I know. That's what makes it even better.

I don't think we can compete with Chelsea, Spurs and City for the league and the likes of Real, Barca, Bayern and Juve for the CL just by signing someone who can score a few more goals than we achieved this season, we need 2 more to achieve such things and that's without losing Ibrahimovic.
Yeah, he needs to step away from this forum for a while. The overreaction to losing ONE player who has had ONE good season is laughable. If we really, really wanted him, we would've went all out for him.
We can't sign them all
I sort of felt that City are going to get some great players this window and Silva fits right into that category. Pep loves good technical players and can actually use them very well. Good move for the club and the player. I would have liked to see a player in the team who can actually dribble but it seems like it wasn't to be. I hope he flops big time but I am not holding my breath.
He still plays on the wing in his national team, and has obliterated argentina.
Normally I would biggied up a Croatian player but he's good every few games, in many of them he's not that good and dare I say,he's really not United quality.
While pep and man city can sign them all.
Who?
That's just Griezmann on top of the dross we've enjoyed this season though... I think we need more options - I think we need at least 2 new attacking signings. Griezmann plus one more exciting player should hopefully raise the level of our more average Martial/Mkhitaryan attackers.
My concern here isn't Silva but the fact Monaco surely can't sell half their side.
Whoever it is we really want we need to wrap it up quickly.

They've signed 1 player
He's a Utd fan but I don't think his brother plays football...
I expect us to sign a striker but do you really think we're going to add 3 attacking players whilst our midfield and defence could do with reinforcements?
Griezmann + ST will be very costly won't it? I am of the opinion that if we buy Griezmann we will play him as a striker or maybe behind the striker along with Rashford/Martial.
What exactly do you want us to do? Sign every top player that becomes available? Have a squad of 50 world-class players on gigantic wages?
The meltdowns on here are actually inconceivable at times - the window isn't even open yet and there's posters saying we're falling behind City cause of one fecking signing they're making.
Each post below is from a different match day thread
*Drum roll*
We will lose tonight
Valencia.
you're embarrassing, maybe you should log off for a while and come back when you hit puberty. AmazingNot really. From last year's City signings I'd only take Jesus and Sane. And I don't think we had a worse window with Bailly (compare his season to the one Stones had), Pogba, even Mkhi.
Them signing Bernardo is a strong signal (as I have no doubt Pep will splash well over 100M EUR on his defence too) and I am really disappointed as I love this guy, but we'll be fine.
Perisic is very unexciting. If we sign him and Griezmann then fine. If we only sign him, then we may as well have focused on getting Martial back to form
First you said we need players with good possession. Then that we need pacy players and wingers . Then you said we actually need Walker and in that case me should move Valencia to the wing cause he supposedly obliterated Argentina. Cause wingers are like Fbs in our system . Oh and we need to buy Fabinho and cut Peps wings.
Money isn't exactly scarce at United. 4 players would be around 50m each. Couple of sensible buys means we can splash big on 2
That's not even a roast on Katie, thats a hit, an assassination attempt. Jeez
We can't sign everyone.
I admire your persistence, but at this point you're just saying nonsense. They've signed one player. Granted, a good player, but like someone else said we can't sign them all. They can't either. Did they sign Pogba? Are they going to sign Griezmann? No (City keep your dirty hands off Antoine)
Don't do it to yourself. You may aswell be banging your head against the wall.
Martial back to form would be great either way, he has the required level of United standard then. Harder task than it seems though.
Stop .... stop it's already dead.
I have always maintained, we need both players , one who can hold the ball better and one who can be direct as well against deep defenses to play direct and counter attacking.
I have only mentioned that we needed a cover for a full back and a winger with high work rate and directness. If we fail to get anyone AV is a good option to play on the wing as we really lack wide players and he does have the workrate to both attack and contribure defensively.
Nearly.Has he made you lose your mind? Talking to yourself now
I like Katie but that was cruel.
I know you're pisstaking but can you imagine the meltdown?
Sure City fans are thrilled, but where's the thrill of chase, the weeks of will he, won't he, and the inevitable drama of the last minute hitch? it all adds to it for me, especially with top signings like this.
Fair play, but personally I'm looking forward to our next 6 -8 week chase of Griezmann, will make it all the more satisfying when he does sign.

A fact lost on quite a few people here.
