Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

Or to put it another way, Leicester saw United coming.

Everyone sees United coming, everyone knows how much money they have. Why on earth would any club ever sell United a player for a bargain, especially in this day and age. And, it is not just United. If City, Chelsea or even Liverpool come knocking, clubs are not going to let their players go for cheap now. The money Liverpool spent on Vin Dijk was still ridiculously high. However, it has actually worked out well for them. But, there is always a risk. Maguire has not been a terrible signing, he has improved the United defence and hopefully he will be a good solid player for years to come. He may be a very very good player for United. The United failings this year have primarily been a complete lack of ability in breaking down teams, which leave United vulnerable to a quick counter every now and then.

Forget Maguire being overpriced......let's talk about some really bad buys.

Bakayoko for £50m is up there. He was like a fan who'd won a competition......
Mendy at City is another clown who can't pass or control a football and cost £50m
Drinkwater for £30m
Pepe for £70m.....pace with a load of unwanted tricks. He'll be at West Ham in 18 months

Mendy started off well as an attacking outlet though. Perhaps his multiple injuries derailed him somewhat. Mangala for 40 odd million was a good one though.

Fred (especially if I was answering this 2-3 months ago). Benteke for Palace?

In fact, when Benteke went to Liverpool in 2015 for £32.5 million, that didn't work. Or, all the way back in 2011, Andy Carroll to Liverpool £35 million (I think that was their highest ever transfer fee at the time)

It's common news I have folk on ignore. But its purgatory when trying to read half a thread ?

Why not abolish your ignore list and just skip over whatever those you currently ignore have to say?
At least you can see the whole picture.

Agreed. Imagine being so desperate to stay in your own echo chamber.

Hardly necessary, or are you trying to prove his point?

If his point is “I shouldn’t have to read opinions that are different than my own” then yes.

Yeah but its like looking at a picasso thinking what the flip is that.

Boring mate, just pontificating again as only his opinion counts.

And made them bend over and beg

Yes because saying that we read other people’s opinions suggests that. Can YOU read?

Reading them and respecting them are 2 different things. Maybe you should read your post #10,584.

Good display from Rangers, certainly looked out after an hour at Ibrox.

Last 16 for the first time in 9 years.
