Nice job. So it's less than a billion, maybe a lot less. Have you included the players out on loan?
Good job Bob. Cheers.
I think even that 250m spend last summer is slightly exaggerated.
Rivals always bump our numbers up anyway.
varane was 30 not 50 too I think. and you don’t have Casemiro/Antony in the 11?
You're right about Varane, 35. Was sure it was 50!
Those two are the 75 and 80, right? Forgot to put the star on casemiro, feels like he's been running the midfield forever!
But anyway the numbers should be roughly right. It's a very expensive squad but still some distance from a billion.
Idk why i thought you guys were sarcastically talking about players ages.
OK this made me laugh quite a lot.
It's amazing how even with the media loving to inflate United fees, Casemiro being the latest, that the poster still managed to inflate it even more.
75m now?!
It was €60m for casemiro iirc. It’s funny how they seem to do that with united.
Their fan base is the most self righteous without any shadow of a doubt. They love to sit around and talk about how they would react if a hypothetical situation were to happen to their club or their players, and yet we've seen time and time again with this lot that when something does genuinely happen they act like the most entrenched bunch of pricks you've ever seen. They're on par with City fans sometimes.
Still salty
They would know all about PEDS
'Lucky' Ten Hag
United boom bust cycle?
It is quite telling that they are still bitter & salty over 36 hours removed from the CC’s final whistle.
Ahhhh so it's a Mickey Mouse trophy now because we've won it but it wasn't when they won it last season 
In the words of Joey Tribbiani "We're back baby"
In the words of Joey Tribbiani "We're back baby"
What are they on about? The League is and was always a major trophy. It was a major trophy when Liverpool won it last year and it still is one now that United have won it. A few bitter fans mocking it when one of the big teams win it doesn’t negate it from being a major trophy
These silly pricks celebrated the League Cup on an open-top bus parade. The 50% quadruple.
What I hate about Newcastle, Chelsea and City - (but Newcastle most of all) - is that they are rewarded for doing everything wrong for 20 years. Basically thats what this is about. The bigger and badly run a club is - the more chance of it getting bought by rich owners. Newcastle havent done anything right off the pitch for 25 years - and they are now rewarded by rich owners. Whereas clubs like Leicester, Brighton - who have done most things right - get another unworthy rich club to fight against!
This, but with an appearance of VAR that is a bit sketchy.A dubious winner in the 93th minute would make my weekend
Repeat of the penalty against Brighton that happened after the game would be absolutely amazing.A dubious winner in the 93th minute would make my weekend
Players all head to the dressing room, get called out 5 minutes later for the penalty, most of the fans have left the stadium and hear they've actually lost the game while on the way home.
No it isn’t. The fact that you’re even asking is odd.
There was recent analysis of each squad and United’s current squad is £670m and that’s including whatever EtH has spent. So he didn’t inherit a £1b squad did he?
Ah, Liverpool fans. The supporters of a club who faced the mighty Club Brugge and Borussia Mönchengladbach in their European finals.
Who remembers their League Cup final against Cardiff City under Dalglish? The one which they scraped by and had to rely on a penalty kick shootout to win it?
Their lack of self-awareness is quite something. Never change, RAWK.
They must never change. It’s one of the threads I love the most.
The awareness is so bad
They had the craziest run in last years Champions League. Just no good opponents before the finale.Do these rival fans honestly believe that VAR is being manipulated to help us? Everytime we get a goal awarded after an offside check I see multiple comments claiming stuff like "they used a different angle to make it look onside" or "they drew the lines on wonky to make it look onside" and one person on a BBC HYS even claimed that they used some kind of CGI to move the defender forward so the picture looked like it was onside.
Will they give us a guard of honor walking out on pitch.A dubious winner in the 93th minute would make my weekend
I'm chuckling just thinking about this
A dubious winner in the 93th minute would make my weekend
I must admit these are better shouts that the 4-0 drubbing. This will royally piss off their fanbase

second xi cost: 334.7
Plus Pellestri: 7.65, Sabitzer had no loan fee, and I’m not counting anyone currently out on loan.
Total cost is 710.9. Doesn’t include any add ons because we have no way of knowing how much of those we’ve actually paid.
Given how ETH has turned that squad around, you’d only look at AWB, Maguire, Sancho, and VdB and say we grossly overpaid. Antony maybe too but he has so much time to prove he is worth the money. He looks really good already I believe. Same goes for Sancho. I think he’ll eventually end up being worth the money. At least I hope so.
Previous players who were berated include Fred and Lindelof, but Fred I personally think is the best back up #8 in the league, and in todays money, Lindelof as a reliable back up CB at 32m, is a decent transfer. As many of us knew, many of these players are much better than their first couple of years showed under previous managers.
DDG at 17m is one of the best value transfers in our history. Martinez at 47m is a fecking snip for how good he is and what he brings to the table. Shaw for 30m for what will end up being 10-15 years of service is another great deal. Varane at 34m is incredible. 51m for Bruno is brilliant in todays money. And while 60m for a 29yr old DM might seem like a lot, Casemiro is the most transformational signing in a decade.
It’s been said a lot that we spent money incredibly poorly. History may need to be revised. While we have signed some duds, we’ve also signed a lot of good players but just didn’t know how to coach them or run the club.

They’re closer to Forrest in the table than they are to us
Some good points. Funny how a good coach can change everything.
Not even gold, looks like they are cavemen discovering fire for the first time.
Although there are some people who want to have a conversation on the HYSs, the majority of stuff on there is garbage, and just people trying to wind rival fans up. I've developed a love/hate relationship with it this season, but am getting bored of it. I saw the comments you quoted, but wouldn't be surprised if someone else used them for another team/match, because that's all some of the posters do.
Been like this for years. Rival fans ignore stuff like the McTom trip which came at 1-0 up v Palace and numerous other things that went against us. Yet mention the goal v City, which whatever anyone thinks wasn't against the rules.
It’s like something out of the early scenes in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Getting worried now:
