Fucking they look shite

Arsenal have strengthened - Tierney, Luiz, Pepe

Man City - Have kept Sane (for now) and have bought some Fullbacks.

Spurs - Have strengthened

What shocks me is the forward players that Man Utd and Chelsea are starting the season with.

Man Utd - Rashford

Sunday could be the worst 0-0 ever seen

[Syntexity]

Trevor Morley on tv in Norway explaining to the Man Utd fanclub boss/editor that their recruitment and scouts are shit and that he should be embarassed to call the window a strong 4 out of 6 

When the guy tried to argue about that how well they played in Solskjaers first months and how they scored so many goals and all those players were still there and yadda yadda, Morley said it wasnt that good or dominant and a lot of luck. Pretty spot on that.

You were linked with more players than any other club this summer, real quality players, too. I know some will be clickbait shit, but no smoke and all that. Is Ed actually as crap as we all joke he is?

Ignoring the stupid wages, why would any decent player go there? OGS as manager, no CL, loads of shit players. City, Us, Arsenal and Spurs are all better options in England and any number of foreign clubs are a much better option.

[Felch Aid]

We might take the piss out of Lukaku but he's scored plenty of goals during his time there.

No real improvement in midfield, Ole not tactical enough and the EL Thursday / Sunday obligations.

I don't think Woodward has backed him in case it all goes pear shaped.

Which begs the question, why the fuck did they appoint him full time in the first place?

When's the last time we were THIS much better than them...

It's not impossible. We were as shit not many years ago,but we managed to find good players like Suarez and Coutinho and rebuild from there. Key is having people that can spot good players, good value, otherwise spending big is useless. The fact that they're spend most of their money on well known PL players suggests that they don't have any scouting.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Woodward has knocked them off their perch

The key is getting a world class manager who puts every single piece into its right place like Klopp or Pep did. The club had ample time to woo either of those out and out world class managers to the club and failed. It's the worst failure of post Ferguson

When was the last time they actually scouted players though? For as long as I remember, even when they were shit, it was always chuck money at well know players. (Ronaldo they robbed off us) It's not in their DNA to scout

[Passmaster Molby]

I am beginning to think Woodward is either a City or Liverpool fan.

I don’t know, he did get to spend 130 million on two defenders. That’s good backing.

[stoopid yank]

It's not as bad as they are crying about.  They lost 10 league games last season. Maguire and Bassaka will turn many of those into 0-0s as mentioned.

Sad to see that the Smalling-Jones comedy duo has come to an end. Was always entertaining.

Are either of those elite level?

[SerbianScouser]

I love agent Woodward.

[stoopid yank]

No

Smalling and Jones were never elite.

[The North Bank]

Finally some good news for United.
Rojo is like a new signing.

Whereas Luke Shaw Elite anything!

Bravo

Because he hadn't turned to shit by that time, that was the week after the contract [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

These lot have proper fucked up this window, worst run club in the country currently [emoji23]

Should’ve signed Rooney just then. He would’ve filled Lukaku’s position well.

Jan was still a better player than any one them when he was at his heaviest

It is bad. The defending can only get you so far when you don't have the creativity or goals to win matches. You can draw tons of matches and also drop points that way.

[Peabee]

Who’ve they signed to replace Lukaku?

They'll have to get the shirt taken in

[DonkeyWan]

Lukaku was their second leading goal scorer last season (15) after Pogba (16).  He's gone without a replacement and Pogba wants to go. Would be like Mane being sold and Salah looking to leave.

Luke Shaw will be made up when he finds out they've traded Lukaku in for a fridge

Lukaku is shit so his numbers aren't irreplaceable thankfully, our top 6 fight is on

[PhaseOfPlay]

Scored at a rate of 1 goal every 180 minutes. Played 2130 minutes. That's elite-level outcomes. Pogba was at 1 every 277 minutes.

If United can replace Lukaku's numbers there, they'll challenge for the league!
