Thought this might've got a wee mention

Only in America, eh?!!

Whats the thoughts on Matic?

Serious money for a holding midfielder but I guess that is the market this season.

Signing confirmed, 3 year contract

Shit on a stick but United's signings have been rather underwhelming this summer.

Decent squad player

He'll do a decent job but will be on the wane in 2-3 years. All part of Mourinho's short term strategy.

Mourinho has bought 6 players for United so far including a pair of 22 year old centre backs, a 23 year old midfielder and a 24 year old centre forward.. short term strategy me bollix.

Next seasons side must be one of the tallest in the clubs history. Set pieces shouldn't be an issue anyway.

Over paid for most of those players because Ed Woodward hasn't a clue. At least the money spent doesn't come from a sugar daddy which is the case with neighbours Manchester City.

Milltown Row2 · August 01, 2017, 12:28:06 AM

Why would anybody give out about the spending? Stupid in the extreme, none of the players in the EPL or any other league are worth the money paid to them...

Hectic · August 01, 2017, 08:40:16 AM

I find the spending in the EPL a real turn off. I hope Spurs come through and beat the lot of them to the title this year. It is ridiculous in the extreme when I find myself wanting a club that still pays 30m for players to win a league because they appear to have more emphasis on building sensibly relatively speaking.

United spending their own money though. Still, City have spent a lot more than the rest this summer again.

60 nicker to watch man utd in Dublin this week, 25 to watch gaelic games from the hill this week, eighty thousand will be on hand in croker, I know the professional get paid a ton of money but to be charging 60 quid in to a friendly is ripping the dick out of it, especially since an infinitely better product is being served at HQ.

I was talking to a mate last night who is going to both, he reckons a weeks wages will be spent on these games this week, that to me is insanity in the extreme.
