I have a question for the eds, seems to be a train of thought on here that since Jose has come to United he hasn't been backed by the club even tho we have blown millions.
I would be interested to see your thoughts on it.

{Ed002's Note - The club has spent very large sums of money since he arrived so the train of thought regarding that is wrong. The club has to draw a sensible line regarding the signing of expensive aging players, perhaps that is the support the supports think he is not getting and should be?}

I thought that would be the case ed.

Stop being so sensible you two. Everyone knows that the Board have been a disgrace and Jose hasn’t had any backing at all. Oh wait.

Very logical suggestion from the Ed on what's going on.
If this supposed list of 5 Jose targets does indeed consist of expensive, ageing players and the club are refusing to back it, then overall I have to say I agree with the club.
Jose seems to be taking us in a wrong and very costly direction, which would again require major rebuilding in the near term.

If this is the case, however, I suspect things are about to get pretty ugly I suspect and Jose has already begun kicking up a stink quite publicly. Interesting and concerning times.

The only exception to the above would be Toby Alder, who would improve our defence immediately and whose position allows him to play top level into his thirties. Wingers and forwards do not fit that category.

But Jose loves youth players and wants to give them a chance, look at McTominay.

Surely Jose wouldn't want to replace them with 29/ 30 year olds?

I mean sure, he wanted Zlatan, Sanchez and Matic and he got them. But Perisic, Willian, Kroos, Bale, Bonucci, Alderweireld are young really when you think about it. They could all go on and play for the next ten years at our club if we can keep Jose here that long.

Only reason is they don't want to pay out big money on players with no resale value. But they must've know what Jose was like when they hired him.

You keep posting that why.
Who have we sold for big money .
Most teams look to build for the future it is simply good practice .

Matic Sanchez ibra no resale value at all.
I can't think of a single player since Ronaldo who was treated like a slave and desperate to leave that we have made money on
Jose has been given bucket loads of cash has good player but the fan boys need an excuse .
It's man United not Jose United.
