If that’s the case, I’ll cheer it as well.
But Ibthink he’ll be quite successful, as long as ManU isn’t as well, I’m fine with it.

Nah, I bet all three of those guys will be playing elsewhere, with ManU still paying most of their wages.

I don’t think that matters, he is better than what they have had available this season and is considered a better fit for the way they want to play under Amorim than those they sent out on loan. Even if he is regularly suspended, I think he will make them better (or at least earn more points) for the games he is available for than they did this season.
He doesn’t have to be a great signing, only good enough to get them some positive momentum.
When they signed Mount wasn’t everyone asking how both him and Bruno would fit into the same 11, and isn’t that dilemma compounded more now with the arrival of Cunha ?

No, I would think they play alongside each other as the 2 10s Amorim plays. One of the problems they faced last season was in relying heavily on Bruno being their creative attacker. Teams would shut him down, forcing him to drop too deep, and then Utd were unable to work the ball into opposing penalty areas. That will be harder to do with Cunha there.

They brought in Bruno under Ole and he WAS a great signing from them - but they still didn’t win shit. I agree that he’s a good player, but They still haven’t solved their massive issues in GK, CB, WB, CM, and ST. They’re years away from competing, and that’s if they get their incomings, outgoings, and tactics right for the next few seasons.
Amorim showed last season that he’s not going to make it at this level, just like Villas-Boas before him.

Is that all 60m quid buys you these days?

Sure, but I don’t think anyone suggests the signing of him alone will be enough to get them competing with the top four - If it helps push them back to the top 6 or 8 in the premier league that will be a significant improvement on this season (and if you can finish around there, then you have every chance of winning silverware if you are in the Europa league or its more recent junior offshoot).
Considering what £60m was buying them previously, I think its an upgrade

To be honest considering they put all their eggs in it and fluked past Lyon before losing the final I’m not sure even that’s a given.

Is there 66 pages anywhere on here discussing a player we aren’t signing and never will be signing?
I had a Quick Look and Messi has 400 posts not pages.

That too a moderated forum with strict posts per day limits so that the likes of Mubseh can’t rub it in more.

Just seen Utd’s opening bunch of games.
Amorim to be sacked before the end of October.
