Ravioli:
OGS have spoken to Woodward again. He have made it clear to Woodward that United will not compete with Liverpool, City and Chelsea this season with the current squad. OGS is stunned over the lack of ambition and was very direct in conversations with Ed.

handelex:
I'll still say it again, if not for Van de Sar, maybe we won't still have signed anyone by now. Bunch of incompetent twats.

This is the truth.

VDS just decided to help us out of love

Maybe by now, those who were defending the board might begin to see what the complaint is about. Except ofcourse, you decide to remain headstrong in your perspective.

After all that happened last season, United has signed just one player. And the new season has already started.

Na here we dey

GloryIsaac:
Ferguson is the reason these guys on top were not discovered early.. he was an excellent coach.

I hope in spite of their gross incompetence, that OGS can miraculously pull a Ferguson for us.

EOD.

LMAO. This ix what we were saying but our shareholders and financial experts here have a different opinion.

#Glazersaretrying.

Leyqute:


Imagine.

Now is a very important time to back the manager up. Especially now. Now when there are signs of something promising.

If Greenwood, or Martial and Bruno cops an injury now we’ll be back to square one.

But no, Ole is the problem. Sign Pochettino and we’ll win the treble with Lingard and Perreira. SMH

At other clubs their owners finance them, at our own club we finance our owners.

It is a horrific higi-haga.

Leyqute:


That’s the only solution. A miracle.

Else, the shalaye this season go plenty.

We should even be signing more than 2 players this season. Yet these fools will hand bumper contracts to underperforming players.

I feel say na craze.

Exactly. The team is just an injury away from wahala.

Once Martial limps twice on the pitch, Daniel James is automatically in the starting lineup.

If Shaw limps once, e don be

If Rashford limps once, JLingz / Periera / James don enter starting XI

Leyqute:


Same way they acted with Moyes n Mourinho.

Still can’t believe some peeps and “shareholders” here will ridicule you if you blame Ed and the Glazers for the lack of transfers this window.

Yeye Dey smell.

I just pray OGS and the boys deliver this season.. waiting on Ed to act is so frustrating.

ArchAnge1:
Yes I know this isnt Chelsea thread

Yes I'm posting this here
Yes I want it to pain you.

Leyqute:


Highly unlikely. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. We can start well but we won’t end the season well with a thin squad.

Can only hope for a top 4 finish. And that in itself is not even sure considering that other teams have strengthened significantly while Ed is doing gbasgbos.

Please let's look at things from another perspective, Lampard and Chelsea have signed Ziyech, Werner, Havertz, Chiwell for the same amount we used to sign Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Dan James and Bruno. Chelsea even got two CBs on a free with Silva taking a huge pay cut to sign for them...

I know it's early days but you can't look past the signings Chelsea have made with a similar outlay to ours last season. Now we are chasing another expensive player that won't plug all the holes in our team. Pep spends a lot of money but most times he signs plahers around the 50m mark. For 108m, Pep will most likely get 2-3 very good players but no, we should spend same amount on just one player.

Maguire we signed for 80m hasn't proven to be twice the player Smalling is individually nor has he showned that he is twice the player Lindelof is. We are stuck with him now. Imagine looking for another CB a season after signing one for 80m. Do you think Joe Gomez is better than Lindelof? If Joe Gomez plays alongside Maguire, we will be quick to throw him under the bus but at Liverpool, with Van Dijk beside him, he looks good...

For 108m, we will get Neres, Reguilon, Tiago (Not a necessity), Upamecano or any other CB etc. Or we can get Neres and Douglas Costa in hope that one of them blossoms. If you sign Neres for 30-40m and he flops, we can quietly lick our wounds and move on but for 108m, I tell you it will be painful. I don't even want to talk about the added pressure that comes with such amount.

CapitalCee:



They fail to see it that way. There own is sign! sign! They just want the new toy around. Making a huge investment on a single player who is not Mbappe, Messi or Ronaldo has its consequences. If we had signed Maguire for £15m. By now we might had added him among the deadwoods, his price means we must play him. We tends to sign average players for twice their price and claim to be the biggest clubs in the world. Let's even calculate the amount Pep spent since he joined city and what we have spend. The difference is not much. The issue is we sign a lot of duds for extortionate fees, they play nonsense, we cry back to blame Ed. We are behaving as if not signing Sancho is the end of the world.

There are several players we can get easily on the cheap which can massively improve this team, but no we want a marquee colourful player who will come with too much pressure and fail. When you come up with quality low key players we reject them tagging them finished or not good enough, only to splurge big money on expensive flops.

This pretty much explains in details the earlier argument.

Imagine, Chelsea have £440m funding from their owners in the last 5 years, followed by Everton at £299m, Villa at £193m, Fulham at £186m, Brighton at £160m & City at £142m.

But the opposite is ManUtd's case.. Na God go epp the club las las

spillo1:

Please name the several players and their cheap cost that will improve the team massively?

You didn't even let him define the perimeter of what he means by cheap. By cheap does he mean 20 to 30million or 40 to 50 million.
