£150,000 for a man who has only this season barely reached double figures in league goals is not a "good deal". It's horrific. He's taken the club for a ride here, along with his agent, and he's given a pass because he's from Wythenshawe and a Manc. He has robbed us here. It doesn't matter if Sanchez has done it, or Pogba or De Gea. Each deal needs to be examined on an individual basis. No one in their right mind should be paying this guy €150k a week to sky shots over the crossbar or miss countless scoreable chances. He's talented and has bag loads of potential but normally people earn their contract with performances. This guy has not.

Probably has a free-kick clause in this mind boggling contract too. Knuckle-balls battering the heads of our poor disabled fans for another season. As if they didn’t have it bad enough, not only being disabled but supporting us.

Ed's looking at the shirt sales in Easter Island.

Gotta love Iker, our racist sex offender bringing the inside info.

Also it appears we offered a payment clause if he won the Champions League with us, Palace rightly shot that down.

Please stop making threads

imagine being this dedicated to such a shit troll account on a forum that nobody reads

#1 DAVID DE GEA One year ago, he was the undisputed best keeper in the league and arguably the best in the world. But a particularly poor showing at the World Cup and the seeds of doubt had been planted (despite being infallible for the past 4 or so seasons before that). By the end of the season, Allison was the public's darling and following a series of poor performances, De Gea couldn't have fallen any further from grace. With his contract situation still unresolved, and therefore a question of his commitment being raised, you do need to wonder how this will all play out. It's not like we haven't been here before. We spend all summer flirting with 'will he/won't he' and cautiously preparing ourselves of the fact he might leave. But these things always seem to cross the line. And should he sign a bumper new deal with the club, that would likely see him remain at the club for the entirety of his prime. Turning 29 in November, time has seemingly caught up with him out of nowhere. I don't think many would object to this happening either, despite his wobble at the end of last year. It wasn't that long ago where he was making mistakes over the course of an entire season. It happens. Confidence is everything, especially for a Goalkeeper. I think long-term security plays a huge role in this and it's hard to tell who's blue balling who. I would now like to take this moment to present my second instalment of traditional Japanese Haiku's to our Spanish bastards. David. Sign da ting. Your distribution is whack. We love you anyway. Wonder what haircut he'll have this season.

#8 JUAN MATA After so many years of making this thread, there's really not much more I can say. So instead, I have decided to sum up my feelings, and perhaps that which is echoed by the majority of fans out there, with a carefully crafted traditional Japanese Haiku: Mata. Mr Nice. He runs his own charity. Can't run down the wing. So nice that he apparently took a pay-cut to stay at the club

I don't pay a lot of attention to pre-season friendlies..especially when they're given a fucking ridiculous name.

Toby @ £25m is a fucking no-brainer!

Full Name - Scott Francis McTominay Date of Birth - December 8, 1996 Place of Birth - Lancaster, United Kingdom. Height - 6"4 Weight - 88 kg Position - Central Midfielder Number - 39 One of the few pleasing aspects of last season. McTominay is a monster of a man, a real physical presence in the engine room who has developed and honed his skills in the club's academy. Question marks were raised about him when he was introduced by Jose and given more game-time, perhaps in part due to his cumbersome looking style, but the big Scot possesses a decent array of passing and is incredibly composed on the ball. There isn't a whole lot flash about him but he has been effective, particularly in games when we've been under the cosh. Seemed to thrive in European fixtures. Plenty more to come no doubt and last season's exposure should have brought him on no end. Was back showing the fight and hunger during the summer with some individual training videos of him doing the round. Badly need some of this spirit in the coming year and all around the club at present.

Rio was better and younger when we bought him. If we spend thst kind of money then we are seriously incompetent when it comes to scouting players.

We've bid £70m for Maguire according to Sky. All aboard the Brexit bus lads. Good honest English lads gonna carry us to 7th.

Looks to be after absolutely crazy money for what he's returning in terms of output. I used to like the guy but Jesus Christ he's trying to take us for a ride. A Manc and all. I'd let him go rather than give him €250k a week. Fuck him, he's not worth that.

We had a good run under Fergie. Accept our mediocrity and ride it out. By the time we, the younger members, are old and bitter, that is when the resurgence will start. My only expectation is mediocrity. I can’t be disappointed.

When Liverpool parted ways with Rodgers in 2015, nobody would have guessed that Klopp would take them to 3 European finals within 4 seasons. So when we hire Roy Keane and win The CL back to back in 2022 and 2023, Palace will rue the day that they laughed at Woodward's proposal.

Fun fact: I see Jeff Daniels at the corner gas station all the time in the summers.

Oh jesus christ, have a decade long feud with one morbidly obese racist from thousands of miles away and all of a sudden everyone thinks your combative any time you don’t 100% agree with something.

Other than that, a grand signing.

No I actually think this is one of the worst deals we could make from the many linked.

Sure, 25% of the time.

True, he'd still be shite without the teenage personality
