Well it has finally come to this, for years and years I have loyally cheered as the Red Devils overcame many opponents, I steadfastly showed my support in the 2 years in when Chelsea won the title in the mid 2000s and up until today I had rode out the previous two years of abject misery.

But today is the final straw, how much heartache can we be made to endure? How much misery are we expected to swallow with a smile as our club overspend in the transfer market once again? As our club embrarrasses us in front of the world by signing and selling players late in the period in which we are authorised to do so.

The very fabric of our club is being torn limb from limb the parasites that are the money making fat cats in Wall Street. The share price runs the clubs agenda, and I for one am not prepared for a world that is uncertain and challenging. I crave only easy success, simple dealings and players like Marco Reus signing in July.

Louis Van Gaal, Edward Woodward you have made my face red and hot with shame and now I refuse to applaud when those that work for you achieve success. Not at least until you have increased the levels of success and minimised my sense of embarrassment.

I think it's great how they're putting a brave face on it.

I will admit I never heard of Martial prior to this day. And some people may think it's too much to pay between 60-80 million euros for him, but I have to tell you that you're wrong.

Just type his name in youtube and watch few of his compilation videos (scoutnationHD did a good compilation video on him), and you'll know that he is worth every penny. He is very quick, good on the ball, his conversion rate seems pretty great from his videos, pretty good passing, he assists and he is only 19 years old.

I think he could become one of the 2-3 best players in the world in next 4 years and he probably will if he keeps playing like this and improving.

@malhussaini @NickAmes82 An alternative way is to measure against the club income. Zidane €75m / 138m RM income = 54%. Martial €80m / 518m MU inc = 15%

So that season a few years ago when Spurs was in the CL, that was a fluke right? I remember when I started following the PL (07 or so) and the likes of Everton or Aston Villa always following 5th. Just close to breaking into the top 4. Now both are midtable at best. But Spurs.

How is Spurs viewed in Europe? Has picking up the likes of Ozil and Sanchez helped their profile or legitimate status as a big club?

football365 is probably the worst football site in the world but occasionally something like this happens:

Greetings F365,

An impassioned defence of my club:

- Your homepage splash on the morning of Wednesday 2 September details how United's move for Anthony Martial is "eye watering". The fee will rise to £59.7m, no less! No mention there that the £20m-plus in add-ons will be payable for feats such as the player achieving top goal scorer or best player in the world status; surely such accolades would make the additional fees worthwhile? Yes, it's a lot of money overall, but people must realise that this is the market we're now operating in. Funny how at the same time the football world is collectively creaming themselves over City paying £49m for a player with less goals than Martial last season, £55m for a Chelsea cast off and £35m for a defender who has one top class season under his belt.

- Generally, there is a trend to admonish United for their efforts and allow our rivals to escape censure. One can only imagine the reaction if United missed out on their £40m-rated centre back target and then raided Reading on Deadline Day for a 24 year old whose loan moves tally into double digits. Worse still, imagine if United hadn't signed one solitary outfield player despite having three months and £200m in the bank to play with. Yes, Wenger is getting a bit of a hammering, but the level of hysteria if it was United...

- Daniel Storey, someone I find to be a fine journalist, was completely wrong when he claimed on Twitter that Liverpool's dealings have been better than United's. Let's look at this properly: Rodgers has failed to strengthen his porous defence, his midfield becomes more and more workmanlike, while his £30m striker's only goal to date should have been chalked off. Granted, United's window hasn't been perfect, but there are signs of real solidity in defence, we have midfield options that would walk into Liverpool's side, while we've ditched the dreadful Galactico policy in favour of investing in some of Europe's finest attacking talent, a United preserve. Sure, it may take a little more time to come to fruition, but it will be infinitely more rewarding as far as this correspondent is concerned. Sure, I would've liked Pedro, but it seems unnecessarily pissy to complain about one aborted signing when you look at our transfer window body of work as a whole.

- De Gea. Greatest transfer saga of all time? Irrespective, he's now a United player until the end of the season (although I've a sneaky suspicion that he'll extend his deal) and that's a game changer that puts United firmly in the title picture. There's been a lot of nonsense about how he's likely to be devastated by the Real deal falling through. Let's be clear for a moment - there are far worse fates than playing in goal for United, earning £60k a week and enjoying the adulation of an entire fan base. De Gea, a balanced character, will realise that and get down to the business of winning his place back; he desperately needs to apply himself if he wants to play at Euro 2016, which will only benefit us.

Cheers,
Bobby.
