Rio was the worlds most expensive centre half at the time I’m pretty sure. Rooney was the most expensive teenager ever. Not great examples

They weren’t galacticos though. They were signed when they had a clear upside. Not only on the field where it made total sense to sign them but also in a business sense. No matter how bad they would turn out to be they’d have some sort of resale value. Their wages were in keeping with a structure. Sanchez and falcao had little upside. They were short term options at ridiculously high costs. De gea is another example. There are countless. Hopefully big rom and Sanchez are gone soon. Hererra is off too and mata should not be given a new contract. I’d be very surprised if united aren’t third next season. They’ll need 3 windows to challenge city again at least.

Double Glazing?

A will you stop, he’s cat

Expectations lowered downwards from champions to third. What’s happened in the last three and a half weeks to bring about this u turn?

Does that include sales?

Yes.

you gotta link for that?

Manchester United proving that when you have a famed youth academy that produces top quality youngsters like Paul Pogba, you don’t have to spend big money on players, you just grow them yourself

What a club

They were and still are years ahead of every other club in terms of attendances and commercial income.

Is that fees and wages @anon32894817?

They are years ahead of other clubs in terms of attendances alright

Very few kids support them these days

Do the fans want the Glazers out ?

Appear to be pulling out of the deal for the crystal palace right back

Spending 46% of total revenue on transfer fees alone is not conducive to posting record profits for a football club which Liverpool achieved in their latest financials.

Throw up an old link there.

It’s hilarious to see how defensive Liverpool fans get over these sort of things. I actually posted the numbers to show how poorly man united are being run.
