down A Draw and we go down A Win and we go down. That about it?

I'm kind of with you on this. It's always disappointing when we don't sign someone, but the sports pages aren't exactly awash with player movements (so far). I honestly believe we tried to get both Walcott and Promes, so then how far down the pecking order do you go? This squad is easily good enough. Fingers crossed that Guido is the glue that makes everything finally hang together going forward. Que sera sera.

Yep. Or we've been out to Spain and done it.

His actual location is pretty much irrelevant.

This may be news to some, but we can't just arrange deals on our own. There normally has to be a willing party on the other side of the table, who as a player we want, at a price we can afford.

I think you'll find plenty on here are obsessed with it, and how it's for the masses, but they're far to savvy to be taken in by it....... Makes you wonder why the club go to all that effort.

Insightful

He’s not wrong though, is he?

Just looking at West Ham’s line up. There is not a single player I would take from their starting eleven.

He was rubbish when he did have regular game time. It’ll be more interesting to see how he gets on in a poor team.

I’d rather have Stephens than Mangala. The most overpriced footballer ever.

I choose to believe this random post for no reasonable or sensible criteria whatsoever

How do you know this?

Good. Another MoPe out thread. Were the others full?

If only there was an ebay for footballers. The transfer window would be so much easier.

Right that he'll be fumng, or right that we should just pay whaever the selling club wants us to pay, and on whatever terms they want? Or right that personal terms have been agreed?

You need to be fumng if we pay that amount if you're serious about balancing the arguement.

What makes Patred an authoritative source on this?

Is there any player we can buy where the forum would be universally supportive?
