Could we see a deadline day panic buy again? If so, who?

The trouble is, our cm is so poor even a panic buy would do*.

*Before anyone shoves an afro down my throat, you'd have to assume an LvG panic buy would be more technically able and an all round better player.
 
A clutch of failures and rash of indecision meaning we sign no one.

Quickly followed by big talk about how we were always happy with the squad and excuse bingo from the following

  1. we were looking to cut back the squad with no Europe
  2. We have the money but the right players weren't available
  3. Woodward was talking generally rather than imminently with his "watch this space" talk
We don't need as a big a squad, but if it's the wrong sqaud then we might not have Europe next season, or only the dreaded Europa League. We have to get it right.
 
Can see us overpaying for Blind or something. I don't want Blind because I don't think he is good enough and his presence will be used as an excuse again not to sign a topclass midfielder.

V good post did ok against Spain in WC but average in many other games and extremely slow - no way is he cover for a
Central defender.
 
If Woody is running around on transfer deadline day trying to buy a player then he has not learned a thing since last year, or he really is just doing it for the added drama.
 
We are destined to sign Ron Vlaar for 25m on transfer dealine day

Ugh. If that happened, we'd have to be in the market for a new CEO cause that means Woody is as useless as one-legged man in a kicking contest. I'd rather we not panic spend & have LVG blood the youngsters until January. TBH, I'd rather we panic buy some of Levy's castoffs than get Vlaar.
 
How about Adriano from Barcelona. Decent full back who is capable of playing both left and right wing-back. Certainly better than having Valencia and Young as our back-up wing backs.
 
I don't think it'll be deadline day again. I think Rojo is close to, if not a (potential) panic purchase.
 
hopefully it is not Blind. That would be even worse signing than Fellaini. I am okay with that Jong anyway that extra centreback is must buy. Hope Rojo signings is on his way
 
It'll be great if we can pull off an Ozil-like signing. Get other teams to really fear Man Utd.

Even if he's not filling a role that really needs to be filled, Di Maria would be excellent.
 
With LVG I doubt we'll be panic buying. Unless we lose a defender and a midfielder, I think we ll get our business done before the deadline day.
 
Blind has panic-buy written all over his face.
 
Could see Blind and Rojo coming in late. I think LVG will do everything to try to force the club to make these signings earlier.

There is a lot of press about the fact we've been slow in the market! So it can't be avoided.
 
Not with Van Gaal. If we do make a deadline day signing it'll be someone cheap.
 
We almost certainly will.

Not sure who, but you can be sure we'll pay well over the odds because clubs will know we are desperate.
 
We'll make another stupid deadline-day bid for Khedira. This time it will get accepted.
