Have City just given up having a defense and are just going for "gently caress it, try and put 5 past everyone" each game.

To be fair, when Angelino played he had a negligible affect on the defense.

Apparently United made a last day panic bid on Josh King, got quoted a price of 50m and rightly backed the gently caress off, and are now in a panic trying to get in a loan striker.

Thoroughly planned transfer strategy, ladies and gentlemen. No need to revise anything.

Might be a bit late to get a deal through but there's this Belgian striker playing for Inter who's doing well there, might be just what they need imo

The United hierarchy is literally so convoluted and complicated that one of the recent managers (Jose or Van Gaal IIRC) had to wait several weeks to get his broken desk replaced, because there were so many layers of approvals in the way.

The idea that after spending literally a month buying a player, who really wanted to come from a club that was desperate to sell, United were going to get anything else done in two days is laughable.

He's allegedly at the Taxpayer Bowl right now meeting with the West Ham board to get the final details sorted so he'll probably have signed for Man U by about 10.

Last I read Leicester didn’t have a recall clause in the loan cause why would we and that had stopped it

The latest is that United have agreed a loan fee of £4m for Odion Ighalo, but he indeed can't leave China for 2-3 weeks at least due to the travel ban.

So... I have no idea what to say or think about this.

I'm lmaoing hard at Ighalo

I thought King was desperate panic level but they sure topped it

However I'm sure the low low bargain bin price is actually a big win placing Manchester United at the top of the FFP table! Woodward has learned a lot from Kroenke and Levy about that I'm sure.

True, but that's a very very low bar. And I have to say "emergency signing to replace our striker who also has a broken back... except this guy can't leave China for weeks" is a good attempt.
