Oh dear, we have slipped from the most expensive squad ever in the history of football to the third most expensive this year :(

Manchester United's summer spending has given them the third most expensive squad in Europe, behind only neighbours Manchester City and Real Madrid.
According to the CIES Football Observatory, only Real (£428.5 million) and City (£408.1m) paid more in transfer fees to acquire their current group of players.
Chelsea would be right up there but Pogba and Stones (£100million between them) and every other centre half in Europe turned them down. They got Hector though.

And yours would have been even more but for Pedro turning you down.

Chortle chortle at meaningless stats like that.

They basically reward failure - always remember Liverpool fans banging on about how their squad was always worth so much less than ours, only to be reminded that was because they sold all their best players.

Chelsea's squad 'value' being less than ours is nothing to do with being snubbed by so many players this year. It's down to them having ditched so many expensive flops like Torres, Malouda, Ba, Benayoun and Paolo Ferreira (how the **** did he manage to stay there for nine years!!) on free transfers meaning no cash to buy replacements. Immediate 150m euro fall in the 'value' of their squad right there...

Ha in your dreams Fistian. He blew you out so live with it. We lost to Palace like you did to Swansea. Do keep up.

Fistian is a deluded gobshite. He brings greatness to this board since Matth has been twittered <ok>
 
Glad you are appreciative, deluded RS ****. No need for a meltdown just because you've splashed out £33m on a non fitting donkey <laugh>

Who's that then? I take it you're talking about Bentekkers? Great bit of business, proven goal scorer in the PL and 24 yrs old. You're just upset he didn't join the sinking ship <ok>

another Carroll. <ok> I would have been upset if we HAD signed him. Sign of mid table mediocrity <laugh>
 
No meltdown here <ok>

Just putting off going to work as I really cba. Talking to a ****ing tard is an easy way to pass time
 
You guys really need to get a room. Preferably the one next to Treble and UIR.

That way Sky and Blueman can fulfil all their deepest Fistian fantasies. Just remember to bring enough lube...

To be honest, with Christian being the taker I very much doubt lube would be needed <ok>
