Let's All Laugh At... Let's all wonder what's going on at United?

The Tottenham example

In June 2006, Sir Alex Ferguson went to Tottenham to buy a replacement for Roy Keane, paying £18m for Michael Carrick, a member of Sven Goran Eriksson's England World Cup squad.

Two years later, he broke the club transfer record by paying £30.75m for Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov, who had been Tottenham's top scorer for the previous two seasons.

Mourinho compares that situation to the one that exists now, where United can, theoretically, be interested in Tottenham skipper Harry Kane, but have no chance of completing a transfer for the England forward.

Mourinho said: "Is Manchester United, by its history and dimension, bigger than Tottenham? Tottenham is an amazing club but I think everybody would say yes. Can you buy Tottenham's best players? No.

"Football has changed. Can we go there now and bring Harry Kane here? Dele Alli? Eriksen? Son? No. So who is more powerful now? Them or us?"

Agreed. Best just carry on Maureen buying very overpriced players whose agents are your friends.

He’s a silly man. They can still come in and offer a ridiculous fee that only a super rich club like them wouldn’t bat an eyelid at. Would/Could we do that? no, therefore he’s talking out of his jole.

Latest rumour is that they've had a £100m bid for Koulibaly rejected by Napoli.

Probably bullshit, but there's no doubt United can offer that kind of money.

Looking second best at Saints. Pogba in the second half has been atrocious and Lukaku just fell over the ball under no pressure.

Good that Manure drops another 2 points.

 

[Col_M]

From the bbc.

London Money: Another two points dropped against a very poor team . Come on Southampton sort yourselves out !

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

United finally catch a break - just in time for Arsenal.

Ashley Young will miss the match due to Yellow Card accumulation.

So what he's saying is he can only do a decent job if he can just go and buy whoever he likes!
What a fantastic coach.
A football genius.
Does he think Mark Hughes or Poch can just buy whoever they want?
What a fkin idiotic statement for him to make. Not his first mind and def not his last.

United looked painfully average tonight. They don’t seem to have a plan going forward, or to control games. The players don’t seem to be busting a gut for Maureen either.

How long can this go on I wonder.

When they next lose to us by 4 or 5 goals.

 

[archiewasking]

The fear factor is well and truly gone.

I must admit, I did laugh..

It's funny how when I was growing up, all the glory hunters latched on too these lot and now the equivalent will be latching onto Man City.

Don’t knock it. It’s how many fans come to support their football teams. As a person who’d never been to London before his teens, I only supported Spurs because of what I saw on TV

Well my Dad is a Gooner and I grew up in Malta. No way I’m supporting Arsenal or Sliema Wanderers, although Pieta Hotspur has a certain attraction.

Gone next summer I reckon.

Yeah I think it’ll be the same as when they sacked Moyes. As soon as it’s mathematically impossible to qualify for the CL he’ll have the chop.

Just read his post match comments, it’s always the players fault with him. There’s never any team responsibility or non committal language, just poisoned words for the players, often individuals too. He’s a nasty piece of work, and completely lacks class.
