Tony G told Manchester United transfer will make him a global megastar

It must be a pretty big pull to think about all the potential kids with your name on their shirts, to be fair. And that's the good old fashioned side of football really, not #griezboom
 
On your bike!
He's a politician now believe it or not

Wow...!
I didn't know, what a scary thought.
Almost Trump level scary.
Let's hope he come up against Helmuth in the elections, i'd pay to watch that! :lol:
 
Football is a business at the end of the day and Man United are a global brand because of the business aspect as well as the footballing aspect. We're in the top three when it comes to be a global brand. Now based on our recent footballing achievements, we should have dropped down but we haven't. We're still popular and if we can pull Griezmann over here because of the global superstar appeal, I wouldn't be upset at all. If he comes, our team would be strong and he could take us up a notch with his ability and performances. So yes to him!

Do it.
 
Football isn't a business.
Sadly it is. Until the crowd is displeased and boos and then it's not, and we should all be encouraging old school supporters geeing the team up, until they are doing well again then we are back to being customers who must have every single penny extracted from us by any means necessary.
Football lost any right to talk of playing for the shirt, a long time back.
 
Despite our sentiments and romanticism as fans commercialism is a fact of football industry.

If Mourinho thinks Tony G will improve the team the club accountants also have a duty to make sure purchasing him makes financial economic sense. Making wrong decisions weakens the clubs financial standing and purchasing power of talent going forward.
 
PS: I think we have Micki and Mata playing similar positions as Tony G. I can't see him being a central striker. This should be our priority in the transfer market. Rashford, and Martial are not yet ready or not target men.

It clearly is. For example, go read the thread about the fans not cheering on United at OT. A lot of fans in the thread are saying they will cheer when the football is entertaining. IMO, that's very similar to saying you'll cheer and clap at the end of a play if the performance was good. Whether it's originally the clubs' fault or not, fans mentality has clearly changed to that of a customer.
