Hope this is bshit .
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Football is different now though, there's much more money involved and the managerial merry go round is a lot faster than 30 years ago. We'll win a title before 30 years time.
It's not. Luckhurst is reliable. Reported by The Athletic too, it's as solid as a report as you can get.
Maybe, but it’s nearly been ten years already. Could easily see us not winning one for another ten.
No. God no. Give the youngsters his chance.
So we’ve gone from signing older talented centre forwards to bidding for bang average older centre forwards?
It’s clown town at Old Trafford.

That’s the main issue I’d have with a transfer like this. Rate him or not this could have been done in July, I get things change but who were we chasing in attack then
The continuation of the scattergun approach has been the most disheartening part of this off season. We can see early signs of progress on the field [todays aside] but have absolutely nothing to look to off it.
Is this April's fools ??
It's so left field and completely uninspiring
Act like a midtable club you can expect midtable results. We're done as a top club.
Because we're reactionary and have no real plan nor strategy in place. This transfer window has been no different to all the others
They gave up already.
You have no idea who his targets are. This mightve been his 6th choice for all your know and the board could've let him down.
We seem nailed on for the banter trophy again.
If I knew we would end up bidding for this guy, I'd have been screaming for Nunez or Richarlison or Scamacca
My only guess would be that after assessing our squad during pre-season EtH has realised they are nowhere near good enough, or even worse than he had expected, or that they are incapable of following instructions, have an atrocious work ethic, etc
We’ve been on one-year stopgaps since Falcao! Zlatan, Ighalo, Cavani, Ronaldo! Enough.
Belotti on a free or Arnautovic which is the less shitty transfer
Surely we can identify an aged average player to come into the midfield too.
At no point in his best phase as a footballer, I'd ever wanna sign him. Wtf is going at our beloved club ?
Our squad didn't need much assessment. ETH just needed to have a Caf account
Exactly what you want to see when you lose your opening fixture due to lack of a midfield.
Let’s sign a 33 year old striker from the Chinese league!

Mark Noble coming out of retirement for a season?
It's a signing you make when you've botched the transfer window and are desperate beyond reason. Even for us, that takes time.
He plays for Bologna, but still, yeah
Jesus
Just checked, I was sure he went to China but yeah he’s been at Bologna for a year. At least he’s been in a decent ish league then.
I’m guessing we’ve been told Sesko is a no go, and Ten Hag needs his Haller.
Can't be any worse.
Exactly, it makes no sense. Nothing has changed behind the scenes.
Far from scattergun. Chelsea are taking a scattergun approach. We are not.
What's Crouchy up to?
I am a Melbourne Victory fan and I don't think I'd be all that excited for him. What has happened to you guys.
Exactly, even at his absolute best he was painfully average and a twat to boot. So even the comparison to Zlatan or Cavani doesn't hold up
We're desperate. I suppose at least we're trying to act on it.
Just an absolute joke at this point really.
What an utterly depressing thought.
If our shit club is reduced to signing a shit player who has previously been banned for racism due to their own hideous mismanagement it’s just another symbol of how low we have fallen
