    Is the whole 'Neymar Jr' moniker just an attempt by his father to emphasise the fact that there's a Neymar Sr?

    Actually, I've just found out that if we don't include what Neymars dad pocketed, Tevez will earn more than him so technically it's true.

    This same website used to tell me I was being a "typical American" years ago because I cared about overspending on players because "who cares about transfer fees?! they haven't even come close to spending ThE RoNAlDo MoNEy! it's not your money is it?!" but now that I want the club to spend all the money they've bragged about having ("LoOk At OuR FanCy AdidaS mOnEy!") I'm still just a "typical American".

    and lollerfuckinskates at "who cares about the transfer window?" I mean half of you have made "I don't think I even care about football" posts in the past 2-3 years so you can get to fuck trying to act like wanting better players in key positions is some sort of crime. The other half of you have lamented how boring United play whilst yearning for "tHe UnItED WaY" for years.

    It's hardly as if I'm sat at home throwing things at my pets, I was just venting. You all really have to come off that high horse.

    Phonics do tell... do you think I'm sat here like grinding my teeth seething at the world? Like do you honestly think I'm kicking over trash bins in the office over it?

    This obsession you all have with projecting people's emotions onto them is weird af. I've wanted Neymar to play at United since I watched him at Santos. The chairman of my favorite football club used to gas us up talking about doing things other clubs could only dream of. I don't know why I'm not allowed to be a bit miffed that while he's off to PSG we're haggling over a couple million quid here and there for players like Ivan Perisic (who would be a great signing).

    It's madness to me that I'm not allowed to have any frustration with our transfer window especially given how boring and shit we play.

    United have spent £146 million on players so far, with millions more likely (my research for this post indicates we got 40 for Matic, lol), we're going to lol at you for crying about that figure not being three times the size.

    And they wouldn't have had to spend 146 million if Woodward would've kept his mouth shut.

    They've bought Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof, and Nemanja Matic but fuck me for hoping they actually sign a dynamic, game-changing player instead of paying over the odds for Romelu fucking Lukaku and Chelsea's scraps.

    If my parents sat around bragging about how much more money we have than everyone else, how my birthday party would be something other kids could only dream of, yes, I'd be pissed off about getting a Honda Civic.

    And hopefully Matic unlocks his full potential. You know who else would've unlocked his full potential? Fabinho. Bakayoko. I.E. a player that isn't on Chelsea's "want rid" pile. A player who we wouldn't have had to put 40m into the coffers of a direct rival for.

    Tell me more about Fabinho and Bakayoko and how you've come to the conclusion that they're the prodigal sons of DM.

    I said "or a player that we didn't have to give money to a direct rival for". Not exactly the "end all be all" list but those are two players who were apparently available that could do the same job Matic will be expected to do.

    Not sure why that's beyond the realm of understanding.

    Nevermind that Fabinho is also apparently a very serviceable full-back and it's not as if we don't need depth there lol

    The definition of spoilt would be someone's parents doing the best the can and providing what they can and the little kid being pissed off instead of being appreciative.

    Except that's not what United are doing whatsoever. I didn't ask Woodward to make such outlandish comments. I didn't ask the club to big up every Official Spork Sponsorship as if it's a new singing.

    Last I checked all that mattered was the actual football and we play some of the worst football I've ever witnessed. I'm literally a season ticket holder for an MLS team. That's pathetic.

    They're haggling over 3-5 million quid for a 29 year old winger, a position we actually need especially given Lukaku will be fucking worthless with the kind of "service" we tend to provide the front line. Pogba can't just ping 40 yard passes the entire game and hope that's going to win the League somehow.

    A spoiled child, spoiled brat, or simply a brat is a derogatory term aimed at children who exhibit behavioral problems from being overindulged by their parents. Children and teens who are perceived as spoiled may be described as "overindulged", "grandiose", "narcissistic" or "egocentric-regressed".
    Brat.

    So all the reports I've read about Conte being frustrated at Roman's keeping the purse-strings tight and basically threatening to quit the club mean nothing I suppose.

    Radars picking up something, seems to be a massive cloud of 'DEFINITELY NOT MAD, I'M ACTUALLY LAUGHING' in the vicinity.

    edit: haha and there's the lash out at Magic, to the point of tagging him, to try punch down. What a child.

    Who gives a shit what Ted Woodward says in the press? Do you reckon the chairman of Nice is sitting there reading the Daily Croissant when a poorly translated version of 'M.United ont beaucoup d'argent, dit Woodward, haw-hee-haw' appears in the odds and sods column, and he thinks 'Sacré bleu! I thought Man Utd were dirt poor! Armed with this knowledge, I will be holding out for millions more for *tenuously hyped-up player who has had one good season*!'

    It's your own obsession with consuming the absolute tripe churned out for click generation that causes you such disappointment.

    So again, it's my fault for taking the chairman of the football club at his word.

    Understood.

    Mind you, it wasn't "IN THE PRESS" it was literally on MUTV. No one asked him to say that. Don't tell your club's supporters to "WATCH THIS SPACE" and sign Nemanja fucking Matic.

    They've spent almost four-hundred million quid since he told the fans to 'watch this space'.

    And how much money do you think they've made in that time?

    Edit:
    http://ir.manutd.com/~/media/Files/M...ease-final.pdf

    For fiscal 2017, Manchester United expects:
     Revenue to be £560m to £570m.
     Adjusted EBITDA to be £185m to £195m.

    I've said Matic is lazy many a time, but fact is he started 35 games for the champion club last season. Lukaku meanwhile has scored 1 in 2 over the last five seasons, in this league, for lesser clubs, peaking at 25 goals last season (the last time a United player scored so many was van Persie five seasons ago). Why would Woodward not be justified in saying 'watch this space' before the capture of those two, rather than some 21 year old midfielder in France who you've watched maximum three times?

    So I can take your word that Matic is lazy but I can't take the word of the hundreds of people I've read rave about Fabinho and Bakayoko (some of which were even on this website).

    Trust me it's fine, there's no real debate anymore. You guys are always going to think poorly of me and I will always never understand why I constantly get such backlash for seemingly such innocuous opinions.

    It's all good. I'm not bothered. Let's move on.

    Bruh's just a bit annoyed that Qatar hasn't been "FREEDOM!'d" yet and can afford this sort of endeavour, as his supreme leader is likely munching on doritos and yelling at the telly instead of plotting the next Freedoming.

    Which is how they - unlike pretty much every other club - managed to spend a hundred and fifty million quid (and probably two-hundred this year) whilst still recording a normal-ish profit. Short of punting their long-term financial security on Neymar, I'm not sure what you expect.

    You are but you can't claim that the club has let you down by spending hundreds of millions on proven players, and not on those ones.
