Fabs were really up for it, Mano Menezes let us down with his very defensive starting 11 and terrible decision making in choosing the pk takers.
We’re in the semi finals of the Copa do Brasil, but we’re just above the relegation line in the Brasileirão..there’s still a fighting chance to lift some more silverware this season

The fukk is wrong with Phil Jones 
It seem united haven't learned from schweinsteiger/ibra/di maria/Sanchez.
Though lukaku will smash it in a pub league like Serie A.
Literally has nothing that relates to any of them except maybe di maria
Going for big name players hasn't worked out for united mate that was my point, especially someone like dybala who doesn't even fit their system like how do you even play him Up front? He’s mediocre on the wings, you don’t want him as a ‘10’ because that restricts Pogba.

Wouldn't trust Evra near chickens though
Haven't seen the clip but I've read from the same interview. He calls his wife Roy Keane when she's angry.

All of those guys were done or close to it besides Angel. Ibra got us a trophy or two at least. Angel never wanted to go to Man U. In his press conference he said they never went away. Dybala is whatever as long as he's netting 210.
I don't know wtf they are going to do with him, and thats an isolated situation.

@Kunty McPhuck You think Aston Villa are doing a Fulham, buying everyone for the sake of it and not benefiting from it 
since that's part of the reason Aston Villa got relegated in the first place

Both Fulham and now Villa had to buy. Vila released like half of the squad.
Fulham lost about 8-9 players that were key to their promotion by either going back to their parent clubs or leaving. So they had to spend. Also factor in that their transfer window started later because of the play off finals and then the WC and the window closing before everyone else's, which left Fulham about 3-4 weeks to get players in. Fulham's mistake was not getting enough proven PL players. And because of Jokanovic style of play, even in the Championship, it took then players a while to get it. So lack of time for signing to bed in, poor signings and Jokanovic failing to change his tactics you got the shyt show of last season. To sum up Fulhams season, Seri cannot play in cold weather.
. Playing in Newcastle would of killed him.Now this window for Villa, they have bought players with PL and or English football experience, but also young players to develop and some foreign buys with potential to improve. But the main thing they got is time to bed in the new signings. And now signing Heaton, which is a big big signing. Fulham signed 2 Iberian keepers
Villa have to keep Grealish fit and hope Wesley is more @Roberto Firmino and Gabby Jesus than Alfonso Alves. Brasilian strikers don't have the greatest record overall on the PL.I know of the media got their narrative OMGz they spent over 100m. But the reality is when you lose half of your squads and still have to improve the overall quality of the squad, while still replacing what you've lost, you have to spend money and big. Now people can bring up a Burnley and Bournemouth but they kept their base of core players that got them up in the first place. Their goal when they came up was to not go down, but also spend on a budget, that if they did go down straight away, they weren't crippling the club financially.
Villa is different because they are a big club and from the 2nd City of the country, while Burnley is Burnley and Bournemouth people go for stag dos. So expectations aren't as high. And Fulham is just fighting for the scraps of trying to be the 5-8th best team in London.
I bet you wish you never asked now
TL:DR who knows, the only thing, we can all agree on, the market is phucked
