Ruben Neves - Ideal Summer Signing?

Oh well, Jorge says no.

Unless we're the only club coming in for him, then i doubt he'd push for that anyway. He'd choose LFC over us right now regardless of the agent issue.

Look at how many players we got from that crook before Degea/fax and after it.

We're on the slide now lads.

We missed that window of opportunity after fergie left to turn those couple of pooryears into a blip rather than a huge decline. We £#%&!ed it up. We're now probably going to finish outside the top 4 for the 4th time in 6 years.

Now we're no longer the big draw, other clubs are far far more appealing and nobody wants to sign for a club that yo-yo's from 4th to 6th to 5th every year.

Welcome to him. Welcome to all of them.

Even by your standards pal...

It's the truth.

Given a choice between City, Liverpool or United why would you choose United? For purely footballing reasons, you wouldn't.

We're a £#%&!ing awful mess

It's more difficult than it would have been ten years ago. But we lost out on players to £#%&!y oil clubs before. Robben to Chelsea; Lucas Moura to PSG. Players still tend to follow money. City signed Aguero when they weren't worth a £#%&!.

The hope for us would be that we put a plan and structure in place this summer that Ole can sell to players. But even if it's still the same old shite we'll attract plenty of quality. We are Manchester United pal.

1) There is more satisfaction being a success at a behemoth club like United
2) The challenge is greater because of the expectations from the past
3) There is a better chance of playing week in week out

Make United Great Again

Make United Great Again

The first two are fan talk.

Neves is 22.

16 when we last won the league. 11 when we last won the champions league. A toddler when we won the treble.

Footballers don't think like fans do about their own club. They want to win things, play with good players for good managers and get paid loads.

You think they give a shit about a 'project' of pulling United out of a slump? Why would they?


City and Liverpool are a more attractive prospect right now. Sorry about that.

United are still a club capable of doing whatever they want. The potential is limitless. Players see that, plus we are still a massively glamorous club. If we put the money on the table, top players will come. See Sanchez last year. See Pogba; see Di Maria; see Grant.

We will always have an appeal, sure, but that fizzles the shitter you get.

If you're a 20 something kid with no connections with the club, particularly if they arent from this league, you're simply going to go with the best option. Which we aren't.

Sanchez: knew the league. Knew us a bit more. Old enough to have fading memories of our dominance.

Pogba Has already been here.

And we were all pretty shocked when they actually signed .

Di Maria didn't even wanna come and boy did it show

Okay, explain Grant then.

Nobody can explain Grant signing.

We should be signing NEves BEFORE he goes to Wolves. He was as good before that move as he is now.

We can't pay the wages/fees of these mongs once they're prem proven, we've allowed pub teams to become too rich.

Sign them from their euro teams like with Dalot.

Biggest fan base in the world still matters.
If Neves wants to boost his Instagram numbers, there is only one serious choice.

What if he doesn't give a shit?

Doesn't strike me as the kind of person who does.

More interested in his family and little girl pal than dancing around by the looks of things.

Top red.

Even more reason for him to sign. Dance video masterclasses from JLingz. He'll be all over it.
