In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Because the French league isn't challenging enough week to week. Not that hard to understand what I was getting at.
I feel like insane moves like this would be the necessary catalyst for the higher ups in football to actually do something about it. I just can't see this being allowed with no repercussions by the people in charge. But if they do throw reason out the window and allow everything, I guess we couldn't have done too much about it and football might be fecked long term
Think Mbappe's made the wrong decision here. What happens when he gets sick of playing in France and wants to test himself in a better league? There's no way PSG would let him leave just like Verratti has found out in the past couple of transfer windows.
I think he's referring more to the competition he plays week in week out. But then that argument doesn't really work when La Liga is equally as bad below the top 5 teams.
To put thing into perspective, Kaka and Ronaldo combined fee alone was outrageous fee. Rememeber Kaka was like 1.5x previous world record fee and Ronaldo 2x. In Kaka case, he even flopped. PSG already had the frame with the like of world class potential level in Thiago Silva, Verratti and few other elite level players. Madrid made a wholesale change with Perez restart the Galaticos project.
The point lies with it's unlikely to happen every summer. Simply squad management ain't gonna allow that since top players just don't want to be left on bench.
Nah, La Liga is a much stronger league from top to bottom IMO.
I still think United need one more top class addition. I am really surprised we havent fulfilled Joses 4 players wish yet.
Lindelof, Lukaku, Matic, Zlatan
The French league has the most physical defending of any in Europe after England and perhaps Italy. It's a fine place for a young forward to hone his skills.
Only club seriously interested in a move this summer.
Lindelof, Lukaku, Matic, Zlatan
hah, they didnt call Jose on that during the presser, apparently he didnt consider Zlatan to be number 4
Apart from this Sanchez situation, you hardly ever see truly WC players leave on free. Whenever they start producing WC performances, they generally do get contract after contract to keep them happy.
Beat Real madrid and took barcelona's player in same window and kept their own from joining barcelona. Took United's Di maria,
I hope not fabinho.
Because no one would go as high as them.
Jovetic from Inter to Monaco for 11m euros.
Replace Matic with Drinkwater... it's almost as bad as Rafa trying to buy Barry for Alonso. Seriously... dumbest move in a decade.
what so is this a "We will loan him off you for 1 million a week and get him on a free once we have spent £180 Million over the course of the loan where we will get him on a free off you, WINK, WINK"
I'll not hold anything against Evans going to City. We didn't want him and he's under no obligation not to take what's probably a ridiculous wage across the other side of Manchester just because of that.
Liverpool can keep signing strikers, wingers and midfielders forever as far as I care, as long as they don't improve their shambolic defence.
Come on Jose guzzump this.
Not sure if Sport1 are reliable.
Agreed.

Think it's more a case of them being unable to have such a transfer on this year's books, so the loan allows them to defer the transfer fee until next year, with this year him only joining on loan. They may not even pay a loan fee, everything next year.
Unless Coutiniho is definitely off it's a weird move. How Klopp can justify not spending on the defence or on improving squad depth is beyond me.
Very disappointed with this.
