Players sold/loaned out... that eleven could've made a fine season :)

I'm sad to see Chicharito leave the league, quality player just never got a real chane to shine IMO. If it had been up to me I would have signed him in a heartbeat instead of Falcao.

Falcao wasn't their player.

 

Blackett, Evans and Cleverley aren't exactly players that should be included in a first eleven aiming to win things.

De gea performs poorly for untied but they support him then he has one good season and he wants out. No loyalty in this sport. I hate modern football

Loyalty is a myth, players aren't loyal, fans aren't loyal, and teams aren't loyal. You only have to look at forums like these to see it, a few bad results and fans are quick to turn on players just as they are to praise them. It's not modern football its life.

Wasnt calling this a starting eleven, not saying Cleverley, Evans and Blackett were certain starters. But if you were to start every league game in a season with those players I think they could do quite alright... mid table at least :)

Modern life so. In fairness if players aren't performing but still get a wage that we can only dream of the fans of the club are entitled to ask questions. If you don't do your job I'm sure you have to answer to someone. You can't say fans ain't loyal granted some do go over the top

United is actually paying 80 million euros for Anthony Martial. Unproven 19 year old that has started a few dusin matches in Ligue 1.

The world has gone mad.

That is mad. They reckon €60m upfront with €20m with add ons. If that was Chelsea, I would be fuming.

Let's hope their scouting department have done their work on him.

:laugh2:

Martial is an interesting one. Way overpriced for his age, but he's very different to most youngsters. He's extremely physically developed, quick and strong, and possesses really great awareness and decision making but his technique rests somewhere between Demba Ba and Cuadrado.

Let's not!

Just heard that we purposely sent the papers over late and in the wrong format to stop the De Gea deal. If it's true then that's hilarious. Yeah, De Gea is probably pissed and probably won't play for us again, but then he never was anyway as it was clear he had his heart set elsewhere and we don't need the money either. 

 

The most important thing was sending Madrid a big F U and that they can't walk all over us anymore.

So what do Man U gain by not selling him? a little face, as you said you don't think he isn't going to play for you again. So would £29m or £18m and a decent keeper not have been fairly useful especially if you wanted to sign someone like Bale, Neymar or Muller.

So to save a bit of face you have kept a player on the books who doesn't want to be there haven't bought in a quality replacement and aren't going to get a substantial amount of money seems smart to me :/
