Spanish speakers at United.

When you let the best british (or also known as welsh) players slip to arsenal and tottenham/real madrid, this is what happens. I personally couldn't give a shit tbh, both my spanish and english is decent.

We've always had a strong spine of foreigners through our team tbh

It's a little unsavoury, but we have to go through this transition whilst the mess of the youth and scouting systems get sorted IMO. Use these wonderful South American bastards to get us back to where we need to be, then long-term we can hopefully start going back to our roots and blood youth whilst buying the best British players.

This could be an important era in our history, with Van Gaal the vital bridge between Fergie United and post-Fergie United. Some of these foriegn lads will be motivated by the challenge to put England's biggest club back to where it belongs. They may be mercenaries, but the likes of Di Maria and Falcao could have easily picked oil clubs ahead of us.

I've criticised El Tigre in the past, and I thought his move to Monaco was disgusting. However, for him to pick United when we've got no European football and are in a sorry state, says a lot. He's redeeming himself very quickly. Pleased for the lad tbf, he's finally joining a proper club.

Or we've offered him more money than anyone else

Sagey post.

Rank recruitment, shit scouting and an academy that’s lived off the same group of players for the last twenty years have put us in this position. Needs must etc.

The way things are going atm, City are more likely to bring through a group of quality youngsters than United in the coming years. The club’s a bit of a shambles.

enough of all that %@#$&!s, have we got to the bottom of Fountz's little problem yet?

No probs at my end bellers.

Other than the little observation about the swelling ranks of native spanish speakers, I'm devoid of caring.
