Big day today.
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Our club hasn't changed one bit!
They take us for a ride each and every year!

Shows that everything you read is absolute bollocks to be honest. No one has a clue. The only real evidence we have is that we’re fecking useless on and off the pitch.
Murtough has also been part of various management segments of United, so don't think it's that far off. But yeah, the general structure is a mess
I refuse to believe

Let's go full retard and sign Balotelli for 20m?
Play Dalot as a striker instead. Very clinical.
if this comes to be, we might as well all pack up and go home. if we are going for older, spend the extra on quality and see if we can get Vardy. Frankly, we'd be better off with Dion Dublin!
He is very creative our Dalot, yesterday he almost created a goal for Brighton inside 60 seconds, he can player the false 9 just as good as Bruno i reckon. Very good idea.
Slept on this and now think it will be a huge mistake by ETH. People judge managers on their signings, this would be a big red mark against ETH.
He'd be better sticking with the kids.

Such as being a vile racist cnut?
He’s been part of a very unsuccessful regime for a decade. He is a product of said regime and one of the main reasons it was unsuccessful. The main reason (Woodward) also had a hand in selecting the current regime (Arnold and Murtough), so it’s little wonder we continue to spin into mediocrity.
It's like the scout reports folder was deleted and they are having to use paper copies filed 10 years ago
OH FFS is this how far we have dropped, a 33 year old striker, who's stats don't exactly light up him being an good.
If being past it, never that good, and a racist wasn't enough.
Sounds like an absolute charmer.

I refuse to believe this is real. EtH would be better off with the kids. this would be a very bad look.
...and who said to me the other day, United won't do panic buys.....!! 
Even I am beginning to laugh at this ongoing joke.

This transfer and the whole transferperiod in general reminds me a lot of two things: first of the way Moyes and Woody handled the transferwindow, being Linked FC and chasing what if’s and seemingly having no plan in place what so ever.
And secondly the targets we are after all being ETH mates reminds me of the van Gaal period with bringing in players that are far from the level that we aspire to be but are probably very good (chemistry) guys. Examples LVG: Romero, Blind, Schweini, Valdes, Depay. Examples ETH: Malacia, Antony, Martinez, Arnautovic, FDJ etc.
I know it’s early days but both are equally worrying and indicate that we have learned nothing from the last 7 or 8 years and thus are as unprepared as when Sir Alex left

Sinking to new lows with this one. By all accounts it’s because McLaren working with him years ago.
The state of our recruitment team is truly frightening

It says so much about the people in charge at our club that they thought the best response to make after the loss to Brighton was a press brief that we are going to buy this guy

Going out on a limb here, but perhaps you can buy Robert Bozenik from us instead? He didn't really work out for us and was also found lacking at Fortuna Dusseldorf, but who knows. He scored against Ten Hag's Ajax once and we only need 3.5 million to break even.
Joey Barton now being linked.
Its like a parallel universe where Fergie went for Iain Dowie rather than Andy Cole.
Get Welbeck instead
I reckon this is because they expect Greenwood back at some point this season, I hear some rumours it's going to be pushed under the carpet being "role play".
So if he's coming back mid season, why not have a bigger cnut to take the spotlight off him for a couple of months

The club really should be protecting our manager. We all know they wanted Poch.. there are going to be after him hard.Listen to your bloody scouting team who recommended Ruben Diaz, Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish.
I understand pessimism sells but why pretend we are only making one signing this summer?
He's only talking about strikers, and as it stands we've not even made one
I mean, i think Crystal Palace fans would by livid with this suggestion...Jesus what have we become.
He would be brought in as a 3rd choice striker (behind Ronaldo & Martial) - would he really be that bad?
My only concern is, are the extra few goals worth bringing that personality into the dressing room?

I mean I'm not sure doubling (or tripling) down on the number of cnuts you have at the club is a good idea from a PR perspective. It then becomes less about the individual and more about the club.
We should be absolutely nowhere near this and whoever suggested it needs to give their head a serious wobble.
Lot of top teams looking to address the striker position this window - City got Haaland, Liverpool got Darwin, Arsenal got Jesus. Not to be outdone, we’re looking at…Arnautovic
If that were to happen I'd be done with this club. No exaggeration, it'd be too much
But one of those is a 38 year old and the other a crock. There's a good choice he'd see a lot of minutes.
Even ignoring the obvious morality issues of this, surely he can’t ever be the same player again? Purely from a football point of view, I mean.
He's not been out that long, and in theory could have stayed fit by himself, opposed to suffering a long injury, for example. It was a crucial stage in his development, so that could be an issue, but just the time spent out of the game shouldn't be that problematic
