Melissa reddy.. loving her tweet about lack of strategy. She’s been a mouthpiece all pre season and positive about us.. so it’s good to see she speaks the truth when needed.
Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
No, it was not. Suarez was antagonizing/deliberately provoking Evra and he didn't use the same term either.
What are we going to email Arnold about now?
I take it you mean "I'm fecking your Albanian mother" (not "I'm your fecking Albanian mother" - which actually would've been a brilliant, if somewhat incomprehensible, insult).
Anyway - the translation doesn't capture what he said according to native speakers: he didn't use the neutral term "Albanian" but an uglier word, a derogatory term referring to someone with a particular background.
So we have backed out of signing a player we decided to buy in a panic due to some angry emails sent to the chief executive. We really are run by a bunch of daft cnuts.
If you didn't laugh, you'd cry. What have these cnuts done to this once proud football club?
We were daft to even consider him. This is the most sensible thing out of the whole situation, all involved in that decision should hang their head in shame.
What worries me is that if he wasn’t racist that we would likely have signed him based on deeming him to be a valuable addition to the team right now.
I’m not sure what’s more scary, that it took the fans raging out for the club to realize signing a known racist, sexist guy is a bad idea, or that they think he is what we need right now.

Kneejerking aside, I remember watching him at Stoke. Completely uninspiring and consistently struggled to score. That said his chances were limited as Stoke City at that point were very defensive.
Nice pulling out just like I pull out every ti..
Never mind.
Never mind.
Just when you think the club can’t sink any lower.
Next we’ll be deciding transfer targets via Twitter polls. We can use it to show club social media engagement when we’re shopping around for a new shirt sponsor.

That’s how Ronaldo was signed isn’t it?
It would, but it would mean nothing. Unless it's something being shared publicly, such things don't tend to hold much weight with senior management of a company. At best, it might mean they ask for an improved email filter for the company. I know that most medium to large companies I've worked with have pretty complex email firewalls to stops this sort of thing having any impact.
Sue Cooke's pulled out
Can we go get ardua turan pretty sure his on a free and 35, if we want to go all in on the basket case team look
We're moving further down the list, don't expect things to get better
Reading the thread title made give a big sigh of relief.
Madness undone.

Thank God we've pulled outWhat was their pull? Actual fecking direction. United have not got a clue on what they are doing.
Those two examples can be explained easily.
- Arsenal have a young team with a lot of good pieces and have shown obvious progression and direction
- Newcastle have done something United are awful at, proper scouting in bidding on guys like Guimarães and Botman while United are chasing FDJ and Haaland when those players laugh at the prospect of joining United in their current state.
The only reason FDJ might join is to play with some of his buddies and former manger. Like I said in the first post you will get the few exceptions who will go to United to get a nice pay day I.E Pogba, Alexis.
As I keep stating United have a much bigger problem then played and coaches and the worst part is they have no clue on how to fix it at the moment.
What i don't get is we are being told we pulled out because of the negative reaction of the fans yet every week Mcfred are sent out in front of the fans
Best part of him dribbled onto the sheets by the sounds of it.
He also played left wing. Was better at West Ham as a striker. Missing the magic of being a great goalscorer, but very good and well rounded otherwise. Had we been signing the player that left them, I would be saying we were getting a good player. Doubt he's the same player though, and seems it's no longer on the cards anyway.
So they caved in due to fan and media reaction.
This is beyond crazy. This club is fecked.

McTominay and Fred aren't racists. If the club pulled out of every signing who fans thought were crap we wouldn't sign anyone this window
The worst austrian in the history of time
Except that Albania is not really a race... different backgrounds live there, most are tanned muslims yes, but still difficult to label Albania as one race.
I mean... by now everyone knows if a name ends with "-ic" its worth doing a little background check to avoid these kind of suprises. If this upsets you, dont dig further into Sasa Kalajdzic as you will find both are from Serbian descent.
The same Newcastle who pretty much tried every single available player ? You call that as scouting ? Nice !!
Arsenal has been one of the biggest spenders in the last 2 years. The only reason why Jesus joined is because of the reason you mentioned - his buddies !!
Direction and scouting- my foot.

Well yeah, he’s clearly a shithouse, but not sure he tops Hitler :-)
I wasn't particularly excited about this transfer. However, if Murtough is putting much stock in fan opinion I'd be a bit worried, he's supposed to have more of a clue than we do.
Wish the Glazers pulled out when they were buying us
I'm still so convinced this wasn't a real move for him, it was just to make everything else seem better by comparison. Also, to make it look like the board/management listened to fan opinion.
Happy he isn't coming anyway.
Off to the Schick thread then....
Let’s believe everything in the news
Nothing has changed.
I'm perfectly aware of his heritage and the cultural background, it's still bullshit
It's quite incredible to see how many people tried to justified a racist.
