Whilst I would like a Mane transfer, for £35M I will remain bald.

I'd be lion if I said I didn't agree with you.
To the OP. Totally agree. Although, by the sounds of it, Pogba – or maybe his ego – didn't exactly help his cause...

I personally couldn’t give a shite who has a better transfer policy between those two. It is like deciding which of your friends you’d want to run off with your wife. I hope both clubs fail.

Manure's new CEO Richard Arnold admitted at the weekend:
"It doesn’t sit easy with me and I worry how we get this sorted for the future. What’s happened is we have f*cking burned through cash.
You can’t go to our training ground and say ‘show me where the £1 billion is because we haven’t spent money well historically. I’m not here to defend (chairman) Joel (Glazer). He must speak for himself.
But you have taken the time to come here and make your views known - and I respect that. We’ve blown through an enormous amount of money".
When heading off a group of protestors, who were en route to his home. They recorded his words.
Some average players and some exceptional agents have found riches beyond their wildest dreams.

Nice to take the piss out of United but Liverpool have had some shit transfers too. Balotelli and Andy Caroll and back to Robbie "I'm a Liverpool fan" Keane back whe £20 million was a lot of money!
It could be argued that the money spent on AJ and Andone were worse deals due to the size of the budget available.

Is this what some fans were complaining/kicking off about? Can't really argue with any of it – and, let's face it, there's nothing in there that we didn't already know. A HUMUNGOUS amount of money spent on players who either haven't improved or shown their value (for whatever reason).

Yeah but were were new boys in the PL transfer game then and had a lot to learn. Recent record is pretty good I would say.

The whinging seems to be:
Long term - that the Glazer's have been tight and taken all the money. They haven't .... ManC and Manure match each other on player spending at I think €1.1b in fees alone over x number of years.
Short term (this window) - Liverpool and ManC have already been signing quality, sought after players. Why did they lose out on Darwin Nunez? Impatient?

Blowing all that money on Veltman, Welbeck and Gross.

Yeah, but Pogba had some well sick haircuts, innit? Worth every penny.
Sick haircuts or drunk barber?
