Fair enough. Think a lot of people are going to be surprised with him, seen more than one saying he's as good as Vieira was at his peak already, which is miles off the mark. Still needs a lot of development
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Agree with that, he's not anywhere near what Vieira was.

He has youth on his side, so let us see what happens

I am truly grateful for the last 3 years where we have experienced the most successful period in our history. We have achieved the greatest sponsorship deals in the history of the game and sold more shirts in China than any other team in history. I am getting the China shirt sale stats tattood on my chest.

This might be facetious but it is not far off from a lot of Ja606 United fans. All made of investors, shareholders and accountants.

I remember when football was about the game!

Does anyone else think that maybe we were a little harsh on the Glazers after all?

United were always financially successful, granted, but they've taken the club's marketability to the next level. They've also backed all our managers in the transfer market, with apparently minimal interference in day to day affairs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You seem to forget they put the club in £700m worth of debt, and that affected our transfer budgets over the years. They're not bad owners but they ain't exactly great.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no evidence whatsoever to show that this had any impact on our transfers.

People need to stop saying this as it is nonsense

Not sure there were too many arguing that we didn't have the money to by an 89M player...

The argument is that this player isn't worth 89M... So not sure what the OP is on about tbh...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Memphis Bleek Is spot on.

The article on the beeb explains why he is worth it

Micky

It's quite clear, for sure

Marketability

Mudd doesn't understand why players are valued the way they are.

Pogbas fee isn't just decided on the exact level he's playing at right this second. Its decided on lots of things including

Value to the selling club
Ability
Projected ability
Marketability
Age
Sell on potential

Might be facetious!?!

Might be?!

Its an opposition fan doing his mocking impression of a United fan, ask any United fan if they'd take a few years of titles under Fergie or the last few years of little success but great sponsorship deals and everyone is taking the former.

People are happy we are getting the deals so we have more funds but this idea that we prefer a new sponsorship deal to a trophy is a tool to insult United fans rather than an actual reality.

Does Robb have a degree in stating the bleeding obvious?
