AdeLaNa1:
The fastest players from this season

Kemizee:
I dnt read meaning into all these stats as they are basically useless to how we performed or the position we finished the season in.So are u telling me realistically that Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young make up the list of fastest epl plauers?The same Wayne Rooney is hetting slower and slower by the day?I guess I see differently bt no chance on earth Rooney is wat dt stats say he is

elrony:
the club officials are probably monitoring the DDG situation me thinks... a back up plan woulda probably been in place too!!


meanwhile I need go do medicals for United... I want that Chevy!!!! lol

SailorXY:
I'm not sure the price on Kane's head should worth considerations from any serious management.

chrisley024:
if he can replicate this season's performance onward, it's a good buy. But we know brits and their flashy onetime performance.

weedtaker:
Comrades, how was di maria's performance last night? And what was nicolas otamendi doing at the back, when those paraguay amigos came 4rm 2-0 down to draw 2-2

chrisley024:
Manchester United will step up their bid to land Ajax’s Jasper Cillessen to replace David De Gea on the advice of goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek.


I thought as much. So we want to end it with this GK
LvG wants to turn United into Netherland national team

elrony:
Buhahahha....lmao @ "Netherlands national team"

who do u suggest we buy to replace DDG?

SailorXY:
IF
that's not the kind of amount you pay for IFs, we talking 50+ mils in Mama Charlie style bro

chrisley024:
Cech!
We shouldn't not allow Arsenal have him

What do you guys think of Oblak Athletico Madrid Gk

Memphis Depay was unveiled as a Manchester United player on Friday afternoon after signing for the club at the beginning of May.

The BBC has reported that the 21-year-old winger has set United back £31 million, which makes him the third most expensive player in the club’s history. While England’s most expensive club has always been seen as a big spender, their transfer kitty has been dwarfed by the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City over the past decade.

In the 10 years between 2003-04 and 2013-14, Chelsea have spent £924 million on players, Manchester City spent £796 million and Liverpool spent £608 million. In that same period of time, United spent £594 million. If we are to look at net spend instead, before Liverpool fans get too upset, Chelsea are still the biggest spenders with £571 million, followed by City on £568 million, then United on £309 million and Liverpool on £237 million.

United have been limited by the Glazer take over in 2005, yet still managed to win more Premier League titles than any other club since then. In that time, they have spent close to £700 million on interest fees, bank charges and debt repayments.

What is interesting though, since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson and the arrival of David Moyes, then Louis van Gaal, is that United have become massively involved in the transfer market. It makes you wonder what Ferguson could have won if he had spent the money the club has since he left.

When looking at United’s most expensive players of all time, six of the top 10 have all been purchased by Moyes of Van Gaal. Angel di Maria is currently the British transfer record signing, followed by Juan Mata, then Memphis Depay. Dimitar Berbatov and Rio Ferdinand were Ferguson purchases, then below them is Ander Herrera, Juan Sebastian Veron, Marouane Fellaini, Wayne Rooney and Luke Shaw.

Robin van Persie cast doubts over his future last week when talking about the competition for places he may face next season. ‘United spent £200m on players last year and they are going to spend another £200m this
summer so we will have a team that can compete for the title,’ he said.

The debt still stands at £380 million but it stands to reason that the more successful United are, the easier it will be to generate money. Having relied on the excellence of Ferguson to remain successful in the past, the Glazers have now loosened the purse strings to
ensure there’s never another disaster like the 2013-14 season. Have rival supporters started to wonder what
United’s spending power might look like when the debt has been paid off?

chrisley024:
fact is there's no good striker available and we know how the market is especially when it comes to United buying.

^^^

The guy made some good points but d rest r balderdash ,not every youth product progresses through to d main squad n maintains his place dia ,he may hv forgotten that welbeck was given 2 years to show his worth up front for d team n he failed woefully ,d saido janko dat he is talking about is no good ... d thing with ppl like dis guy is dat de tend to forget a lot ,a certain Ritchie de laet has not made any telling contribution to de various teams he has played since leaving united ,what of Rodrigo possebom ,Federico macheda ? Ezekiel fryers? If d likes of Wilson will stay at d club n learn dia trade maybe one day ,de will become regular starters ,a fact dat LVG made known when he took over from Moyes ,dat he will integrate d youth players into d squad if de impress n he did so but u can't expect d likes of Wilson ,McNair n Blackett to lead our lines if we r to challenge d big guns ,we would be a laughing stock n dat guy would be d first to criticize d mgt for fielding inexperienced players n expecting dem to win trophies ...football den is different from now ,teams want to win trophies n not wait for a decade b4 achieving it ,all cos de r waiting for dia youth players to mature first. He mentioned barca as an example of youth integration ,but he forgot dat d likes of xavi ,iniesta ,Messi didn't just walk into d team n took d first team shirt ,de had already made stars anchoring dia development b4 de got to where de r currently ...d likes of sergi Roberto ,Montoya ,batra ,are currently sitting on d bench of Barcelona n for so long ,a certain thiago alcantara had to leave in order to get more football chances ,so much for youth integration in barca ...d difference between dis current barca team n dat of last season is d cash de spent on Suarez n rakitic ,according to dis guy's logic de should hv gone with d likes of sergi Roberto n munir n see if instant success would follow ,youth integration is not bad at all ,but u can't expect all youth players to make it to d first team by default ,de hv to prove dem selves first ,only den can de become regulars in d first team ,scholes ,giggs ,Neville ,butt worked hard b4 de got to d first team

LMAO.... The article was all about paying top dollar for talents instead of giving opportunities to academy players or going all out for already established stars.

Paying 50M for Hurricane (Harry Kane) according to s article won't make sense.... It should b invested in an already finished product like Ibra, Suarez, Kun, Lewa, Huguain or Benz ir better still give Wilson a runout in d team.

When we paid 16M and 12M respectively for Jones and Smalling there were better and top class CBs that would have been snapped for 25M.

For me o.... If we want to sign a marque no 9 we should miraculously find a way to do away with Wazza. He is not the best no 10 in the team. D fat boi is a limiting factor to d squad.

parrotibaba:
and what do u. think I was. saying? king of balderdash ...I am awaiting ur "Rooney is d best central midfielder of his generation".

SailorXY:
the article was basically - play the youth or pay top dollar for the established & experienced. there's no need paying trucks of cash for "potential" that may or may not work.

I don't think there was any "balderdash" in the article

patrickmuf:
Guys, sup with the Robert Firmino rumour making waves across boards?
Is he any better than what we already have?
