United spent more than half of that total on one player who has scored four league goals this season.


Bc a number 6 is totally comparable to four attacking midfielders/winger players

I'm not comparing positions. I'm comparing money spent to players bought and goals scored.

Well that's not how it works, you can't compare goals scored with out factoring in their position.

Pogba's job isn't to score racks of goals like those four. Pretty basic soccer knowledge would let anyone know that.

Scoring goals is how soccer works. Someone's tactics don't work if they aren't scored.

Pretty basic soccer knowledge, knowing that.

Yeah, you're distribution, defending and GK matter, sure. But they aren't important if you draw every match 0-0. Have to focus on what the main goal of the game is and that's scoring. Then you worry about the rest.

If you want to spend 80 mil on a No. 6 that's fine, but that's why you guys have blown dick the last several years.

Mhkiy and Ibra are the best business United have done in years. Aside from that over recent years, hard to find any.

No shite but Pogba is not a goal scorer, his job is to dictate the play from the midfield and distribute the ball.

High flying scoring teams who can't defend don't always win, ala Liverpool.

Pot meet kettle. In the last several years the clubs are a push with silverware.

At first I thought it was a troll but doubling down on a troll is a bold strategy.

yeah, except City play an entertaining style even when they get their arse kicked and have played in Europe.

United are literally one of the worst, least entertaining teams to watch in the league. (I will say it's improved this season w/ Ibra, but previously it was honestly torture to watch them play.)

Hold on didn't United play in Europe last year....

Liverpool finished 8th last year

And have played attacking high scoring football before Klopp and still sucked in defense.

You have some selective arse memory

I can't believe Bayern paid 22 mil for Neuer and he's never even scored!
