You guys are a money-no-object club, you can absolutely afford to take the gambles and pocket the wins. United are having to budget carefully for FFP and they’ve blown a fortune on transfer fee/wages here!

United have even more money than chelsea, just chelsea sometimes actually sell players they've spunked away all their money on so they can spunk away some more money

[–] ThatWontFit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What part of that doesn’t mean giving a huge contract to an aging player is a risk? You seem to be arguing that it’s not a risk because he was signed on a free transfer.

We give Silva 1 year deals that he and Chelsea must agree to extend...

United fans and crying about money when they're just as bad, name a better combo

united just do shit business
