Yeah, I wonder why any player in the world joins us. Going back, wonder why Ronaldo joined Madrid, why Cantona joined United, why Rooney joined us etc. etc. It’s almost, almost as if players may also desire a really prestigious club, see the plan and want to make their names as the players that played a major role in bringing glory to such a club - oh, and yes, while earning good money while at it - and being one of the idols for the best-supported and loved club in the fecking world.
It’s bizarre really that some of our fans can overlook this. As for the “better chance of winning more trophies”, BS! City are on an unprecedented high but this won’t last forever. Even Pep’s Barca team didn’t win consecutive CLs and the Real team that has won 2 CLs (albeit just 1 La Liga) is in dire straits right now domestically and facing PSG in the CL.
If United land Sanchez and add 2-3 shrewd signings to this one, I’d argue we’d be well on our way to unseating City. The defeatism and pessimism as well as the Pep-fellating in here is nauseating at times.
