    There's probably basically nobody who fits the bill of not being above whatever they want to pay because of midseason inflation, not some old hack and actually any good.

    How you end up with Josh King from that scenario I dunno but then I've never claimed to understand how we function.

    Always been a big fan of [checks notes] Ighalo.

    Not sure why they don't hijack the Bowen move and spin it as part of the project.

    It's going to be a six month loan deal to make up numbers. It's far from the end of days scenario it's being made out to be. Pretty good window overall.

    It's not that terrible in isolation. It's just yet more evidence of piss-poor management and planning, which is costing the club 'Alexis' money over the six months.

    I don't think Ighalo on loan is all that bad business. Granted it's worth a lol at how far Man United have fallen but Ighalo will do a decent enough job.

    When the alternative is Ł20m for Josh King (lol no we want Ł40m!) then some shitter on loan for 6 months is probably quite a good deal.

    Until he has 4 good games and they decide to buy him for a silly amount and give him a 5 year contract that is.

    I feel the Sanchez transfer has really lowered the bar at United when it comes to assessing transfers.

    As long as a signing isn't as bad as him, it's been alright.

    It's been a complete shambles of a window. We've wasted a month signing a player we wanted then ruled out in the summer. I'm not unhappy there's a forward in there but it's laughable how they had no plan after Haaland.

    It's still clueless despite the new scouting system set up.

    How old are we saying Ighalo is? I reckon it's not too far from his claimed age. Maybe 33? My Nigerian mate reckons he pushing 40

    What's the reason for the delay in appointing a proper DoF?

    Yep.

    And even if we did, it still doesn't mean he's got any power or influence.

    Mark Bosnich has just been on SSN saying Ighalo will have a similar impact as a midseason signing to that of Cantona.

    The best thing on Chelsea Twitter last year was a now mid-thirties, fat Lenny Pidgeley calling out Bosnich as a cunt.

    I was just reading an interview with him from a few years ago, and I've never known such a self pitying, know-it all, nothing-is-my-fault melt.

    i'm sorry, what does he mean when he says this?

    ‘I took the first high ball and launched a throw out to Mark Hughes. I thought, ‘Why did you take a high ball in the first 10 minutes? You've made yourself a target now.’

    I'm confused and apologize again as I'm sure it's a lot more simple than my brain is trying to work it as

    Wimbledon were a shithouse long ball side, so presumably he thought casually dealing with their first attempt would provoke them into roughing him up a bit.

    The fact that Fashanu played for England is a disgrace.

    100% recommend watching that doc Bruh. Serious shithouse team.

    John Fashanu is probably the worst bloke in the last 40 years of football, or right up there, and if the clips of him in that are recent he also seems to have gone way off the deep end as well.

    It’s from 2014. So he has probably only got worse. That reminded me how much of a tosser he is though.

    I remember him on that Bravo documentary years ago, he didn't come across well. Fash FC

    On the same topic, Big Ron Manager was tremendous.

    Cor, an extra month back in Woodward's calendar to achieve the asking price he was quoted in May. Great stuff.
