Romelu Lukaku apology thread

Scandalous how much money Utd have wasted in the last 6 years. How many genuinely positive, level raising signings have Utd made in the post Fergie years?


Far too much short-termism, panic signings of names with no coherent plan or thought process behind it.


Mata
Fellaini
Di Maria
Blind
Rojo
Shaw
Herrera
Depay
Martial
Schneiderlin
Schweinsteiger
Darmian
Pogba
Zlatan
Bailly
Mkhitaryan
Lindelöf
Lukaku
Matic
Sanchez
Fred
Dalot

Good grief, would you even have to use both thumbs to count the sure fire successes?

Jesus that’s a bad list of average isn’t it

His 'shot' on the half turn was awful but it's his general control that's so poor.

For what must be around £700 million. Colossal incompetence over an extended period.

That’s shocking. Add to that the players (other than DDG and RvP) we signed since 2009 and the decline is complete.

Let’s be honest it started even before those on that list.......




Fergie got a little bit of a tune out of them because they were mixed into a squad with players like Vidic Rio Evra VDS etc - this current lot (and modern footballers in general unless they are winning) have no £#%&!ing backbone. 15 years ago the vast majority would not have even made it as mentally they are all so weak. Just like society in general.

Maybe just maybe with all them names and numbers our coaching staff are not up to the job either?

Off topic sky sports last night had me thinking what a CM pair of Keane and Souness would have been like

"Wages?!"

Omg we actually paid him?? £#%&! off. Zlatan was undeniably a success.

The rest can £#%&! off except Diogo.

Thanks

It’s both

"Playing in Serie A is a dream, it would be really a dream.

"I hope to be able to play sooner or later, even if at the moment I am focused on the United."

Serie A would certainly suit the fat lazy @#%&!.

Bye

Come and get me plea to Udinese.......?


Bye.

would last two weeks out there

Who the £#%&! do we replace this useless @#%&! with? Not many strikers about. Jovic is off to Madrid it looks like, Piatek just signed for Milan. Icardi’s a mental bastard.

Passive aggressive thanking is a great thing.

A brick hanging from some rope?

Twitter #@&%!s getting outrageously giddy at the prospect of a swap for Icardi.

Icardi

Absolute £#%&!ing mayhem on the cards..

Anyone.

In fact, anything.

Stick a red shirt on a bag of £#%&!ing cement.
Be able to trap & control a ball better than that @#%&!.
