Absolutely, If you can afford it within FFP then fair play to united, get the money spent.
2012 52 million (Jones, DDG, Young)
2013 63 million (kagawa, RVP, Buttner, Henrique, Zaha)
2014 68 million (Fellaini, Mata)
2015 131 million (herrera, shaw, rojo, di maria)
Plus whatever Falcao is loaned/ sold for.
Thats HUGE spending.
It is about time that we came out of the shadows so to speak, and proved just how big a club financially we really are.
It is huge spending, as we are a huge club!
For too long we have sat back and watched others buy players that were well within our grasp financially, and now we have woken up.
FFP was always going to be in our benefit, as commercially in this country, we are top dogs, (as the big new sponsorship deal proved) so as long as we stick within those guidelines, then this spending is good to see.
From a sort of neutral perspective, it makes the striker situation at United quite interesting. Rooney will always play when fit and you'd assume Falcao will now be his preferred strike partner.
RVP will now be third choice I suppose - would he really want that?
Especially in a season where United only have two competitions to concentrate on.
What odds on Wenger making a play to take him back to the Emirates on loan?
Javier Hernandez out on loan to Real Madrid. Yes i know but i have doubled checked it and the rumour is he is flying out their. He must like benches or something you think he would move to a team that he would be first choice in.
Micah Richards has landed in Florence ahead of a potential move. Micah is a good player just not given fair chance on the field this could be a good move for him.

Stoke always have the best degenerates milling about although they told Sky not to bother turning up as they won't be doing any business. Probably just to save millions from seeing that fat, greasy guy smoking a roll up with a dog on a string.
Falcao joins Man Utd on loan, Hernandez possibly going to Real Madrid on loan, some sort of double dealing deal going on there where Falcao may end up going to Real Madrid when loan is over.
Ahhh transfer deadline...wonder which poor terrified looking female Sky Sports reporter Sky will send to Stoke to report on transfer activities standing before those gremlins in the background.. I love this day.

The only female reporter around seems to be Gail Davis at Swansea
Jim White and Natalie Sawyer, live from Loftus Road, where they could have regular updates from Harry would be different

Not sure it'll be that quite simple though with all these signings.

The lady in blue seems more looney than the kids.
Hatem Ben Arfa had been linked with Birmingham, thought they didn't have 2 penny's to scrape together
Just heard that - while a manager isn't required on site it does help!
Utd front line is going to be ancient!
Rooney 29 next month
RvP 31
Falcao 28
"You don't win anything with oldies"
They cutting back on spending and its a good excuse to get some very high wages off the books
The Monaco project is in tatters since the owner got taken to the cleaners in a divorce
