Summer Transfer Window 2021/2022

A lot has been said about our transfer policy since SAF but I have been mighty impressed with everything we have signed since Ole has took over.

If someone had said a couple of months ago we would have had Varane, Sancho and Ronaldo I wouldn't have believed them.

Obviously there are question marks about CDM but we have strengthed a lot compared to City and Chelsea. Liverpool have brought no one in of note.

We even made a profit on Daniel James and lots of academy players out on loan which could give us some money back if they are successful.
 
Do football writers have no shame?

Performances will ultimately decide things, but I don't think anyone can argue against Ronaldo's quality, even at his age. I think our team will suit him down to the ground - relying on individual brilliance for the most part.
 
Thats largely the nature of journalism these days. Quantity over quality and controversy over balanced reporting.

Its a numbers game and they know that articles like the above will generate clicks.
 
Yeah I hear this on the radio all the time. Last year Talk sport at the start of the season when City didn't start well. It was all the loss of Arteta going and he did more at City than people knew. 3 months later Arteta was out of his depth and pep was a genius.

Durham on Talksport had about 12 teams he thought would be in the top 4. I cannot stand to listen to the guy anymore. They rarely get held to account.
 
It's not just him, it's all of TalkSport. The whole idea is to get some obnoxious presenters and failed players to bait people to phone in.
 
Dan James was sold just to give Ronaldo the number 7 shirt. Ole now has to ride a bike to training because Ronaldo wanted his parking space too. The real test will come when Ronaldo tries to take Luke Shaw's seat in the canteen.
 
Talk Sport is purely to banter the listeners and people ringing in. I do find it easy listening however. Especially when they were winding up the caller about Liverpool's lack of signings.

It is nice that Ronaldo has the 7 back but remember that it was the legend of United's 7 that started it all in the first place and the reason he took it.
 
He was never going to wear anything else despite what 'journalists' claimed. It was in everyone's interest for him to wear 7. Cavani gets to wear his national number too which worked out nicely.

Asking the real questions Baz. I did think Shaw was looking solid last night so maybe that would be a good thing. Maybe Shaw just needs to get a bigger shirt.
