Laporta was a politician bro. The way he suddenly said that it’s part of his plan, it’s simple:

1. If FDJ join us, he can put the blame on FDJ by not reduce his salary

2. If FDJ reduce the salary, he will be hero

Both way he also a winner. To keep the fans happy and get more support, for future re election as president.

If Barca played us, why need to nego nego at the first place? Can straight said “nope, FDJ is not for sale”, they already know FDJ salary gap is very important for them to register Kessie, Christensen, Alonso (?), Raphinha (?)

Remembered Messi? Remembered Emerson?
He said he will do his best to keep Messi, did he? Ended up Messi joined PSG
He said Emerson was here to stay after signing new contract, 2 weeks later, he joined Spurs
Look back 2002 when he ran for president, his main manifesto was to sign Beckham when he get elected but that time Beckham already on his way to RM

I don’t trusted things coming out from Laporta, his political skills are same level like our own politicians

The same way as we ended up not getting Fabregas from Barcelona. Same as how Dembele is still at Barca too. Yes, they need to trim their salary bills. But perhaps using another club is a good idea to deliver this. I have an inkling that our noob transfer team is being taken for a ride, and ETH may have been too damn naive to only focus on 1 name.

Then i really hope Barca go bust. Can't wait to see them sell off Pedri and Ansu Fati. Probably their last two valuable players besides FDJ...

simple answer is - yes.

FDj saga will dragged and end up we got nothing. yes, we can still sign FDJ but not in this transfer window. ETH is stubbon which is good. so yeah, all out for FDJ and if we got nothing then just rebuild with mcfred and magelof , and without cristiano.

let ETh proof himself with this $hit team. give him a chance by supporting him until he got sacked by his own fans because he forced to play OLE ball.
OLE ball really fit this $hit team. play deep and counter. rashford can be our top scorer again. trust me.

without pogba, without matic, without cristiano, without greenwood

its going to be amazing season.

another day, another no FDJ day yet... lol.... and one mini signing which cant even make ronaldo stays... lol... martinez just pay ajax what they want la... 10mil to a club like man utd is small piece of cake saje... unless we wanna use the 10mil to sign another lesser known star... ronaldo 500k a week wage shud be able to get someone else for us... but then the good scoring stikers nowadays... limited edition... maybe can try belloti... younger good ones... the market doesnt seems like alot options...

did CR7 actually make the team worse?

the team didnt even play proper football the season before he come. just manage by getting the results huff and puff style by bruno and penalties. ole is just riding some good luck in terms of results via bruno and penalties.

since he joined, he actually become the top scorer by getting less chance than maguire with the ball forward.

eth deadline for signing is by 8 july.. today 4th already keks

ETH can blame monkeys at board when everything goes shiat

Ain't even mad that CR7 wants to leave. He only has probably about 2-3 more season left in him for him to gun for personal glory, and to be fair, Man Utd is not that place for him, unless he wants to hang around as an advisor + player to the squad.

board will fire him when we turn against the team (due to bad results)...and blame him for poor performance.

Then only 5 years later when NDA expire will he come out and say the board failed (again) to get his targets. [This is already happened, with Mou, LVG, even Moyes]

In the end, if we want him to stick around we have to stay quiet like sheep, then accept whatever the crap that is being dished out to us week in week out. Top 4 celebrate like mad.

Its like getting a world class conductor and but all your musicians are 2nd rate.

With this kind of transfer, ETH is bound to fail...

Unless under ETH magic existing players suddenly transformed and become good players, if not...

You know, if total demise is what it take for Glazers to let go of Man Utd, then so be it...The only silver lining if we don't do well later...

Just disappointed. Who can mad and blame him if he leave. We don't have proper environment for him to thrive. And already wasted a season with us.

But if he remained, then really salute. Macam buffon stick to juve when relegated.

The world and United best player opened the door for the manager and other players to speak out dissatisfaction on United's lack of ambition..

None of them come out.. looks like all of them ok with how things going on.. ETH looking like just another puppet..

CR7 the only one with winning mentality.. real winners like him dont wanna stick around with losers..

well they can accuse CR of being too ambitious
but at the same time little done when United paid dividend to Glazers yearly
save fund for what? to pay more to the glazers?

The fans also the same..

When CR7 press on the field: oh he's 37 cannot press for 90min

When CR7 press the board: oh he's 37 not for rebuilding

Glazers truly lucky to get this club..

Personally, I'll not lose any sleep if Ronaldo leaving, but I hope he will not go to PL rival. Chelsea often get it wrong when it come to striker these days, Ronaldo will improve them tremendously.

There are pro and con, and I wish the best outcome for him and us. I hope he go to Bayern Munich, just to prove he's absolutely the best. I'll be happy too if he stay.

Ronaldo news really weird, he said he wanted to play UCL. He already knew that MU another going to play UCL during April and he really really want to play for UCL, he could have request to leave when EPL ended in May, why now only said want to play UCL football? Now no matter how he wants also UEFA can’t squeeze a place for us. He knew that early.

Now 3 teams interested on him:

1. Napoli - really? Serious? They can provide him UCL football but Napoli will never be Serie A contender this season, the Milans and Juve are teams to beat

2. Chelsea - UCL football but can feed him EPL cuz City by far still the best team in EPL now. Join Chelsea will just tainted his image as MU “legend”

3. Bayern - very possible considering direct replacement for Lewan if he is leaving for Barca. UCL football, one of the fav, Bundesliga guarantee winner.


If we able to sign FDJ, Martinez, Eriksen with confirmed arrival of Malacia and possible Pau if we have extra cash, this maybe, probably can make Ronaldo to stay.

Players nowadays have PR team to maintain image while having agent working in the background …

When news are broken, it’s usually a power move from the player to force the club

It’s normal these days and don’t even once fully accept the reasons given

PR moves on demonizing CR7 in full force now..
Allowing Glazers escape the spotlight of scrutiny again..
