So.... why, when these greats join Manchester United, they suddenly, magically just turn to absolute shit overnight?
One failure? Very likely Two? Odd, but possible I guess. Three? Fucking weird... why the fuck is this happening? But for ALL of the above to fail...... it's voodoo or something.
why?Because they played the best football on the island for 25 years?

No.
It's le sign all the players meme.
How many times do I have to say this.
Connor Cooper
Kagawa's career at United was fucked before it began, because they bought RVP too.
Andrew Sanders
It's because the managers in England are shit plain and simple
Christopher Brown
No the problem is that throwing hundreds of millions of pounds on players in one summer then expecting the new arrivals to settle perfectly and form a world class team before the season starts is geared for failure, and when you do this same stupid thing for 3 seasons in a row while also changing managers you are going to fail miserably.
Leo Morales
b-but w-what about the marketing, the rice sponsors, the lots of money and the shirt sales la? AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Jayden Stewart
You're doing what Liverpool have typically done, except you're doing it with better teams/players
>Benteke is Villa's best player, let's buy him >Hmm, why isn't it working? he scored loads of goals for Villa
You need to buy players to fit a system, you can't just look at a players stats (or in Pogba's case, his 'name' or image) and throw them into a team together and expect it to work
Nicholas Lopez
But that's just what City and Chelsea did.
Real Madrid too. Barcelona even with Neymar, Suarez etc. etc.
Bayern literally buy 3 top players every year.
They all seem to find success though, none of them struggle for 4th/5th place.
If they brought Fergie back now they'd still be shit
Jose Powell
because manchester united is like taking a bunch of extensively prepared delicious meals and then putting them all into a blender thinking it'll come out tastting great
they have no clue how to build a team and establish a strategy, just buy expensive players and tell them to play

because neymar, suarez are actually good players unlike pogba and fellani. di maria didn't do badly and zlatan created the goal today.

Ian Thomas
surely experienced managers like van Gaal and Jose Mourinho are aware of this fact? I mean, you don't be a football manager for 20 years without picking up a thing or two about strategy and building teams
Caleb Diaz
When Chelsea did it, money had only just been introduced to football, it was a new tactic that couldn't fail because other clubs couldn't compete.
City actually didn't really do it. They tried to at the start with Robinho and all that shit, but it didn't work, so they started a long term project. The last big name player they signed was De Bruyne, and that's not a Pogba/Ibra tier signing. You could suggest Stones, but he's not really a "big star" he went for a big fee because he's young and English. But other than that City haven't signed any big name players this summer and they're looking fantastic. Gundogan maybe but he's been irrelevant for the past 2 seasons.
Real Madrid haven't been as successful as they should be with all the names they've brought in. Plus look how many of these players end up failing.
Neymar and Suarez have pretty much been Barca's only massive signings in recent memory aside from maybe Fabregas. Other than that they've just been signing good players that aren't super known, plus bringing players thru the academy.
Bayern's recent star players were Vidal and Gotze. One of them flopped, but they're not signing stars every year. They're signing good players.
Asher Hughes
He was the best player in the world after Messi and Ronaldo.
Justin Cooper
The problem is that back in Mourinho's prime at Chelsea simply buying the best players made you the best team in the league, think about how shit the average team was in the premier league back in 2004
Now every team has money, every team in the top 12 has quality players and good managers
Back in 2004 teams like Everton with a yearly transfer budget of £5million, with Moyes in charge, were competing for top 4.
Sebastian Hernandez
Ed Woodward is the problem.
He's the man who literally said "we can buy another Pogba every summer" like it was a good thing.
>City actually didn't really do it. They tried to at the start with Robinho and all that shit, but it didn't work, so they started a long term project.

But other than that City haven't signed any big name players this summer and they're looking fantastic. Gundogan maybe but he's been irrelevant for the past 2 seasons. oh come on
literally every player in their squad is a world class big name signing who was clearly wanted by all the top clubs in the world
aguero silva yaya sterling otamendi mangala even stones was the subject of a 40m bid by chelsea last year
in fact, most of city's signings were just united targets that city offered shit-loads more money to. the likes of aguero, silva etc. were all linked with united months before signing for city
so i don't buy that they had a planned long-term strategy
Ethan Perry
Gundogan is another one. United all over him, tried to sign him. Couldn't. He got injured and now City have took a risk by splashing huge money on an injury prone player. Something United couldn't really afford to do. They had a chance to with Vidal but passed on that because of the risk involved.
Alexander Price
>3 mins in >dabs and long passes is this supposed to prove your point?
Jacob Jackson
It's all relative.
When Everton were spending £5million net in one season and finishing 4th, the likes of United were only spending £25 million in one season and finishing 1st.
Colton Cox
Except mouyes has no clue when in possession. he needs star players to defend & counter with individual ability.
Robert Richardson
But they didn't do it all at once.
They got the money in 2008. They won the league in 2012. That's 4 years of building a team.
Last time they won the league was 2 years ago. The team has changed since then but it didn't change overnight. They've prepared themselves for this next title challenge and it took them 2 years.
For the past 3 seasons, United have tried to build a title winning team in one summer.

Yeah, that was HUGE money you retard. In relative terms he cost more than Pogba did given that Pogba is never injured, is only a 23 year old kid and had a 4 year contract.
Jacob Carter
The big name superstar statement signings have Woodward's name written all over them. He doesn't know how to run a football club.

Josiah Lee
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, former Liverpool forward Kuyt says that the 23-year-old was rather vocal during the defeat, often complaining at his teammates over their mistakes.
“All I heard during the first half against United was Pogba screaming and shouting at his own players,” Kuyt said. “And when it was half-time, he was shouting at them all even louder.
“He was screaming at them about the things which were not going right for the team. The thing about United is that they only know one way to play.
Hunter Reyes

>Schweinsteiger >Best CM in the world, treble winner and World Cup winner, captain of his country Not even close, Modric and Iniesta are miles ahead of him.
>Pogba >Best player in Italy, future Ballon dor winner, universally accepted as a world class player maybe even on a par with Messi/Ronaldo in terms of ability, and Ferguson's biggest ever mistake. Now you sound like someone who just watches youtube compilations. He's not even in the same league as the best CMs in the world.
>van Gaal >World class manager. Has won everything. Multiple CL titles, took a shit Dutch team to the World Cup semi-finals and nearly won the fucking World Cup. Has proven himself in Spain, Netherlands and Germany. His Bayern side had much better players than Utd and they didn't play that much better.
>Jose Mourinho >Greatest manager in the world, has won every league ever. You mean the guy who's almost got Chelsea relegated? kek. He's outdated. His defensive concept isn't anything special anymore and tactically his offensive concept was never good.
Why don't you watch football or read a few books about football before you come here again and proof that you have no clue about football.

Julian Myers
You can spout all the memes you like about those players. It's not going to change reality.
They were all world class, top players who should be more than capable of walking the league against the likes of Arsenal and Leicester regardless of tactics/systems/managers etc. but they all flopped/are flopping once they moved to United, despite dominating their leagues beforehand.
Lincoln Jenkins
Because they were all brought in for big money with big expectations alongside other big money players and were expected to form a partnership and gel with their new teammates (a great deal of which were new signings too) within a summer, which was obviously never going to work.
It's not a "curse", it's bad management. Simple as that.
David Cruz
Fellaini is a one season wonder like Falcao Pogba is overrated, Matuidi/Verrati/Modric/Kroos are 10 times better than Pogba (Pogba should play as an offensive midfielder instead of a regista) Rooney must go, I know he's an historical figure of the club but he's just useless Zlatan is a talented striker if you let him do his stuff, put some physical defenders pressuring on him and he's done. Mourinho defensive style is outdated in a football world constantly evoluating, defenses don't win games like they used to do in 2010 with Spain or Mourinho's runs with Chelsea/Porto in CL.
It looks strong on the paper but most of Utd players are overrated. Mata, De Gea etc are still strong but unable to carry a team of egomaniacs unable to perform as a team.
Xavier Ross
problem with man utd fans is they are arrogant enough to actually believe all this
Michael Thomas
>it's bad management So why have proven quality managers failed? Three of them.
I don't think it's a curse but you can't just say it's bad management. van Gaal, Mourinho and even Moyes to an extent have been successful managers for over two decades.
Jacob Morales
>Fellaini is a one season wonder like Falcao Where to begin with this.
1. Fellaini never even had one season of wonder. He was just always a big, tall, ariel threat who caused opposition teams absolute havoc. Something he's failed to do since joining United.
2. Falcao was the best striker in the world for a minimum of 3 consecutive seasons and before that he was a solid Higuain/Benzema tier of player for 4 years.
Luis Green
it's fun to browse their forums, the collective delusion is wonderful
Landon Howard
The problem is mourinho, he is one of the overated manager in the world. Take guardiola, ancelotti or simeone
Gabriel Morgan
one of the most*
Robert Brooks
What "memes"? Schweinsteiger wouldn't have played one game at the World Cup if Gündogan would've been fit. He hasn't been truly fit for more than two years. Falcao was a good finisher, and that's it. He's nothing special and never came close to Lewa, Suarez or Aguero. Pogba is the biggest meme player ever, his decision making on- and off the ball is horrendous. No world class player would even think of shooting that often from outside the box. His football brain is too small (at the moment).
Combine that with a manager who isn't on par with the best at the moment and there you have it.
Come on now. Van Gaal was great 15 years ago. Mourinhos time is over, he's outdated, and Moyes managed a mid-table team and was successful by letting them play mid-table football (although quite good).
Cooper Hall
Really? Because all I see on their forums is links to Bluemoon and RAWK, full of laughing emojis at your delusion.
Adam Anderson
You're absolutely clueless or just trolling.
What's funny, is that 2 months before any of these players signed for United, I can guarantee with 100% certainty you (and others) would be wanking yourselves silly over these players.
>m-muh Zlatan >m-m-muh Pogba, Fergie dun goofed!!! >Schhweinsteiger GOAT!! Better than Roy Keane ever was!!! >Falcao >>>> van Persie etc.
Then the second they sign for United and your "opinion" instantly changes.
I bet you rate Neymar now, right? We'll see how much you rate him when he transfers to United in the summer of 2017..
"h-h-he was always a meme player, carried by Suarez!!"
You're so painfully predictable.
Gabriel Long
MU isn't a football club, it's a business dedicated to sell shirts to Asians. They don't buy big names to have a great team, but to get money. It's not a surprise if they play like shit then. Even with a good manager, you're bound to drop a shitload of points with a frankenstein'd team. And they keep hiring abrasive celebrity managers (= fraud) like Van Gaal and Mourinho which doesn't help.
In short, they're doing everything to have terrible results, but they don't care as long as they make money.

And no, I wouldn't say those things about Neymar because I think people don't over- or underrate him.
You can pull the ABU card as often as you like, but it doesn't change the fact that Pogba has been overrated while he was at Juve and then during the summer he's been hyped up even more. It was crystal clear to me he's not gonna live up the expectation or even reach his Juve level. It shouldn't be a surprise that a player who's played in a freerole in a pretty good 4-man midfield plays shit as a double pivot with muh'facking Fellaini.
>Schweini Never said anything bad about him, he's just past his peak, if he could stay fit he could be a starter, even though the questions remains how fit he even can get.
>Falcao There's a reason nobody wanted him the summer United got him.
>Di Maria Didn't write anything bad about him.
And please fuck off with that ABU shit. If you can't argue properly, don't post. All I have read is "hurr durr before United bought them you thought they were good", not a single football argument.

They're ran like a business rather than a football club, a nationwide problem. The reason why it so recurrent at Manchester United is that it signing players who Adidas or EA want gives them business success without the difficulties of actually winning things.
That and their bandwagoners who called for Van Gal to be sacked are hard to tell apart from ABU's now a days, essentially meaning they have most footballing fans against them minus the 50,000 fans from Manchester.
Kevin Russell

Not sure what you're even talking about or why you quoted that post in your reply, but would Gundogan score if he was playing for United? Even if he had 5 games to do it in? Or 10 or 20?
I don't think so.
Now would Pogba have scored for City if he transfered there in the summer instead of United? I'm thinking he could have had 5 in 5 + maybe 5 assists too.
Owen Howard
Because they're shit, overrated, and should die.

Everyone replying to you nitpicking and arguing about who the best players/managers are is missing the point of the post.
Yeah, these players and managers may not be the best in the country or best in the world like OP is saying, but they were all really fucking good players or managers before being signed by Man U.
Then they all turned to shit. Why?

Josiah King
within this system and given that the transfer market is closed, blind would most likely be the best supporting player for a rooney-pogba midfield
but the system means nothing. your players dictate what system it is you play, not the other way around.

Colour me surprised.
But they genuinely are the best. If you asked Cred Forums to vote for a World 11 in the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. I can guarantee you that nearly every name in OP's post would make the 11 alongside Messi and Ronaldo at one stage or another. And if they didn't they'd be 12th-15th in the voting.

>But they genuinely are the best but they're not and weren't when they were at their old clubs (except mourinho)? they were all good parts working well in systems, not world beaters >Kagawa wasn't the best player at dortmund before utd signed him >Fellaini one purple patch >Mata that's why mourinho decided to call him a luxury player, get rid of him and win the league? >Falcao and became was permacrock when monaco shipped him to england >di Maria I can give you this one, he is actually a good player who hated LvG, the way the team played, the city etc >Schneiderlin another decent player in a well-drilled system >Herrera rumors >Schweinsteiger old and ravaged by injury prone, everyone knew the WC was his swan song >Pogba hype, he is good but not good enough to carry a team >Zlatan good with a better team in a weaker team >David Moyes see fellaini, his career has been a disaster since utd >van Gaal old and his best years were pre bosman
instead of just buying players and waiting for them to magically do good, united should build a system first and then buy the players they need
Ryder Howard
>Why Ferguson. The veterans that played with him don't accept anyone else and ruin the team relationship between new players and the manager. And probably how the society is run too, fergie handled everything himself once he left nobody knws how to do it
Connor Nelson
Maybe there is a reason why Sir Alex Ferguson got ride of Pogba in the first place after all......
Eli Nguyen
Should have gone for Benitez
Josiah Hill
United is suffering from American owners, just like Liverpool but on a much bigger scale. All that matters to the owners is revenue. United will make money whether they finish 1st, 4th or 10th. Buying "insert big names here" each season keeps them relevant. It doesn't matter if that player can perform for them. What matters is that he can sell tickets/shirts, has a big presence on social media and is well known in FIFA.
Lucas Allen

Nothing Mourinho needs more time to find a way to get rid of Pooney
Carson Watson
Kagawa >didn't play as #10, to accommodate Rooney (after Moyes arrived - Fergie knew what was up)
Mata >doesn't play as #10, to accommodate Rooney
di Maria >didn't play as #10, to accommodate Rooney
Falcao >didn't play as #9, to accommodate Rooney
Mkhitarian >doesn't play as #10, to accommodate Rooney
Pogba >Plays deeper than he should, to accommodate Rooney
RVP >forced out while Rooney stays
WHY DO GOOD PLAYS NOT SUCCEED AT UNITED?
Jaxon Peterson
more than anything, I miss >moyes
David Hernandez
What the fuck are you talking about? Chelsea won it all just a few years ago
>do the math in my head >weep
Zachary Davis
>Fellaini >Moyes >Everton ... Manchester United should we tell him??
/thread honestly
yeah, that shit was kinda messed up... although if I recall, in his biography SAF basically said they had no idea/actual plan to sign RvP and it was kind of like a joke... >put in cheeky bid for laughs >tfw Arsene Wenger calls back with a counter offer needless to say, van pussy was in the best form of his life at the time and you'd actually have to be retarded to pass up on signing him
still, was kind of aggravating watching Kagawa's career grind to a halt
Logan Nelson
>Press nicely >Score beautiful goals >Concede a shit goal after the defence or goalie shits the bed >Play like shit for the rest of the match Liverpool need to improve much more to aim for anything more than top 4 finish
Joseph Garcia
>di Maria >10
Christopher Sullivan
FUCKING PLS go
he has to play in such a general position to be deceptable to any opportunity to work some magic. Anything between Carrick and Zlatan is just catering to the few and slight strenghs he has, he isn't good at any one thing. But as soon as you take him out, so much concentrated quality is given space and opportunity to flourish
Easton Murphy
One thing was constantly present throughout all those years and that thing's name is...
...WAYNE ROONEY
Easton Martin
Can't Ferguson manage it again? He isn't much older than Wenger
Ryder Reyes
>Liverpool is improving and might win the league
They're way too inconsistent to win the league fucking hell.
David Bennett
>United moved in and stole him from under Madrid's noses.
Wait United fans are finally coming to the realization that Rppmey is a cancer?
Oh an spending 100m on a player that hardly ever contributes goals or assists is dumb.
Matuidi at least shows up with the occassional blooter.
Ethan Ortiz
Fergie used up all the good luck and now they're paying for it, remember when he used to field a shit starting eleven, play like shit and still somehow win? Those days are long gone now.
Austin Brooks
these teams you mention have a much more solid foundation to build upon though. that makes it easier to implement new players into their squads
Zachary Flores
don't be fucking dumb pogba will play much better with another good passer. He has fucking fellaini and rppney to play with not iniesta and rakitic, not marchisio and pjanic, not kroos and modric. Give him a decent midfielder and he will fuck everyone up.
Daniel Rogers
if the dabbing black luke chadwick is worth 900 gorillion pounds, how much are non meme hard working midfielders like iniesta and modric worth?
Gavin Evans
You're funny England.
But enough with the jokes.
Xavier Evans
They got to the semis
Jacob Nguyen
Because only pakis and chavs support them here
Jaxson Lewis

What section of the Formula 1 track are you from la?
Brayden Rivera
With Manuel Pellegrini. He is Chilean.
Camden Moore
>The small hamlet of United
Jack Thompson
The reason they're so shit is because they're just buying "good" players instead of buying ones that fit into their system.
City did it with Nolito, 13mil for a player that fits perfectly into their style of play vs 86mil for Pogba that's played a whole different style of football at Juve.
Austin Phillips
>using a YouTube montage to prove a player is good Wew lad
Jonathan Phillips
No, Falcao was only decent in his first year at Monaco, then get injured then go to Man U. He was already broken.
Jack Myers
then obviously united is the problem you dumb nigger
Brayden Johnson
nah, he did the right thing, retiring while being successful, not many people accomplished that
Ryder Reyes
Ozil was always the 10 then Madrid went 433 after buying Bale.
Iniesta is priceless. Best player since OG Ronaldo.
