Worked for England the other night
Just one more, this time it'll be different, I promise.....we've learnt out lesson buying from chelsea over the years
And we just bought another Ugarte from Chelsea
Probably a bit unfair.
Goldbridge is spitting his teeth out after gnashing so much about how this is a terrible submission. Time will tell but I'm ok with this on the surface of it. I can't say I've seen the lad play but he has a good pedigree, is young and seems to fit the profile of player we need. Probably not getting paid stupid money so financially sensible. Carrick presumably knows how to spot a CDM so maybe this has a chance of being ok. For me it's preferable to overpaying for for the two Spurs have signed - Tonali I didn't see the fit and £85m for a West Ham player who has been relegated twice?
We needed midfielders - we now look like having 2 signed for £80m which leaves space for more signings hopefully.
I'll take a look in the back, I'm sure we can sell you some more players......
Not sure about Andrey Santos, but given the INEOS recruitment department have done reasonably well so far, I'm happy to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I am not comfortable with the kind of figures being thrown around for the likes of Anderson, £130m just seems mad. I'd rather we tried to tactically sign up-and-coming players unless they are a cast-iron elite player. How many huge money signings actually work out? I'd say it's a minority... Rice for example at Arsenal was a good buy, but Anderson doesn't have that influence.

No returns on damaged goods.
You have Garnacho to try and move on. Focus on that for now.
Is he a CDM? From what little analysis I've seen he's similar to Mainoo?
Looking at Chelsea's league position last season, I'm not sure they'd know a good player if they saw one. They were desperate to sign Garnacho when everyone could see he was a moron!
Strasbourg for 50m.......
Ah yes but now we have an actual manager instead of a sous chef and a PE teacher.
Hopefully he will see what I do in Dario Essugo......
We have the Prefect as a manager and the caretaker as the owner. No dinner ladies.
I’m fine with Santos as a buy. We don’t just need starting midfield, we need the squad players too we’re that thin.
Am included to give Ineos the benefit of the doubt as their transfer business so far has been good. I do prefer young players who have shown they can cut it in the PL over expensive foreign stars that more often than not aren’t up to the physicality.
We haven't bought any of those
Goldbridge, really? The man makes his living griping about United. Of course he’s going to moan to get engagement.
It could be a very astute signing. I thought everyone here wanted a reset and not splurging huge money on players and get a decent scouting team together to pick up potential players, like Santos? He seems like he has potential, but as Shami says, he’s not getting ahead of their two star players.
Not directed at you, Calpol, but I’d like to see how Carrick gets him working before dismissing him without a minute played in a Utd shirt.

YEAH, shhh and don't let on that they've signed a bit of a dud.
Also Liam Delap is available and also has big big potential(everyone shut up)
