Just read United have 450mill euro done Jose joined that will go past the 500 before this transfer window is over.
Plus the very expensive free signings of ibra and Sanchez.

Pre season is a bit of a farce at the moment 17 first team players missing through WC and injuries . At least we have a manager who won't make an issue out of it and keep a cool head.

I think it was James Stretford that wrote
"Jose and Pep arrived at the same time. Pep has signed 20 players, Jose has signed 9. Rediculous to expect Jose to win a gunfight with a bread knife. "

Pep did what needed to be done. Jose didn't. Pep identified the weaknesses in the squad and patched them, we didn't.

Whether that is because Woody isn't great I don't know. How many players has Pep signed that have since been moved on?

The wastage at our club is simply astounding in no other business would it be tolerated.

That’s a decent post Beast. We bought players only to quickly ship them out at a big loss, some pretty shabby business done in recent years.

None of the players signed by Mourinho is shipped out for a big loss though. Zlatan was free when he came and left for free. We got Sanchez (might not fit United but a better player) in return for Mkhi.

Incompetence is endemic through the club.

Cyclo, Zlatan cost us somewhere between 30-60m in wages and agents fees. For 18 months, in which he made 33 appearances and scored 17 goals.

In no way could Zlatan be considered free or cheap.

The Sanchez/ Mkhitaryan swap cost us in agents fees and Sanchez is on higher wages and is a year older than Mkhitaryan. So we did incur significant costs in bringing in Sanchez.

Also as a side note, Mkhitaryan had scored and assisted more goals in his first six months than Sanchez has. So, it could be argued that those costs haven't yet improved us.

Those are the ones who have already been shipped out. The club has offered Pogba to four different clubs (Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Chelsea) . None of those clubs are interested at the costs involved. Which means if Jose is to get his wish and for ours and his record signing to be sold it will be at a loss to our club.

He also wants to sign another CB, with Lindelof's long term future in doubt. That will likely be another player we make a loss on which Jose bought.

Jose would also like the club to sell 75m+ worth of talent in Martial and Shaw, because he can't get the best out of them. Both are entering the final year of their contacts (although there is a further one year option with Martial) . It is likely we will make a loss on one or even both of them.

Jose has spent a over 450m, so far and only Matic and Lukaku look like genuine first choice starters in Jose's eyes. That is a shocking record, especially when that 450m figure doesn't include the Zlatan costs.

What do we care about the money. We are Man Utd if a player is wanted go and get him. It is not our money all we want is a winning team 😆😆.
