Where did I say we should buy no one?Yes and we should not buy anyone because of that. Its funny how you are quick to bash ole but start defending glazers and their puppets quickly. No wonder why glazer apologists are the worst.

And how is it relevant that we have spent huge money when we are having a horrific transfer window. By just saying we are just top spenders in last 7 years you are just justifying glazers and their puppets. No one is asking them to spend insane amount and it's not just about the money but the way we do our transfer business. We bought Bruno at the end of january when any ambitious club would not have waited to be behind 15 points off top 4 to buy a player. We have been doing that for past 7 years. We just react and spend money without any planning. We have been after a lb for 6 weeks and it's not like we are signing a prime roberto carlos. Either get it done or move on. We are the desperate side not dortmund or porto so this whole planning of let us wait and save 3million looks stupid from football point of view.Where did I say we should buy no one?
I don't think people are solely frustrate with the board for lack of spending but the way we do our transfer business too. The way we do our transfer business it looks amateurish. Who is stopping Glazers from hiring DoF, who is stopping them from spending smartly and completing majority of signing before the seasons starts. It's not one off, it's been ongoing for last 7 years since Woodward is on board.Defending our spending doesn't make us a glazer apologist.
I think we've spent a truck load of cash, and I also think the Glazers have fecked up. They could have got a DoF and spent half with better results.
But holding firm on this deal when the player wants out, the club can't afford to keep him, and he's in his final year of contract? That makes complete sense to me. It's bone headed to just stump up 18m asking price off the bat.

There's a common theme of us during transfer negotiations, with Sancho, Reguillion and now Telles, that apparently we dont want to pay too much and avoid getting "fleeced".
What will happen as a result? We will end up not signing anyone. And our supporters are defending this thinking "wow we are taking such a great business stand", not realizing this is just a spin trying to justify not spending any money on the club and the squad. Wake the feck up.
Honestly what is so ameturish about our stance on Telles? You clearly take issue with it on the thread.I don't think people are solely frustrate with the board for lack of spending but the way we do our transfer business too.

And the way people defend glazers but they have spent huge money on players, well they have also taken millions from the club. How on the moral ground are we defending them is beyond me. It's like I steal $1000 from you and give $100 back but hey ho I am a great guy.
Nonsense is what you sprout for Ole but are defending Glazers and the way we do our transfers. You look Manchester United as a business but for fans it is a football club which is not being run properly. I bet guys like you will want managers sacked every year to defend glazers.Because the post you made earlier is a complete nonsense which I replied to. Based on our recent history, we will definitely sign more players until the window closes.
You are looking at things purely from a supporter point of view which is basically "We should get a player X no matter the cost. Just pay whatever the seller asks and get done with it". We kind of tried that approach before and it backfired spectacularly which resulted in us having a squad filled with massively overpriced and mostly mediocre players. Do you think it's the way to go and is sustainable in the long run? Telles is not worth what Porto asks, Real Madrid asked for buy back clauses in Reguillon deal which we rightly rejected and Sancho is probably not worth £108m either. Stop being so reactive and use your head for a bit.
Feck Glazers but I think you are completely blinded by the hate towards them and can't see clear.Nonsense is what you sprout for Ole but are defending Glazers and the way we do our transfers.

Tell me, are you happy with the way we have conducted our transfer this season, irrespective if what happens in the remaining 5 days or whatsoever is left.Honestly what is so ameturish about our stance on Telles? You clearly take issue with it on the thread.
SO you are telling we are being run properly and have done good transfer business this summer?Feck Glazers but I think you are completely blinded by the hate towards them and can't see clear.
Never said that. We are not being run properly and we have not done good transfer business (so far). But I find the bashing of the club because we refuse to pay more for certain players than they are worth as a bit stupid.SO you are telling we are being run properly and have done good transfer business this summer?
Its also a pattern that we spend more when we are out of the top 4.Yea let's just ignore the fact that we are always amongst the top spenders in the world for the past 7 years or so.
Sancho is actually use to playing in a 3-4-1-4 / 3-5-2 he plays upfront in that system for Dortmund.Pay 18mil for someone you could get to agree to join for free in 3 months? When we have two able players in the position already? Could just try again in January and probably get him for buttons. Rather get a CB a DM and a RW because this signing just feels like an opportunistic one and not something we actually planned.
If he comes brilliant, be intrigued to see how often Maguire is going to get absolutely rinsed or if Ole is going to be able to turn Pogba and Bruno in to possesion based players Or if he’ll curb the attacking instincts of him a little to help protect Maguire.
Heck maybe we’ll go 343 or most likely 352 but if that happened Sancho?
One of DiMarzio's lads
Yea definitely
Business must be good to have hired underlings.
faporzio. Fitting name.
So you're happy for clubs to fleece us so long as it fixes some hypothetical immediate issue?
How is £15mil fleecing us. He would be a £40mil LB with more years on his contract!
It would seems other premier League clubs would tend to agree with me as they haven't had such problems getting business done.
Yeah. Just this January Christian Eriksen moved to Inter for 25 million euros, despite also being in the last 6 months of his contract. If United want Telles now, they'll have to pay. If not, they can wait six months and battle it out with the rest of the clubs looking to sign him on a free.
God we do move at a snail's pace with these transfers
25m euros was also a fraction of what he was worthYeah. Just this January Christian Eriksen moved to Inter for 25 million euros, despite also being in the last 6 months of his contract.
