For this recipie you will need:
Football match (Halftime of), Celebrity Owner (Motivational speaking of), Sherry (Bottle of)
Delph has already shown that playing for Sherwood is a bigger draw than the Champions League, why would Benteke leave without even that on offer?

Are there any one club men left in the league? I suppose you have to put a minimum criteria of ten years or something.

Edit: forgot Hibbert for some reason

It is a bit bizarre that we have already signed 4 very good players and still need 2 more (3 if we are being honest about the GK position).

Huge changes to the squad.

Haven't spent too much either (individually). All the transfers have been less than what Chelsea splashed out for Cuadrado.

United needs Schneiderlin more than Arsenal needs him so not surprised tbh. Wenger will probably peel off a low-cost functional player elsewhere in Europe.

Schneiderlin has been our best player since we got promoted and if I'm being honest he deserved a move to a Champions League club. He played really well last season after initially being super pissed that he wasn't allowed to leave so I can't even hate him for going now.

Rumours are that we're after Clasie to replace him so hopefully we can get that sorted quickly.

i'm very glad that we're signing good players and that city are signing bad ones

a striker is likely necessary unless james wilson is going to be world class, but my suspicion is that van gaal will want to play 4-5-1/4-3-3 with rooney in the middle and depay and young on the wing, so we potentially need a backup rather than signing ibrahimovic for all the money

I'm skeptical that Sterling got 200k, but he was in the same position as Liverpool with respect to bargaining power. City's only real alternatives were going after Barkley or trying to pry away some of Arsenal's home grown players, and they were going to get gouged wherever they turned. They hosed themselves so bad. It's delicious.

they should unironically be going after like Ryan Mason or someone from spurs

Hasn't Wilson already gone out on loan? Unless you're talking about the future, but you'd still need a striker now, what with RvP and Hernandez (probably) leaving.

Footballers have 10-15 years to earn their entire career income you can't really use chasing money as a criticism IMO although it's nice when you get one club men like shearer or rooney

You'd have a point if, within those precious 10-15 years, they didn't earn more than most people would earn in 10-15 lifetime's of work.

There's no loan in place right now, that could change if someone else comes in, but it wouldn't entirely surprise me if he gets a more senior role this season

Depay could also potentially play through the middle, but I'm pretty sure it's not a natural position for him
