@AdamJoseph It amuses me that so many fans talk with such authority about what United are doing in the transfer market. No one has a clue if we’re honest.

Everyone just needs to calm down and wait and see. There will be signings.

[Gray @GrayTull]

@Alexjr002 @BackIndeed 100%

The club appears to be learning from previous mistakes, the same cannot be said of a lot the fans on here.

[Gray @GrayTull]

@RichRedVoices I suspect it’s bollocks.

Fans keep throwing around his name on here as a punchline.

Some journalists know this and throw his name into ‘midfielders United are looking at’ tweets and watch the bites come from the disgruntled fans who are growing more feverish by the day

[Gray @GrayTull]

United need to build a squad to compete in the league and cope with the UCL, they still need 3 midfielders, maybe a left back, maybe a striker, a wide attacker etc.

You don’t want to hear it, but they need to be sensible and know when to walk away.

[Gray @GrayTull]

I appreciate fans don’t want to hear about the financials and like being wilfully ignorant, but if United had just spent 185m like Spurs, with Ederson, that’s basically the transfer kitty gone.

[Gray @GrayTull]

@RichRedVoices I'm of the same mind, he'd be a useful player to have in the squad (if we ignore his wages).

The problem is, sadly there's still so many fans that actively hate him. All that toxicity that follows everything he does is still there and I fear that'll drown him all over again.

[Gray @GrayTull]

Saw the knicks at MSG about 5 years ago, was amused by how at no point was the crowd not being entertained, the court was never empty, even for timeouts.

Constant cheerleaders, car contests, advertising.

If this is how the US do sports, they can have it.

[Professor X @rationalhumanis]

We have three sports leagues in the US that each make far more revenue than any soccer league anywhere in the world. We have dozens of stadiums that are far beyond the best venue in most countries. Sports as entertainment is something we unquestionably do better than anyone else in the world.

So when US sports consumers give feedback, you would think people would listen, right? It's like French people commenting on your food or Germans talking about your engineering quality.

Nope! Just more Euro-snob bullshit. The bottom line is soccer is a worse product than American football or basketball. That's why we don't watch it. We have options.

[Gray @GrayTull]

@Danny_McMoomins Romesh (and his agent) will be looking over his shoulders at the panel show newbies and those SNL UK kids and know that one will surely rise up and end the Romesh era.

He’s just making it count.

[Gray @GrayTull]

@TridgeTV Pretty sure like every modern transfer, his agent is just trying to get the best deal possible.

And just like every transfer, he’ll sign for whoever and then be like ‘it was only ever United (or Spurs) for me’ and the fans will lap it up.

[Gray @GrayTull]

@SibsMUFC @nqatpod @FPLfrasier Exactly. Those clubs were able to spend that kind of money because they were already excellent. If the signing doesn’t work they’re still excellent!

United right now are just not in the position to spend 100m on a player and have it not work out.

[Gray @GrayTull]

Important to note that a lot of these ‘fans’ who are gutted he’s injured (because United can’t ship him out now), would have been clamouring for his signing 2 years ago and pissed off that the club weren’t just ‘paying the money’ to get it done.

[utdreport @utdreport]

Manuel Ugarte has gone off on a stretcher for Uruguay against Spain 🤕

[Gray @GrayTull]

@krishg1990 People know absolutely nothing about what’s going on.

I dont understand these people who spend their lives reacting to every little bit of transfer news, good and bad, some of which is false and deliberately pushed by invested parties.

It’s also still June ffs.

[Gray @GrayTull]

Same United idiots online upset because Ugarte is injured and we can’t sell him.

Presumably for some mythical decent fee they thought we’d get for him and not the inevitable ‘loan with obligation’ to mid-table Spanish club that it would almost certainly have been.

[Gray @GrayTull]

The definition of young, dumb and too much money.

[EuroFoot @eurofootcom]

Alejandro Garnacho's new look! 💈🇦🇷

[Gray @GrayTull]

Nobody could it see it coming that perma-injured Reece James is injured again???

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

🗣️ "Nobody could see it coming, Reece was in good shape."

Thomas Tuchel reacts to the news Reece James' World Cup could be over.

[Gray @GrayTull]

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I was never convinced United would sell Ugarte this summer anyway.

They need midfield bodies for next season and it’s not like there’d be a long list of clubs clamouring to sign him for a decent fee.

[Gray @GrayTull]

That is insane money.

The reality is, he could go to City, flop, or get injured, and to them it’s no big deal. They’d still be a decent side.

United just aren’t in the position to risk 130m on a player right now.

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 Elliot Anderson expected to join Manchester City from Nottingham Forest on 5yr contract + option to extend by 12mnths. 23yo #NFFC & #England midfielder’s #MCFC deal could be worth up to £300kpw across duration of terms if bonuses achieved @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/VdCgmbb0Kf

[Gray @GrayTull]

@_JackLewis @KingGary1234 Had a similar experience in a charity match. Opposition had an ex-Chelsea academy player who at that time was at Ross County.

He was playing at 50% and no one got near anywhere him. Always had time and space, could pick the top corner at will when within 30 yards.

Insane.

[Gray @GrayTull]

@SCFCJosh96 Anyone who has ever played on the same pitch with anyone remotely professional, or spent time in an academy will tell you the same thing.

They’re just on a completely different level.

[Gray @GrayTull]

This must be posted for engagement because this is utterly moronic.

The worst premier league player is in a different stratosphere to anyone down at your local five-a-side.

[Yakob 🇪🇬 @yakobper90]

Ngl we need to cut this bs that “PL footballers would make fans look ordinary in 5 aside”. I guarantee you I am better at football than a lot of these mid table players. Are you telling me I’d look shit in a pitch with guys like Will Hughes and Ryan Christie? Okay
