Wow, this is dragging on - it's embarrassing, like Ed is looking down the back of the sofa for coins. Either want the player and should commit, or we walk away. our club is bigger than this.

Hence why being British is important and the family love the club more importantly.
Pogba wasn't born here and by his own admission was never a boyhood fan until he moved here at 16.
Every time I read an article stating "signing complete in 48 hours" I know that really means months now I'm seasoned into this transfer thing with Ed at the wheel.
So any particular reason AWB only got 1 showing for the U23s when Kenny is perhaps the worst RB defensively i've seen for quite a while?
Boothroyd said he was distracted by negotiating his transfer. I get the impression that he wasn't happy it was going on whilst we were at the tournament.
Dropping him was a mistake, in my opinion.
He made a mistake in the first game that cost a goal, and the manager said AWB has been distracted by the speculation.
Difficult to know but growing up in South London most of his mates probably supported Arsenal considering they were the team back then.
Whether that was just to fit in or not... Anyway he's less likely to hope of to Barca/Madrid/Juve if they come calling is what my point is.
Transfer negotiations were sighted for a reason. He wasn't helped by the fact he was a big reason they lost the first game too.
Either way he should have played. I still can't get over the fact that there isn't a better manager than Bothroyd to nurture England's young players.
The time this has taken, he could of walked from London to Manchester.
Well if all our 50+ scouts can suggest is Fred for £52m, one can hardly blame the club giving Mr Cardiff a veto!
I still can't get over the feeling that England never get to use their best players. Remember one pundit some years back saying that the best teams in the World play their best players, and they get used to winning even at international level. England always leave out their best playerm because clubfootball is considered much more important than the international side.
Caf gets outraged when they hear we have a £100m budget
Caf gets outraged at the thought of overpaying for players
Caf gets outraged when Ed won't just pay up for said players and stop negotiating.

I don't understand this logic of a player giving his all for our club if he's British or cares for United. Look at City players majority of them wouldn't even have heard about them few years ago but now you see them running them self into the ground nearly every game, Same can be said for pool players under klopp. Not sure if both these teams have many British players.
IMO its more about creating High standards (through manager, board etc) and not tolerating anything else. Our players have been able to continue to put in crap performances year after year without being held accountable, they've been awarded pay rises for it (
) and this will continue until players know they'll be thrown out if they don't perform consistently, which city have done ruthlessly.

If our 'professionals' had to work on reputation then most of our scouts would be sacked and Ole would still be at Molde winning titles at the mickey mouse league. However I do agree with your point to a certain extent and is exactly what I said in the previous post.
Ultimately we've got two course of actions here. We either change the system radically by bringing in a top DOF, top scouts and possibly a top manager as well or else we trust the system we've got in place. No manager can work in isolation and if he doesn't trust his staff then he's doomed for failure
A very young Wan-Bissaka, born to wear our shirt!
Its inevitable that such a photo would surface. I am surprised that hasn't been a photo Jesus of Nazerath wearing a United kit surfacing by now. Green & Gold kit of course.
Aidy Boothroyd needs players to throw under his overturned bus.
Xisimon tweet says done deal just now.
Could the Under-21s explain the hold-up?
The oracle has spoken! Done Dealio
Knew it was purely the U21's holding it up. People need to be patient.
A point that has flown over so many heads.
I'm not certain going for the best of British is right, but you can't blame the people at the club for wanting to go back to this tried and trusted method.
Done dealio, see twatter thread.
Happy with this. An absolute priority position to sort out. And it will be for years now hopefully. Plenty of time to coach or bring out some attacking ability.
I also wonder, if the club wrongly assumed that young British players from West Ham, Leicester, Palace etc would be cheaper alternatives..?
yay!!!! Finally a right back who's an actual right back, who's decent at his job.
If we sign a RW, i'm happy.
I will probably get told off for this since many are trusting this Simon guy. Who is he? and is he reliable?

Think you've highlighted it perfectly. Klopp / Pep can bring in world class players and keep them motivated. Solskjaer has achieved nothing but failure managerially, so the only calibre of players he will be able to motivate is the younger generation of British players.
Too many people place emphasis on the invidiuals within a team but it's 50 / 50 the manager needs the pedigree to motivate the players. That's why the argument of saying that Madrid won three champions leagues because of their the starting 11 and not the influence of Zidane is mind boggling.
I think this is a really good signing.
Only advantage of putting that useless shithouse Boothroyd in charge of England under 21s is that it prevented this from dragging on too long.

Who's transfer thread we camping in now then?
Looks like we went too early on this
Simon Says this is done
There's no particular rush but I thinks Ed's into kamasutra.
Will be interesting to see all the leaks about how hard Palace have shafted us on this deal
100 million pounds and £450,000.00 pw and the press will be happy!
Simon saying it's done is the next best thing to an official confirmation from United.
I'm very happy. We needed a new right back and he was the outstanding candidate after his stellar season. Incredible defensively and his pace and dribbling are underrated attacking weapons. Won both Player of the Year and Player's player of the Year for Palace last season and will surely go straight into the team ahead of Young.
Just need to pair him with a quality right winger and that flank will be in top shape.

What does being British have to do with it? Look at Evra, Vidic, Cantona, Park, etc
Well if we are waiting to sell before we buy. There will be no deals done until the final day of transfer window.
