summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

[fakeyank]

I love how full of shit you are

I love how it’s not sufficient for you to hold a ridiculous opinion but you have to claim that we’d all think the same as you if we were being honest.

He was quiet, it wasn’t a great game but the idea that he did any harm to our chances of getting all three points especially compared with Ramsdale is a joke.

No Saliba was put in the position by Ramsdale who should have called for him to leave it but when charging out and left Saliba to deal with a ball.
His save from Fofana wasn’t that great, it was more a case of a defenders finish. And if it hadn’t been for the fact that VAR officials decided to intervene to point out that Vardy is a cheating cunt, his impetuousness would have cost us a penalty as well. Yes Vardy dived but the reason we were in that position was because he came charging out and didn’t get the ball.

Saka is playing in front of Ben White therefore he’s basically having to get the ball from deep himself to make any attacking headway where as Martinelli is getting far more supply from Zinchenko on the left.

In the small time Tomoyasu was on the pitch you could see a complete change in Saka’s effectiveness but interesting how you the impartial observer never mention that.

United on the verge of signing Casemiro.

Solid player but huge outlay on someone who’s probably had his best years now.

I guess Eddie Howe's trying to buy in some more experience

The very definition of a panic buy. The problem is they’ve got a restive fan base who have until nine years ago been used to winning and competing for major silverware. Even having a go at the Glazers for their lack of spending if you can believe that.
Casemiro is a decent defensive midfielder but he’s not going to get them to play the way they want to be playing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They couldn't get De Jong, they couldn't get Rabiot.

Now they go for Casemiro.

Does feel quite odd. Obviously had a great time with Real Madrid in the Champions League but it feels like such a short-sighted signing.

And it's done.

How much did they offer?

[HCZ_Reborn]

What fresh hell is this?


Casemiro is an excellent CDM it should be said arguably been one of Real Madrid’s best players for years. But 70 million for a player who is already 30 when the team needs a complete overhaul is insanity writ large

Where’s Gary Neville gone? I didn’t see him dancing with the Brentford fans last week and I’m not seeing his detailed breakdown of united’s transfer strategy? I guess he feels it’s so clear that maybe he doesn’t have to?

What an absolute basket-case of a club! The manager, the owners and the fans all want something different and they don’t know which way to turn. Ten Hag has his plan, but the owners can’t stop chasing the commercial signings that they’re addicted to. The fans accept that they’re looking at a 2-3 year restructuring and rebuild, but they also demand immediate results and are ready to call time on it after two bad games.

Paul on Arsenal Vision nailed it - they’re like a donkey caught between 3 different carrots on 3 different sticks and they’re going to end up starving to death, turning in circles, because they don’t know which one to go for.

Yep, whilst I’m not at all sold on the “process” in terms of Arteta being the visionary of that process, ultimately there’s no doubt in my mind that we’ve chosen the right method of bringing in young players and giving those from the academy who have shown promise a chance.
The thing is whether Arteta himself turns out to be a failure is immaterial to the direction we’ve chosen being the correct one.
And with United there is clearly a lack of leadership in terms of someone as you say choosing one of the carrots and being clear to the fans about what their intentions are.
