Pizy 18,897 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 58mil pounds in a year. 58 fucking million pounds... just insane!!!!!!!1Plus Mata, Ashley Young, and Luke Shaw all on at least £100k a week.Their wage bill is astronomical. Has to be second only to Real Madrid.All of that complaining for years about the spending and wages at City, PSG, and ourselves, all of the uproar from their fans and even Sir Alex himself about us paying £32m and £175k a week or whatever it is for Hazard and they now have 4 (FOUR!) players who earn at least £50k more per week than Hazard does and 2 who make nearly DOUBLE what our highest earner makes. They shattered the transfer record by £10m, they shattered the record for a teenager with £30m for a fucking LB, and they've paid the highest loan fee in history with and option to buy him for what would've been a transfer record if they hadn't just broken it. They've broken the record for most money ever spent in a single window. They've spent £200m in 2014.Yet they do it the "United way." Chelsea, City, and PSG are ruining football. United are congratulated and praised by the media when they spend all this money, yet of we tried to do it there would be calls for expulsion from the CL and huge sanctions.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well if they have money it wont hurt them one bit...Even after such crazy spending havent seen anything with United warned by FFP. They have shitload of money and it appears they will splash most of it in few seasons under this idiotic board which is fine. Imagine they had Mourinho, Simeone or someone like that running the club, the situation would be completely different...Also why is RVP suddenly done? Yes he has operation, but he had those whole career, and he was still very good in world cup. Dont think we should write him off this quickly.

nyikolajevics 2,697 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Falcao - £350k-a-week Rooney - £300k-a-week Di Maria - £250k-a-week Van Persie - £220k-a-week4 players.It's ridiculous... They have world class strikers and wingers and defenders like Jones, Smalling, Evans and Blackett... Who is the owner of Manchester United? A ten years old boy who thinks it's FIFA 14?

Nike 373 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Falcao allows for RVP to get surgery. Great Player, but should of address other needs first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Attracting stars? Hardly, here is the breakdown of his agreement or contract or whatever you want to call it - I'd certainly sacrifice CL football for this...£12m loan fee£350,000 a week wages = £18.2m a year before tax+ an agreement to sign him for an additional £51m next year to avoid FFP rules on a four year deal at the same wages which is £91m in a wages total for the five years before tax + £61m transfer fee (Inc. the loan fee)Total investment in a 29 year old striker = £152m*Sources are various, obviously what we have all read just collated into one place.Good player but a risky investment and a heck of alot of money.I'm completely fine with spending £800k this summer (net spend).Those figures are a little off.It's a £6m loan fee at £265k per week (Monaco paying the rest of the wages), and an agreement to sign him next year for £35m.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11069084/Radamel-Falcao-completes-loan-move-to-Manchester-United-in-transfer-worth-up-to-20-million-for-one-season.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special Eden 78 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 why inn hell would Monaco pay some of his wages? bullshit! Mufc pay all his wages. Real Madrid pulled out because they wouldnt pay all of his wages they say in spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid pulled out because they wouldnt pay all of his wages they say in spain.Because they were clearly desperate to get rid of him and left it to the last day with only 1 club interested, making it inevitable they'd have to compromise. United will have to pay his full wages from next season onwards though unless he takes a big pay cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Alex Ferguson in May 2012: "We invest in young players. That is what we are good at - we're not like other clubs who can spend fortunes on proven goods. We know that Manchester City are going to pay stupid money, pay silly salaries and all that. We can't do anything about it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolAs much as the 3-5-2 has been a failure for United so far, I'm curious to see if it would be any better when they get their FBs/WBs back from injury. With Valencia and Young currently in those positions, it's a recipe for disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
