Utd lost Ronaldo.
Barca lost Neymar.

Money talks.

I also think the RS model is to buy good, develop and sell high.

As i’ve said, we want our best players to stay but that only comes with success.

It's chicken and the egg (no pun intended) Remember when everyone wanted to come to us, Lineker, Snodin etc..and United they couldn't compete, they were also rans. What comes first. Statement of intent. We haven't had it since the late 80's. United stepped up to the plate in the 90's.

The only way you get success is through ambition and the fortitude to succeed. Do you see that in our current board? Or for the last thirty years? And now to persevere with Sam Allardyce as our manager, if that is the intent. That in itself, tells you everything you need to know.

It's not a no, but it's certainly not a wow from me.

..it is, Matey. Key to it all is the appointment of truly effective Manager and DoF. Building a successful side is very difficult but that is the objective.

Get ready for a stack more PL dross incoming if Sam/Walsh are still here this summer.

Buying a defender from the club which has conceded the most goals this season does not help us.

You say that but Sam has only brought in Tosun and Walcott and they haven't been bad at all.

If the tubby one is still in charge we will be buying work horses who will ensure we don't get relegated. Fat Sam has standards to meet.

You mean like Tosun + Walcott who have invigorated our attack?

Are you sure HE bought those two? Tosun is handy and Walcott was a no brainer. Mangala is more typical of Sam.

How about being able to play a forward pass?

And you think the former England and Man Utd Captain can’t play a forward pass
What about Siggy , Walcott , Morgan proved last season and in his last couple of games that he can.
It’s not the players it’s the manager and system they are being asked to play.

Well since I nor you are part of the management of the club we can't say for absolute certainty, but I'm not going to use speculation to discredit him. The performances have been poor but the signings are good. If we sign more like those two that would only be a positive.
