And the So, You're the last bastion of positivity. I know it. There's something good that's come out of the last week yeah my friend Joe

at Joe's Diego 24 pointed out today that we've come out the window with our top

assist maker still in place and that didn't look like it was going to happen

and having signed a player that's taken us to pieces three times or perhaps even more than that

a proven Premiership player of great quality who may have the characteristics to go on to become a

United legend. I'm having to borrow someone else's positivity this week because

mine has all been focused on the kind of football doesn't really matter that

much end of the spectrum

rather than there's much good to say about the football itself.

Yes well so let's kick off with the transfer market might as well get all that out of

the way because it's it's been somewhat bizarre in the last week and

somewhat bizarre over the last of eight weeks or so I suppose but United did sign two players

you know in fact one was a Swiss Garnetian right back, who's 17 and we won't see for a few years,

and the other was Maro and Follaney for 27.5 million pounds.

Or the price that we bid three weeks ago for him and Leighton Baines.

The thing about Flaney though, the final transfer fee, some discussion about whether it was

actually 27 or whether it was 23 and the player himself paid 4 million pounds

if effectively sacrificed a 4 million pounds worth of loyalty payments from Everton

by handing in a transfer request so Everton inflated the

announced fee by including that amount on the books. Yeah Everton denied this and of course

I don't think I've seen a stock market and announcement about this but I suppose at some point it will be actually in

United's filing so the Court to be filing so we'll know for sure but no I think that's complete rubbish
