They've still got Jones then? A blessed relief.
Thank Fowler we're not getting Caulker
They are signing much better players than last year. Schneiderlin is a quality player. Exactly what we need and continue to ignore
To be fair we have to divert every penny into a striker.
Interesting signings they're making tbf.Hope they flop but on paper they're looking a lot stronger than us considering they finished 4th.
Crosby Nick never fails.
Must be nice to be in a position where you can spend £300m net in 12 months and still be in no danger of FFP because you are so rich in terms of the income you generate.
We’ll still finish in top four - and they won’t. You can quote me on this in May.
Could have been us to be fair but we fucked up big time in the 90's. They on the other hand just kept building, building and building. Not worried yet though. Their defence is still a bag of shit and they are about to lose their best player that as the sole reason they got top 4. Oh yeah, they don't have a good enough ST either.
They apparently want a defender and a striker. Otamendi and Lacazette apparently.
Shut the fuck up and put some respek on Lucas name playboy
They probably will go on to become a force again, that's inevitable, but it'll cost them close to £500m. They must feel really proud of that achievement.
Never read of any reputable Lacazette to United link.Where exactly have you heard this?
The Times.
Carrick, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger. Are they trying to have the build the slowest midfield ever?
United have had a brilliant window so far. Post-Ferguson they've just thrown a ton of money at clubs, but I guess it works.Quite clear that it'll be between Chelsea and United for the title next year. I'd have Chelsea as favourites, but I think it'll be very close.
Surely not a serious post?

Still the 4th best team in the league.The attack doesn't hold up when you compare it to the other three. They lack an elite attacker. Chelsea have Hazard, Arsenal hold Sanchez and City possess Aguero.
Haha! Ok then if you say so...
Which part don't you agree with?
Both main points, but fair enough if that's how you see it. Remains to be seen how those signings work out, but I wouldn't call it a brilliant window by their standards under Fergie. And they're still in need of a top striker and most likely a top keeper.I can't see them getting near Chelsea or City and will do well to finish above Arsenal.
I should've made it clear that I was kind of also assuming that they now go on to improve in other areas of the pitch as well. That will take them above City and Arsenal.
How can you even assume that? Besides they can spend however much, but it's not going to guarantee a signing of an elite attacker. Lacazette would be a very good signing but he's a tier below the likes of Hazard, Sanchez and Aguero.Unless they sign Bale, they will be lagging behind both City and Arsenal for the title.
I think it's a safe assumption to say that there will be more purchases to come. United will spend many more millions yet this window.For me their midfield is now better than both Arsenal and City's. So they don't need a top tier striker necessarily, they have quality everywhere.
Every team is only as good as they were at the end of last season. A couple of new signings doesn't make their midfield suddenly better than Arsenal and City's before a ball is even kicked.
Finished at the age of 26. The Mike Tyson of football.
Well we are fucked then because we were shit last season and lost 6-1 in the end.

Have a quite good midfield now, something they never did have under Ferguson.
