    City will romp that league with him up front, he's just too good. Can see them as genuine CL contenders now as well.

    I can understand that but at 100m they were royally * over. If it had been 50m I could have understood it but I feel that for the money they should have got more.

    Aye, can’t disagree with that. Crazy sums of money for any player, let alone him.

    Yup that's all they've been missing tbh. A world class big * up front that can put the ball away. 100% we'll draw them again aswel. * :56:

    Maybe he struggles with balance cause of his massive napper, he's like a pop vinyl figure.

    Man Utd signing Arnautovic and Rabiot. Rabiot is exactly the type they go for, big huffy * who has thrown the toys out of the pram at every club he's been at. Arnautovic verging on 33, never even a top level player in his prime, with disciplinary issues of his own.

    They bring it all on themselves. Joke of a club.

    Their signings make zero sense..

    They haven't got a clue what they're doing. Long may it continue..

    When Man utd have Man City next to them.

    And I get it, they don't the same level of cash wealth, nor do Liverpool and then you see the difference in approach and how they run the clubs.

    It's hilarious how bad Man Utd run it when there is no excuse

    Thats what happens when Americans who don't get football run a club. Infact if they miss out on top 4, interest rates rise they could find themselves in a very tricky situation.

    Looks like they've lost out on Sesko to Leipzig as well and why they've bid for Arnautovic :giggle1:

    A proper state that mob..

    Can't even blame it on finances either. Did they know spend about 500 mill in one window and offer player's easily half a mill a week. It's just they buy absolute pish or player's that don't suit them whatsoever..

    Now they've no bargaining tool as they don't have champions league money or anything and every * knows how desperate they are..

    Rabiot I think will be a cracking signing.

    Arnautovic I wouldn’t take here at this point.

    Would imagine these two are very far from the managers first picks.

    Aye I was looking at that yesterday to see the difference in spending between them all and they’re very close to Liverpool and Chelsea in net spend over the past 5 years.

    Those two spend their money a lot more wisely though on specific players to fit their systems whereas Man Utd just buy anyone and hope for the best.

    Thought this manager might oversee a total rebuild there but he’s not been backed anywhere near enough for me. I’d imagine Antony and Frenkie De Jong would be his preference over Arnautovic and Rabiot.

    I like Rabiot as well, used to be class at PSG and good to watch but then he was raging at playing deep in midfield, think thats why he left PSG as he felt he was an attacking midfielder even though he's kind of pish going forward and definitely better playing deeper where he can use his skill to do similar to what McGregor does for us.

    Now hes just a moody * unwilling to play in his best position unless he's came round a bit and willing to play there he'll probably not fit in at Man U either.

    He doesn't stand a chance..

    Great player on his day but think if it's going tough....he can go missing and that midfield of United is weak as *..

    Rabiot at the right club is a cracking signing, but Man Utd is the worst club on earth for a talented player with a bad attitude to go to. I just can't see that environment working for a guy like Rabiot.
