    Everyone know England has stupid money, thats why you are getting ripped off by the rest of Europe, they dont charge these ridiculous fees between each other, only to Englands house of cards market.

    Man Utd continue to ruin the sport with these signings.

    Shows how deluded the english league is when most of you dont even know Anthony Martial.

    Thats why English clubs will never win the CL again.

    Do you?

    He's a nineteen year old French lad who lives in Monaco, he's not exactly in my social circle.

    Does he like a pint?

    Nah I don't agree with that at all. City and Arsenal are the two teams who can have a start to the season City have just had, but will all too likely implode at some point. You must have watched them last season and even the season before when they won it? They never...NEVER walk the league.

    I bet most of your fans would rather get a 1 in 2 striker (in a **** Villa team), than this guy Martial. SS News just had a comparison up with him and Wilson...

    Wilson was on top for nearly everything, including pace (pace being the French lads main attribute apparently) - Also take into account we're talking about English football and French Football.

    If I'm being honest I think Benteke would be lethal with you guys, he would fit right in at UTD as you like to play the flanks.

    Try not to cause a combustion tonight Chrisse <ok>

    I think they are certainly motivated and they have the best squad. Don't see anyone touching them. Arsenal? Ha.

    Yeh but we've seen that all before. Even if City do win it, there's nothing in the past to suggest "they'll walk it" that's for sure. They've had starts like this before, and then suddenly Yaya goes doolally when it's a full moon or something and they turn to poo. As for Arsenal... no chance, they're like City as I said in that they'll do well for a while and then implode (probably worse than City bcos their purple patch is always too little too late). It's still between Chelsea and City tbh.

    I fully agree with you. I have no idea why United never went for Benteke. It is very bizarre to see 36m being gambled on a guy that is similar to what we have in the reserves.

    How many times have you watched Martial and our reserves? I have seen the reserves (U21s) a few times but never seen Martial. I would love a fair comparison by somebody who has seen a lot of both.

    I haven't seen much of Martial but enough of our reserves. Even after watching YouTube compilations of him, which btw can make any player look like the real deal, I'm am absolutely certain that we got mugged!

    Hmm. We need to get started immediately and I just don't see us doing it. I can't help thinking that there's something wrong internally at our club as so many players are "off" at the moment. I hope I'm wrong but just can't see past City.

    It's been four games.

    FOUR games.

    Can we all just stop conceding the title to Man City?
