Do you really want to go this road? Let's just leave all these arguments that makes some think others have insulted them.

I really don't want to, but the Dude keeps pushing it. I think he really needs Oxygen coz it seems he's suffocated right now!

nitrogen:
Yes, that was one of Mourinho's master class, shebi the guy helped Man City some weeks ago by dashing them two goals, same guy has refused to score against big oppositions.

It was all Mourinho's masterclass, the board had no choice than to dance in the rain with him, after all, he is the saviour.

List 5 Strikers that are better than Lukaku and that would cost less in any League?!

dmcdad:
For me, it's clearly the coach"s fault.

You sha want make me yab JM..... kolework!

nitrogen:
I really don't care if he is better than current Liverpool Defenders or not, 75m is just a ridiculous fee.

United slammed the same Amount on Lukaku Bro! The same Lukaku Fans are ripping Apart across all the Platform at the moment.

patrickmuf:
Keita is no steel, he is more renowned for his forward forays, he's more like the attacking version of Kante...Liverpool still need a proper 4, a 2, depending on Clyne's fitness and another CB to partner VVD, you can add a goalkeeper if you wish...

If Kante ain't a Steel, then who else is a Steel my Brother?! And based on your description..... he's even an upgrade Version of Kante.

dubylhover:
hehehehehe you self noticed,I was just wondering where they emanated from when d team is at its nadir

They will soon vanish once the Team pick up again!

nitrogen:
So you think the board of a typical football club cannot be confused, and make mistakes?

Kindly name any current Liverpool Defenders better than him, also any 10 EPL Defenders better than him.

Where are these strange Monikers popping out from?! When we were trashing Teams 4 - 0, none of these Monikers visited to cheer the Team o!

Oh Lawd of Xmas & New Year!

BlueAngel444:
Kieta was about 50m pounds, they bought Salah 44m pounds right.

Does that now mean a 27 year defender, that isn't even top 5 (maybe top 10) in EPL with no awards, he is not even homegrown or english is worth 75m.

Why do you have Problem with it pls? Liverpool Board ain't bunch of Fools in my Opinion, and I believe they know better than us.

I believe he's been thoroughly watched and scouted before the Decision is made! Besides, is 27 an old age for a Player?!

nitrogen:
I am struggling to see why we need to spend more. Chamberlain, Milner, Can, Henderson, Wijnaldum etc, are they not average players? Maybe, we should even buy them from Liverpool in order to improve our squad.....what do you think?

On Paper we get quality Midfielders like Mkhtaryan, Matic Pogba, Mata, Herrera and Co who are better than Liverpool Midfielders.

However, on the Pitch where the Results matter, Liverpool Midfielders are better than ours.

Who is at Fault....... JM or the Players?!

dmcdad:
Cement no dey market ni?

Seems it (De Gea) is exhausted!

BlueAngel444:
Is VD what 70m , even in an economic melt down, then how much would the likes of Varane, Manquinho, Kolibaly cost.

I understand Liverpool is desperate to solve their defensive woes but common.

Well as long as City don't buy him wait does that mean Liverpool is going to sell Barca Coutinho (gulps and sweats) and also buy Lemar (tears) OH NO

Seem you do not know the Amount they paid for Kaita even though he's a Midfielder?! When JM said Defenders are getting costlier than Attackers - you think he's bluffing?!

Ball playing Defenders are costlier, the Reason Stone was signed for £50m and United signed Lindelof for £34m.

dubylhover:
you have valid points,I think their issue lies in having a proper 4 to shield the defense,heard that Keita can play the role but he's also dangerous bursting forward so it might b a waste just making him sit at d back...we seriously need to splash money oo or be left behind..

Bro..... Kaita is a Steel in the Midfield. He's not all about Power, he gets brain coz he's creative and also pacy.

Liverpool Midfield is getting more stronger. Lallana, Wijnaldum, Can, Henderson, Milner, Coutinho, Chamberlain, Kaita.... we really need to spend o!

nitrogen:
Nope, we have a Manager that has turned his players to bricks in order to form a defensive system that is weak and full of flaws.

Seem the Bricks are made of sand only?!

BlueAngel444:
Oasis007 is Spy360's intel correct

City in the current first team bought in Pep's time

Bravo - 15m, Sane - 47m, Walker -52m, Danilo - 25m, G. Jesus - 27m,
Gundagun - 30m, Stones - 47m, Eduardo - 35m, B. Silva - 43m

( Mendy - 51m not included is like a player bought but not playing yet Costa and co.)

total - 320m pounds

Man U

Baily - 30m, Mkhi - 30m, Pogba - 90m, Lukaku - 90m, Victor Lindelof - 33m, Matic - 40m

total - 310m Pounds

Both lists have 3 - 4 players with great recognition before their purchase

Kindly refer the Ediot to the Article I culled from the ESPN Site.

Bros, I officially joined the Mourinho Out bandwagon after the Man City game.

See eh, he doesn't have the sense to identify where issues are and address them accordingly.

We have issues with set-piecez, and we parade tall players in every department. See the two goals city scored against us, check out Leicester's and burnley's second goals. Upfront, the short ones don't know how to accurately and effectively cross the ball, and the tall ones don't know how to head the ball. And we have a fuvking manager!

How can you be ultra defensive against teams like Southampton, Leicester, etc and the team is worth over 300m pounds?? It doesn't make sense. We have the players, but we don't have a talented and reasonable manager, simples!

We have a manager that can only defend, depend on luck to score, lose, whine, come up with excuses every fuvking time, rinse and repeat!

LMAO!

Brother....... you need Oxygen to calm your anger!

dubylhover:
nobody wants to reason it that way,d board couldn't forkk out 50m for a winger d gaffer actually wanted..

Liverpool is silently building a formidable Team for next Season. Van Dijk will join in January, you and I know he's a top Defender and definitely gonna be an upgrade on all the present Liverpool Defenders.

Kaita will join his Team Mates in the summer, and no doubt he's a talented Lad. A very good Midfielder. If more Additions are made, and Coutinho eventually opts to stay, I fear for United next Season with the current Bricklayers we are parading as Players.

Sky sources understand that the fee for Virgil Van Dijk will be £75m, which would be a world record for a defender. 



--------------------------------------------------

If Liverpool could pay £75m to sign a Defender, then United Board should be ready to splash Pounds on JM main Targets.

Liverpool codedly beef up their defence with the signing of Virgil Van Dijk!

nitrogen:
Him buying players like Messi, Ronaldo, Griezzy, Mbappe, Neymar and others will not change his stup1p, boring, old, outdated, washed up, id1otic style. He has lost it, he has gone out of ideas/strategies.

Motherfuvking Oloshios Manager!

He should fvck off and leave Man Utd alone, abeg!

Una dey vex o....... still on no-talk Mode!

Comparing Man United's spending to City's: does Mourinho have a point?

MOURINHO vs. GUARDIOLA

The key line from Mourinho's post-Burnley press conference was that the money he has spent on his United team is "not enough" to properly challenge City. It seems like a strange thing to say given that almost every other manager would love to have United's budget to splurge on players. Still, Mourinho is only talking about United vs. City and in that context, he is right that Guardiola has spent more.

Since taking over at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, Guardiola has spent £361.1m on 12 players. Over the same span, Mourinho has spent £286.3m on seven players. It would have been eight had he signed Ivan Perisic in the summer like he wanted.

United broke the world record when they signed Paul Pogba for £89.3m in 2016 and splashed £75m on Romelu Lukaku last summer. The rest, though, have all been around the £30m mark while Zlatan Ibrahimovic was free (at least in terms of transfer fees).

City, meanwhile, have paid between £40m and £50m for five players since Guardiola arrived.
Over the same period, United have recouped £51m (primarily from the sales of Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin) while City banked £79.5m from offloading the likes of Edin Dzeko, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfried Bony.

MOURINHO's GRIPE

As well as saying he has not had enough money, Mourinho also made mention of City "buying full-backs for the price of strikers," a reference to City spending £120.8m on Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy and Danilo in the summer. What will annoy Mourinho most, though, is not the fees but the fact that Guardiola got what he wanted.

City initially tried to haggle with Tottenham over Walker but ended up paying £45 million -- close to the full asking price -- because Guardiola made it clear how important he would be this season.

By contrast, sources have told ESPN FC that United refused to meet Inter Milan's price for Perisic. Mourinho was clear he wanted four new signings in the summer but only got three. Of those, only two (Lukaku and Nemanja Matic) have been able to go straight into the team.

It is not the first time this season that Mourinho has referenced money. Asked for his thoughts after a 2-0 home win over Benfica in the Champions League in October, he replied: "We score two goals we didn't concede. Three more points, which makes 12. More money for the club because every victory means money."

It seemed like an odd thing to say but the inference was that if he is doing his bit to bring money in, he should also be allowed to spend it.

THE END PRODUCT

City have spent more than United over the last 18 months but the numbers, £360m compared to £280m, are comparable. It's just that City's spending has had more of an impact.

The United team that started Boxing Day's 2-2 against Burnley included seven players that Mourinho inherited. Playing West Brom before Christmas, United fielded an entire back-five left behind by Sir Alex Ferguson. The City team Guardiola fielded against Tottenham the same weekend contained eight players brought in over the past three summers.

In the five years since Ferguson retired, United have spent £609.5m on 22 players. Louis van Gaal brought in 13, of which six have already left. Mourinho can at least be happy that the majority of his signings seem to have paid off.

The jury is still out on Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Victor Lindelof but the rest have been successes. Mourinho will argue that he just needs more.
