Not saying much, my confidence in our ever buying a midfielder had completely crashed by the end of SAF's reign.

Signing no midfielders for 7 years and then Herrera and Vidal in one window would be like being Adam Richman's stand in immediately after Ramadan.
That's a bit distasteful.
"i knew when i saw this club give a free stadium tour and match tickets to my compatriots who were trapped in the mine, I owed this club a debt and I plan to repay that debt in full when i sign for Manchester United the best clun in the world and friend of Chillian people"

And yet we won the Premiership by what was it? 11 points?
I certainly hadnt lost confidence in SAF, or in our ability to win titles. I lost confidence that we would ever buy a midfielder.
This is clearly made up.
I wouldn't, as a matter of principle.
Would rather have him and look foolish than watch him play for Chelsea are look even more foolish
Neither would I he made his bed let him lie in it. Not welcome back here ever again unless of course hes a member of the opposing team.
I agree, you can't blame everything on Pogba for leaving us. He did what he thought was best for his development.
I am still hoping we will sign hime over Vidal, if we have a choice.
It's true. He left out the end of the interview though.
He loves us, it's a done deal frankly.
Robson quotes?
I don't care where he goes, he is not worth that sort of money, we need someone who will do his fair share of defensive duties and not expect AN Other to do the heavylifting. The attitude and lack of loyalty displayed by him is exactly what we could do without right now. I've no problem with him choosing to move on, so long as he carries on down his own path, elsewhere.
Just got a "cannae take the strain."
Thought we'd signed someone!
Thought we'd signed someone!
HOLY SHIT have you lot seen this video? it seperates each part of his game up into segments. He truly is the worlds very best midfielder, I knew he was good but he excels at every single part of the game, absolutely incredible player. He is to midfield what RVP is to strikers. Some of his passing and finishing is second to none.
It seems ok to me.
You left off a few letters there?
It's not going to happen is it.
Nope 
Well if YOU say so.Nope
Let the proper amount of transfer budget decide that.Nope
So far Juve doesn't say 'no' like we did when there was interest in Januzaj.
Why hasn't he be flown in by private helicopter yet? Arturo, wheeeere areeeee youuuuu?! Offer to fly him in by a Hind gunship and let him have a play with the gadgets, too. Get it done Woody.
I don't think there's any chance of this happening. We are much more likely to get to get de Jong in and then strootman in January.
Yeah, exactly that. Think we may get Carvalho and he will be our last big summer transfer.
I think woody is slacking, or perhaps renewing with mister potato.
Anderson is back at Carrington, pal...
Don't wanna put a downer on all of this but I really don't think we'll sign another midfielder, I really hope I'm wrong and we are interested in either Vidal or Pogba but I really can't see us signing 2 midfielders for over 30 million in one season.
I really hope either our CB or other CM signing will be the truly big one.... I am getting the feeling Vidal is the marquee...bring him home Woodward!
We'll definitely sign another midfielder, the likeliest scenario is De Jong in this window and Strootman in January which would still be good.
It would be better than good really. Going from a midfield where Carrick is by far and away our best option to one where he is arguably third or fourth would be a massive improvement.
So ideally the choice of midfielder (if we get Vidal), would look something like this?
Vidal, Herrera, Carrick, Cleverley, Fletcher, Fellaini. Do we include Anderson?
Vidal, Herrera, Carrick, Cleverley, Fletcher, Fellaini. Do we include Anderson?
NO!!
Has Ando really been an option for a few years? Tbf that's probably already a little heavy given no CL this year. Imagine if we did sign Vidal we'd probably be looking at having spent c£100m on our cm in a year and we'd still only have one top draw player for that (although I'd still be very happy- plus Herrera might push on very well).
But yeah I'd imagine if we did sign Vidal Felli would be out. He doesn't want to be on the bench I'm sure and he's 4 choice at best out of those options. Take him out and I think that's fine for a domestic season, can maybe promote from reserves if need be. Next season we'd probably want to add another unless Clev has a significant turn around in his game and Fletch shows a lot more fitness.
