Man Utd Thread:

[Armamike]

Anyone check in on GJL or St Pats Abu? They seem to be gone missing...

EC was on here today, no comments yet but hopefully he's doing well. St Pats is sadly no longer with us

Big loss.

James Horncastle in The Athletic makes a pretty compelling case for Conte.

Hopefully United don't heed it.

Manchester United need to back Solskjaer more.

312m is 3*Pogba or 1.5*Neymar
It won't buy a team.
It's about half of Man Utd annual profits.

And what? State of the United fans crying about the club not spending enough. Cry about mismanagement all you want, but a lack of spending isn't one of the problems.

United have been mismanaged for years at boardroom level, some of the salaries handed out are eye watering. Sancho getting £350k per week to sit on the bench and Martial on £250k. Sancho may well yet prove to be a world beater but there are countless other players being paid way above their performance level.

Sancho is world class player, who has been signed and left on the bench. Crazy stuff

Anybody have a full breakdown of who's on what wage-wise at the club?

Jebus that must make Ray Parlour and Nick Barmby icons of the game.

According to that website, Ronaldo earns more in three weeks than the entire Brentford together squad, collectively, do in a year.

Also, Anthony Martial earns more in a year than the entire Brentford squad.

That wages thing is some load of shite but people lap it up.....

To be honest if someone paid any of us that sort of money for shuffling papers around a  desk, driving a forklift or hammering in nails, we wouldn't complain

It's just the market and what clubs are prepared to pay. Yes it is obscene but that's modern day  soccer

Anyone who follows European football knows how good Sancho is. He would have been sensational in that Liverpool team

The fella's  21, settling into a new league its harsh to be judging him too much after a dozen games..

I see Utd are favourites to win the game tomorrow strangely

He hasn't played at all for anyone to even judge him. You sign someone like that, you play them. You don't wait to bed them in and see how they are doing in training. You know what you are getting put them on the field.

He's a 21yo English lad who went from Manchester to Dortmund for a couple of years and come back. £70m transfer equals no settling in period, has to be oven ready with guaranteed output at that price, sure he even spent the summer in England playing for England during the Euros. A complete shambles he isn't starting, also he's nowhere near world class atm and I stand by my statement, a long way to go before he proves himself better than Parlour and Barmby. Rio Ferdinand can make all the south London hype videos he wants it doesn't matter a f**k, the lad is miles off where this hype train has him.

ps this world class tag... you're plucking 22 players from across the globe, the cream of the crop to play a game against each other, does he make the cut, not within an asses roar, fails to make a world 11 not once but twice, then he's not world class
