Januzaj has signed a 5 year contract

Never in doubt. Let's hope he continues to be great/gets even better.

Januzzaj has signed a new contract today according to the Standard

And everyone else, including Man Utd officially?

That Arsenal goal is insane.

Boruc keeping Southampton in it here.

 

[Robbo]

Wow, Southampton equalise. :|

 

[Robbo]

You manc *******s you've just let me down for £300

This definitely makes it better.

 

[Robbo]

It makes it better the fact you won't finish in the top4

Keep praying, and talking about our team, it's all you do.

He's a bit thick so probably.

Of all the things Moyes could have messed up, you wouldn't have thought set pieces would have been one of them.

 

[Robbo]

I'm worried about Moyes but I don't want to write him off just yet, easy as that may be.

Have to say though, he's not done a lot right so far...

It happened to Liverpool whats stopping it happening to u? U couldn't attract 1 top player to United this season who are league champions what happens if u finish outside the top 4 this season how many players are u going to attract? Basically it all starts with missing out on top 4, u lose money, top players dont want to come to the club and u're debts will increase by missing out on top 4.

Fellaini for £27.5 million was way to much. Fellaini was worth maximum £15 million and u paid almost double. Arsenal over paid for Ozil but he looks like he's paying them back with solid performances. Same cant really be said for Fellaini he is a good player but he's not that great player that will make the difference.

There is no guarantee United will win league titles in the future or that they will always qualify for CL. Uniteds debts are massive if u miss out on CL for 2-3 seasons it could be a disaster.

Firstly, I believe our monetary situation is improving all the time. If you have some reliable information that says otherwise, please share it. Just because we're in debt doesn't mean we're totally screwed if we did miss out on top 4, and I don't think we will anyway. Being the biggest club in the world (or level with) counts for quite a bit, if you didn't know. Business debts are managed and aren't really the same as personal debt, but many people struggle to grasp this.

Secondly, you've made a lot of worst case scenario assumptions. David Moyes, regardless of anything else, has pushed top four with Everton, an inferior side. While he's done a few things that I don't think were ideal, he can improve and take us forward. We wanted a manager to build a future for himself at our club, not a guy we can replace in 3 years or so. It's a huge task and it wasn't going to magically be business as usual after a couple of months; we're trying to build yet another dynasty, and they don't happen overnight.

Our squad is not a bad one, it needs improving, but there's no reason this cannot be done, and it's still better than most. I agree with the two posts above also.
