FOOTBALL English Premier League 23/24 Discussion

I don't really get the vitriol towards Ineos/Jim. They are not the decision makers.

Glazers still run the show and now they've got a scapegoat who everyone is happy to go after instead.

Glazers got exactly what they wanted, an English scapegoat.

SJR/Ineos let it happen, thats the issue. If he was as big a fan as he says he was (odd considering Chelsea season ticket and attempt to buy them first), he would not have gave the Glazers a way to continue.

Quenda to United a done deal according to reports from Portugal and the Sporting youth coach.

Not sure another young kid is something I would go for before an experienced striker and 10.

Should get a discount after what Ryerson and Emre Can just did to him haha

Glazers were never going to sell and won't sell for some time.

Not with the land they own in a rejuvenation area and the new stadium in the works. They stand to make more money and the value of Manchester United will just increase.

Well Santa I think that could be us out of the title challenge mate. Kai out for the remainder of the season. Martinelli a few weeks away. A front line of Trossard, Sterling and Nwaneri. I just can't see it for the run in. Arteta is going to have to think very creatively to manage this squad. We surely now have to change formation to last out the season without killing our remaining players.

Title race was over when Arsenal didn't sign an established striker in the January window. Though I think it was probably over before then.

They desperately need a striker. I don't think Havertz is winning you a title, and they have the funds to sign one but they didn't. They bid for Watson, it got rejected and it's like they just gave up trying to sign a striker. There were several available that would have been an upgrade on Havertz.

It baffles me why they didn't go hard for one. Another winger would have been handy too.

I agree with all of that mate and believe me when I say your points are the basis for my comment. As fans we are just sitting here with everything crossed hoping against hope until it truly is hopeless (well that's how I work at least lol).

We have been crying out for attacking players the previous two windows but I do wonder. With the club "stable" I think the owners are not so quick to spend their money now. I feel like they are more about positioning and if success happens to come with that then hey! That's more money for us and the fans are happy but realistically I think the owners are happy where the club is positioned. Otherwise surely our business would have been very different. Arteta has not shied away from saying how shallow the squad is.
