Lol well, I mean I think now United look pretty dumb for not doing whatever it took for that keeper payday. He gone for free now and does he even give a shite about United now? No way you can play him after you frick him over with his future.

ETA: They look dumb for not just taking the money and running. United would have certainly come out better.

you are one of the VERY VERY few saying United came off bad in this.

it's still not official and if anyone has the leverage to extend and get the deal done it's RM, but basically EVERYONE on twitter (even non man utd fans) are praising United right now for fricking over Real Madrid.

I think if United sold him they pull an absolute robbery on Madrid.

Now if United isn't at fault and didn't do it on purpose then it isn't a big deal. But if I was DDG, I would definitely not give a shite about the club that just fricked me over when my dream transfer was almost guaranteed. Does this not also give United a bad name in future negotiations? I wouldn't want tk deal with them if they dicked someone else over like that.

I mean United also just dropped maybe £80 mil on Martial, an uncapped player, who has had one decent season in Ligue 1. Praising United for anything in the transfer window is a joke right now, especially after all the talk about over paying for Sterling.

That is a pretty big price to pay just to frick over another club.

and he may not, but maybe he should honor his contract.

or maybe he should have spoken up AT ANY POINT during this. he neglected to do so. didn't even put a transfer request in. he remained silent so he wouldn't turn the fans against him. He may very well be booed by the fans at Old Trafford and rightfully so.

the club gave him everything. bulked him up from the skinny kid he was when he came. gave him confidence when he was honestly pretty shaky in the back when he first came as well. helped turn him into one of the best keepers in the world. we don't owe him anything.

Both Real and ManU print money; this is all about management ego trips.

I'm seeing on Twitter that the deal for Martial is €50 mil up front and €30 mil in add-ons.....is that right?

If so, that is the biggest panic buy in awhile and easily over takes Sterling as the most ridiculous buy this window.

This would make sense if he wasn't already going to Real Madrid in a year.

Fitting that it took egomania to prevent Flo from doing something ridiculous during a transfer window

And this surprises you? He's just giddy that the Martial deal would make the Sterling deal look decent.

I mean idc what United spent. You guys' money isn't doing any good sitting in a bank account. Spend what you gotta to get your man, but the Sterling deal seems like a bargain now if those figures are correct.
