[Brighton Sky Blue]

I thought so at the time, but VAR disallowing Torp’s winner might well prove to be a history changing event for Man Utd. A man who was otherwise going to be sacked now allowed to build one heck of a side.

I agree, the signings they are making now are slightly less mental (although still huge gambles!). They spent a combined £100M on a crocked Verane and an ancient Cassimero. They were never getting a return on these players and they were never going to get better, the initial outlay was mental!

Ronaldo, for 20mil actually seemed reasonable business on paper. His ego tho at this point was so swollen it could only end one way... And it did.

Apparently Real wanted to pay £20M for Yoro (I think another club were also in for him at that price), Man Utd got him for £50M! They're still bat shit crazy tho at least there could be room for improvement on all their signings. I think they are still years of a title push.

Agreed mate.

People said the same when they signed casemiro, Ronaldo and varane...

As good as Yoro supposedly is they spent a lot of money for an 18 year old CB who has made 50 appearances, a bid that Real Madrid weren't even willing to get near to.

Same with Zirkzee a lot of money for a bit of a gamble in my eyes. Good player on the face of it, but not sure there is immediate success with ether of those signings so far.

I hope i'm wrong would be good to see them competing again would much prefer united success over city success!

just saw that Yoro is out for 2-3 months already, absolutely laughable, maybe another injury prone defender they’ve signed.

Conor Gallagher to Atletico a done deal pretty much

I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea but I think that is a really good fit for both parties

 

[Il Pirata]

He'll do the kind of headless chicken running that Simeone will like. Agree that he'll do a job for them.

He’s a good player and will do well at Athletico. Suited Potch’s style v well, less so how Enzo wants to play.

It’s really good to see English players actually go abroad to play football in major European leagues. We need more of it!

 

[HadjiChippo]

Can’t believe Man City are selling Julian Alvarez, unreal talent who’d be a guaranteed starter in almost every other prem team. 70 million euros in instalments is an absolute bargain by todays standards.

Metatarsal mate, not an injury that reoccurs unless people keep standing on your feet

Injury prone refers to a player consistently requiring treatment, not the same injury reoccurring.

Lisandro Martinez wasn’t injury prone until he went to Man Utd and did his metatarsal, followed by several lengthy spells out. Club has form for badly handling injured players in the last few years.

Julian Alvarez going to Atletico for a huge fee, good player but Atletico way overpaid.

£17M in add ons, so something just under £70M for starters.

Seems like a bargain compared to the amount Man U spent on Anthony and Chelsea on a whole host of players like Fernández, Caicedo and Mudrik. Alvarez is a really good player.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Man Utd looking very good. Ten Haag making the most of his VAR-earned reprieve

Enzo will be out of a job in 6 months mind you

Seems a lot of money for Solanke

[Mcbean]

Thought this was priceless - having listened to a mad Spurs fan shouting at Simon Jordan , Souness and Jim White for saying it was ok to spend 60 million on Solanke - saw this on faceshite

Adidas have done some really nice third kits this year, especially with the Originals logo and retro badges.
Really don't like Arsenal or Man Utd but these are beauties

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Chelsea have got palmer to sign a short contract extension until 2033

Kalvin Phillips to Ipswich

Good move for both! Hope he gets himself back on track as I think he's decent in the right system

The video advert for the United Originals range is really, really good.

The video advert for the United Originals range is really, really good.

Will have a look! Saw Real Madrid's warm up jackets last night as well



I'd bankrupt myself over a Coventry Adidas retro range. Maybe one day...

 

[Paul Anthony]

If that's not a foul on the Ipswich player, then surely it's handball against him?

 

[San Francisco]

Ipswich doing well here. Liverpool looking quite poor though.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Been saying it since last winter but Liverpool should’ve snapped Saudi’s hands off if they could get £100+ million for Salah.

 

[Evo1883]

Close call this

 

[HadjiChippo]

I want Ipswich to win but I think that would’ve been a soft pen even if onside

 

[Evo1883]

Brilliant move by Liverpool

 

[HadjiChippo]

Glad Jenas changed his mind on that being a pen on Diaz, wondered what he was on for a second there

 

[Paul Anthony]

Jota's got to score that

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ipswich living on the edge here, Liverpool have turned it up a notch


…Yeah, been coming 1-0

 

[Paul Anthony]

Made up for it that time

 

[Evo1883]

That's an unreal ball by trent
