We must buy the next Messi

Fellaini fits into Van Gaal ideology more than a player like Messi. So, it will be a waste of money.

On a serious note, how is Alen Halilovic doing in Barcalona academy? He looked the real deal when I last saw him.
 
Best thread in a while. Missing ingredient in our strategy without a doubt.

Is it possible to buy the next Florentino Perez?
 
A potential early contender for "thread of the year". Don't let it die.
 
A subtle and cunning plan indeed.
I'm just amazed that no one thought of it before.

Watching Barca play cat-and-mouse with City, I realized that they have bought their best players: Suarez, Neymar, even Messi himself.

Man Utd is the richest football club in the world. We should identify and buy the best players in the world. That's how we'll be as good or better than Barca and Real. There is no other way. We cannot expect to produce this type of talent. We have to identify it and buy it.

I know that we are not used to operate like this. Perhaps the reason was that SAF did not like to work with super-star players. Or he did not like to spend. Or the owners did not give him money. We don't know the truth but it does not matter any more. Things have changed.

We are the richest club in the world but we cannot expect to get anywhere with Evans and the likes we have been producing during the past decade. We have to spend a lot and buy the best players. Di Maria is a start but he is not enough.

Bless ya, nick.

I know what you're saying, should've put in here mate - https://www.redcafe.net/threads/why-is-our-transfer-approach-so-abject-and-shockingly-poor.401457/

Then we could've faced the green smilies together.
 
The OP hasn't been online since hitting the 'post thread' button. I can just imagine his delight when he comes back on and sees his thread has two pages of replies and he's got a bunch of quote alerts.

Then he reads it all.

All right, but he acted as an idiot few times. Latest is that he announced on twitter how long he's gonna be out cause of his injury and got a warning from the club not do it again.
I think his head will be his main obstacle.

Surely this poster isn't for real? A troll thread.
 
Judging by the way he screwed up that diving header he'll fit right in with Falcao and RvP.

Give the guy a bit of credit. There's no way this isn't tongue in cheek.

It's a rival to Boss's "Attack the space" if it is actually genuine though.
 
We should buy the next....

------------------schmeichal.................
Cafu.......Ferdinand----vidic-----Carlos
------------Keane------scholes----------
-------------------zidane---------------
---Ronaldo-------ronaldo------Messi----

Buy them all aged 16 - 18 and we are good for the next 15 years!
Sack LVG and hire the next Fergie whilst we are at it....
 
I dunno, he's still not been back online.

I think it's the forum equivalent of dropping the mic after a knock-out battle rap line.

"we must buy the next Messi"

*log out*

*dust dirt from shoulder and exit room*

:lol: Seriously, I hope this is genuine and he's logged off really proud of himself.
 
I've got a better idea....

Let's appoint Simon Cowell as a new assistant to the CEO and then host a new show called "Man Utd Factor". We'll then offer open auditions to all of the world's would-be ball jugglers. We'll make a few quid, have a bit of a laugh at the sh*t ones in the early rounds and then, when it starts to get serious, assign each of the finalists to a Class of 92 mentor. The contestants can then go round to their Cheshire mansions to get a few tips on the best tricks- the unlucky ones will get the Nevs. The winner at the end gets a contract in the academy- simples!

We'll find the next world's best player (I think) and it will be far cheaper, unless Simon Cowell wants £100 Million up front and then £500,000 a week thereafter, in which case we're f***ed.

:lol: Quality post.
 
When this kid gets back from school tomorrow and logs back on hes in for a shock with the amount of positive replies on his intricate market strategy. The lad needs an mbe if im honest. FM personified. :D
 
:lol:First enjoyable thread in the United forum in two long years.
 
Early candidate for thread of the year. Can't argue with that kind of logic.
