The market overvalues strikers and undervalues defensive midfielders it seems. Man U could justify spending 65m for Di Maria and a hefty loan for Falcao. They should have offered 65m for Vidal and offered 30-40m for Benatia. That would have made more sense.

I tell you, If ManU fail to get a top 4 spot this year, they are going to be in some sh*t I reckon. They may need to sell Mata at some point.
They earn around €170 per season from only Chevrolet and Adidas next year. Not to mention other sponsorship deal. So they're going to be fine doing this kind of transfer for at least the next 4 years even without achieving result.

I get that. However, I can see Man City and Chelsea dominating for the next 3-5 years. It makes you realize what a legend Alex Ferguson was. Despite that income United do have very large debts. Just sayin.

Man City and PSG were nobody clubs not that long ago. Chelsea were not that big up until around 10 years ago. Things can change pretty quickly if you are not careful.

lol Man United what a pathetic and panicky mercato they've had.
Big time :lol:

And I love how all their retard fans claim that the only reason they didn't sign Vidal was because of concerns about his knee…nek min nut

Sign a player who is just coming off an ACL injury. :lol: pathetic fucks, can't wait for them to miss out on the top 4, its gonna be epic.

PL fans specialise in delusions of grandeur, even when they are shit. Money talks, but you can only sign players who want to leave with it.

Thats the only reason they can sign these players. I love that all signs indicate that either

a) Vidal rejected United

b) We told them to fuck off, or at least offer a much higher amount

I wouldnt call Di Maria, Rojo and Falcao a pathetic mercato..

if anyone had a pathetic mercato it was us. We need a world class striker and CB and we signed neither. Morata has a lot of potential so we'll see

Falcao agents insist he's been bought €65m for 4 years. Loan deal first for FFP reasons?

So what you are saying is that we failed because we didn't address issues, yet United's mercato was better because they spent €150m on famous players whilst not addressing issues.

I'd actually call spending 200M on players and not fixing most of the issues in the team is pretty pathetic TBH.

You're kidding yourself if you think Rojo and Blind will fill in the huge gaps they have in defence and midfield.

lol sometimes I do enjoy the Italian shitty mercato's though. I mean you hear all of this 'falcao to United - 65m' and bunch of other mega deal going on and then you hear stuff like this: 'AC Milan have offered €4m + Christian Zaccardo for Jonathan Biabiany' :lol: :lol:

I didnt mention Blind, I dont think he'll make much of a difference, and yes they did spend a lot but Di Maria and Falcao are world class, the players we signed either aren't or just have the potential to become world class, but thats still a gamble.

Its deadline day so they still have time to sign more players, if they don't sign any CB's then i'll agree they're pretty stupid cos their defence is abysmal atm..but theres still time.
