Wasn't Martial offered to Spurs for £25 million a couple of months back?

 

Shame to see a big club with an identity going down the gutter under that spade faced clown.

 

Agree.

He got 21 goals for my Nantes side in the 2016/17 season

The last few seasons there has been plenty of upsets early doors but the cream has still risen to the top.

We won't see Spurs there but Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Chelsea are going to be in the top 5. I've got a feeling that if either of them seriously underperform then the manager will get the boot as Klopp is on standby to walk into any job and just the new manager bounce alone will keep that team in the hunt.

 

It does happen every season but I genuinely feel that we are looking at a possible transition season. No one ever doubted a Fergie team after 4 games and they were notorious slow starters. Mourinho looks a broken man with Chelsea looking so vulnerable defensively with some poor poor performances so far. United look more solid but they have lost an attacking edge and look average going forward. Arsenal, should in theory, be challenging every season but they never seem to find the right balance in their squad. Man City look like the stand out team this season but looked average last year. It's the inconsistencies of the top teams that believes me to believe that it can happen, and it happens more and more often. Five years ago the top teams were getting 80 points plus, and would lose less games.

The midtable clubs have bought very well, the top English clubs can't attract the talent as the top European clubs are better whereas midtable sides here are seen as a step up whilst offering more money.

Swansea signing Ayew, Stoke getting Shaqiri, basically all of our signings, Newcastle with Mitrovic and Thauvin, West Brom signing Rondon and West Ham have bought Payet. These players are all very good signings whereas the top sides haven't made any groundbreaking ones, arguably Pedro and De Bruyne but it's not as if one squad is streets ahead of the chasing pack

In the midst of all their odd spending, they've finally agreed a deal with Madrid for De Gea according to Sky. With in form Kaylor Navas going the other way.

Seriously, wtf is Van Gaal doing?

 

De Gea set to go, apparently happy with James Wilson competing with Rooney, Smalling as main CB, Januzaj going on loan (who I think can do a job for them) and Hernandez going permanently.

 

 

I'll be surprised if they make the top-3, and shocked if they make the top-2.

does anyone reckon there is a worse strike force in the prem than uniteds atm?

Reckon Rooney would keep Jerome out of the Norwich team. Otherwise no.

It's without a doubt in the bottom half.

 

I just don't get why they've waited until now to throw that kind of money at someone that age?

 

Last season I think it was about 10 games in and it looked really obvious who was going to win the league. 4 games in this year and it looks so clear-cut already. Man City look on a totally different level to everyone else.

If it ever reaches £58 million they'll probably have won the champions league so it will probably have been worth it unless he turns into some sort of Vermaelen perks-bench-warming character so I'm ignoring that price.

But £36 million is absolutely mental. No caps for France, 1 in 5 in the French league as a centre forward and little to no experience in the champions league. Makes the Sterling transfer look an absolute sure thing by comparison.

I am not sure what Van Gaal is doing anymore. It is the way they play that confuses me. They have no movement up front at all, that can only be because they are instructed to. He won't last the season I think.

They were lucky to finish top 4 last season even after spending all that money. They got there largely off the back of winning 6 (?) straight games in November/December in which they were the better side in 0 and also the poverty of the opposition. Spurs, Everton and Liverpool were all far better the previous season.

I'd go so far as to say that the United that finished 4th last year were the weakest English team to qualify for the champions league for 10 years and maybe since football was invented in 1992.
