Inverted Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Arsenal making a £15m bid for Tierney looks even more farcical now.

No, this just makes Man Utd look ridiculous. £50m for a player that won't make much difference to how they play. I'm sure Celtic would love us to be that ridiculous but we don't need a LB who's used to playing at a low standard that badly.

True Blue Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 45 mill deal+ 5 mill in add on's. Overall a huge pay raise and a huge club switch. One good season, but loads of potential. United has taken a gamble here in my opinion.

Try and be objective. I don't say it is a high quality league, but to pretend that world class players can't come out of it is ridiculous when two of the current European champions had major formative spells in this league. It's also outrageously presumptive from a club which has made some properly shocking recruitment decisions in recent times.

They also had spells at other, smaller English teams, where they had to step up and improve, before moving to Liverpool. Tierney hasn't done that part and would be more of a gamble because of it. It's also not a priority position for us. Need to buy in other positions a lot more.

With due respect, the jump to playing with a team that gets 97 points is a much bigger jump than to with Arsenal at this moment.

To be fair Robertson made the jump from a very poor Hull side that would have probably struggled winning the league in Scotland. Robertson is a football phenomena though so maybe shouldn't be used as an example.
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Yeah it's pretty rare you see a player like Robertson immediately come in from a poor side and look like a massive addition to the squad from their first introduction to the first team.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 29, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 29, 2019 Not a transfer spec. anymore, he has signed.
6666 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Great deal for Crystal Palace. They robbed Man Utd there. Maybe now they can significantly reduce the price of Zaha in order to balance things out and make things right.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 1, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 1, 2019 Classic Man Utd signing. Not necessarily a good tactical fit, spent a fair bit on a young right back last summer. They're a mess.
Administrator Stan Posted July 1, 2019 Administrator Posted July 1, 2019 Utd have been well and truly taken to the cleaners here. Not saying Wan-Bissaka isn't good or that he can't be great in future, but £50m

Signing players that may not fit into the style of play while already having a young right back (unless Ole doesn't rate Dalot). 10 hours ago, Stan said: Utd have been well and truly taken to the cleaners here.

It just sums up to me that Manchester United still have absolutely no direction and haven't done for a long time, and let me say now if their new intended direction is signing average players on the basis they're British then it won't last very long when they're sat in midtable and are forced to act. I find it incredible in a way. This just seems another ill-fit to me. He's clearly not rubbish, but it's massive money and pressure on a youngster with only a year in the top flight who played in a way that seems to contradict what Man Utd will intend to play. Given they signed Dalot last year as well it's just bizarre.
Administrator Stan Posted July 17, 2019 Administrator Posted July 17, 2019 @Teso dos Bichos considering your weird hatred and dislike for everything and everyone Leicester (Liverpool I can understand given the rivalry) but your thoughts please if you sign Harry Maguire?
Administrator Stan Posted July 17, 2019 Administrator Posted July 17, 2019 Just now, Teso dos Bichos said: My thoughts, Woodward is fucking nuts paying that much for someone who is far from an elite defender and wont never reach that status. At the most worth 30 mil and that's already with the added bonus for taking jones in return. () We're never taking Jones in return so take that thought away
