Turns out we only paid £6m for Schweinsteiger

So our actual spending this summer stands a whopping £8m.

This.

Dunno why people see this as a bad thing. Something to moan about in their empty lives, I guess...

If only this had been talked about somewhere..........

These past 24 hours have seen Sparky give TBR a run for his money in the bet wetting stakes

Bed wetting - the new "spoilt"

Though I agree 8m is impressive.

Very impressive deal. Also Bayern handled the transfer with class.

Agreed.

I don't think there is any denying its impressive.

I think the point is there was supposedly a shit load of money available, add to that all the other money we received and we shouldn't be haggling with any c*** over price just pay the money required to get the players in.

as soon as people think you have the money, they put the price up like foreign taxi drivers.

So we over paid for Schweinsteiger?!

The trick is always pretend you know where you are going, even when you don't.

Ed could use that advice with his transfer negotiations, not sure how it would work but it cant make it any worse.

We were gonna blow upwards of 30 mil on Ramos so it's clearly not about a reluctance to spend.

Nobody knows what happened with Pedro but the outcome might just prove to agents that United won't always cave in to demands.

The squad we have now puts us in a stronger bargaining position all round: we don't necessarily need players, the ones we have will attract potential signings.

Add a major trophy this year and we'll be signing Messi.

BINGO!

Once again United talk big but deliver very little. Refusing to pay a poxy £21m for a top drawer player is not the actions of a big club with a "warchest".

It's small time haggling from a bunch of penny pinching £#%&!ers. The club have been made to look like utter fools and they deserve it tbh. Can't wait to watch Van Gaal try and save face tomorrow in his presser.

Di Maria needs replacing. That's the only thing I'm £#%&!ed off with atm. Ok he was a useless @#%&! but how can you sell a player like that and not replace him with somebody better.

Yeah but he was signed before we sold Di Maria. Basically I want another winger, another season of Valencia and Young would be sickening and Mata is to slow for it. We must be after one with the mane and Pedro stories. Just hope we get somebody signed. Need pace on both wings. Another Depay like player on the right would be wonderful
