To think that we were linked with mount , bullet dodged w.r.t his injury history.

I’m inspired by your passion right now, RBJ, not gonna lie.

Goosebumps.

that clip though…watch it at least 5 times…tell me im not over egging the omelette… so many things going on in 34 seconds that if i designed it myself id say ‘tone it down, red, its gotta be believable’…

i mean…it was all over a goal kick…the noise the crowd makes… the crow impersonation…‘bruno bruno’…the alpha male shite…

its pure comedy gold the more you watch it…

Imagine not even agreeing personal terms with the player. Such a shitshow.

More evidence of doing things in the transfer market that us mere mortals can only dream of doing.

Henderson did have the old ropey game there. Probably more due to the toxic nature of the club.

The game we won 4:2 at Old Trafford springs to mind. I won’t be forgetting it in a hurry, I still believe it set us up for CL qualification that season!

Antony off to Betis for €25m, excellent transfer business again to buy for €95m, spend even more paying off everyone involved in the transfer to leave, loan him out then get a fee well below the players estimated value :joy:

Is that confirmed? I thought Betis pushed back saying Antony’s wages make it not possible.

Manchester United have finally offloaded Antony in a deal worth £21.65m for him to join Real Betis on a permanent deal.

The two clubs have been in talks all week over a deal for the Brazil winger, who remains United’s second-biggest signing in their history after joining from Ajax for £82m in 2022 under Erik Ten Hag.

The framework of a deal was made after Antony’s agent arrived in the UK on Monday – but Betis then pulled out after their bid was accepted.

Now an agreement is in place for Betis to pay £19m up front and the rest in add-on bonuses. United have inserted a clause, giving them 50 per cent of the profits if Betis sell him later down the line.

It is understood that Antony’s salary is now completely off the wage-bill, as they are not paying up any of his existing deal.

This has to be the worst signing in their history. If I remember correctly, they could have also signed him for less but dithered and Ajax quoted them a new price, which they agreed to pay in the end.

Sancho says hi

One of the top 10 worst signings in the last 5 years :rofl:

The competition is very tough

I know he didn’t cost as much as the above, but for sheer calamity and near-singlehandedly dropping huge numbers of points and (so far) massively contributing to one manager getting the sack, Onana surely has to be high up on their ‘worst ever signings’ list?

Sancho came with much more hype as the wonderkid with the price tag. And proved to be a damp squib who they could not get rid off. Atleast they got Antony off and did get some fees in return.

As far as the keeping is concerned. Yep. They could pay De Gea reasonable fees(the guy already agreed for a pay cut) and instead chose to dump him and get Onana with a very hefty transfer fee(40m) and the wages component too.

De Gea was making mistakes but he wouldn’t nearly be as bad as Onana. The worst thing is that they had De Gea and Henderson and swapped them out for Onana and Bayindir.

Let’s see.

Hojlund
Mount
Sancho
Antony
Casemiro
Ugarte
Onana
Ronaldo (the second coming)
Regulion
Varane

That along with the mess up they’ve done with their youth signings

Rashford
Garnacho
Greenwood (not entirely United’s fault)5
