Antony is a flop for the amount of money

[–] FloppedYaYa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Never seen this opinion before

I'm baffled United willingly paid the money Ajax were paying.

I absolutely refuse to believe that there wasn't some other left-footed winger they could have gotten for a fraction of the price.

Diaby was a little over half the price.

I still don't get the Antony buy.

I count about...3 useful players on that list, one of them being Casemiro who's aging and with years of long intensive campaigns with Madrid on his back, which puts in to question how long he'll remain useful for

I've joked about him coming back on loan but Onana probably turns out good for them in the end. He started the same way with us, a bit shaky but as he became more familiar with the team he was great.

I don't think he'll be as good as he was at Inter because our team is far better and the defence is far more capable of having the ball played to them from Onana.

Even yesterday had some poor errors that he got away with. The third goal he just parries out to a striker, he somehow failed to grab a ball that he dived down for and then there was the one he pushed back to Haaland but then redeemed himself.

Antony not living up to the hype?

Suprise Pikachu face

I think the Glazers are obviously a massive part of why United are as poor as they right now, but my word, that is a shocking list of signings.

This list seems like a pretty damning indictment of the club's scouting department, their negotiations team and their manager, because almost none of these have done anything worth talking about.

Feel like ten Hag can't keep being pushed to the side for a little bitch about the Glazers for too long. He's had money to spend and he's personally hand-picked like 95% of this list, if not more.

Pepe had 48 G/A in 112 games for Arsenal.

If he’s a flop, what do we call the rest the United squad?

Yeah, he quietly dropped a 21ga season in 20/21 lol

[–] Ben_boh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pepe was shite. Use your eyes not stats.

[–] Liverpool7-0Utd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

😂😂 no wonder Fernandes moans like a little bitch.

[–] DC600A@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A list of major buys under ETH who turned out to be screw-ups will not read that much differently.

[–] Ben_boh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Moyes made 2 (two) signings: Juan Mata (success), Fellani (mixed success).
