We've nothing to fear then, we should be safe for the 7th we got last year.
Never mind that Chelsea have 95% wrapped up Costa and Fabregas, and that Mourinho tends to have a strong second season...
Have we signed anybody yet..?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

We've picked up a top shelf manager who happens to be out on WC for the next month. Be patient.
if you believe everything in the papers it will be a very up and down and frustrating summer. They will make up things every single day because it sells papers and gets clicks. Very small % of it is even loosely based on good information
You really don't get it do you.
Woodward had some transfers half done but it seems van Gaal overruled him.
I also had on good authority that Konoplyanka was going to be signed last week. Don't know what's wrong with that move.
With our manager at the world cup we were always going to have a poor June. For our best, I hope the Dutch crash out before the knockouts.

The manager has absolutely nothing to do with transfers other than to pick the target. Once that's done it doesn't matter if he's in England, in Brazil, or in Timbuktu... he's got nothing to do with the business. That'll be handled by Woody. So nothing should in theory stop the business from happening other than the fact that some of the identified players are in Brazil for a month. We should also be seeing some movement out of the club but its all quiet on that front too... too quiet really.
similar to my thinking.
of course where all nervous and worried after last summer and the season that followed.
but like you say we have hired a great manager(my opinion the best possible manage we could have hired this summer)
unfortunately the down side of his hiring is that his commitments to the Netherlands means it will likly delay any summer transfer activity.
personally i think thats a fair trade. the best manager going for a frustrating start to the transfer window seems a fair deal, of course we still need to get the summer right when Van Gaal is finally at carrigton.
We didn't need to though, because we could still sign plenty of players.
Have Chelsea not announced Costa yet?
Nope.
Rickie Lambert, the perfect replacement for Suarez.
If we're shitting ourselves, bollox to being scouse.

No news is good news. 
Ah you're right, everything is 100% fine and comfortable, as after all, it's only June 8th don't you know.
I'll ask you if you still feel that way come deadline day!No news is good news.
I know you're being sarcastic but what you posted is true
News update!
Woodward is currently visiting Iceland with two of our best accountants. He's haggling on the price for a multipack of frozen mini sausage rolls. He's hoping his final offer of 30 pence and some fluff he found in his jacket pocket will be enough to seal the deal.
Edit: it wasn't.

Strange I heard he was trying to Lockdown Froddo as the official candy of MU
It's a lot easier than that. In simple terms, as long as the player is prepared to join the club then just pay the price.
It happens all the time.
We needed to IMO, of course we could still sign plenty of players but the question is whether they will be good enough.
Good on paper doesn't mean he'll be great in our team. Look at Veron, Kagawa, Forlan, Berbatov.
Also, relative unknown can be spectacular. See Vidic, Evra, Ronaldo, Hernandez
We should be able to trust LVG. I'm sure he wants to win as much as we do so I'm sure he'll make the signings he need.
With Vidic, Evra and Hernandez yes they were relatively unknown but they were also cheap transfer like them are a dime a dozen. Fergie tried to find more of them like Obertan, Bebe ect.....and they were awful signings.
Apparently we signed a cheque the other day. The cheque said it was very happy Utd had signed it.
We have signed a pharmaceutical company as a sponsor if that helps!
The manager hasn't even set foot on club premises yet, has he?
Anything that can improve our performances is welcome. Legally of course.
Nor is the window open. Nor have any big side in Europe signed any players yet.
People like Lewa count don't they?
Not when they were signed in January they don't. He just can't join the club until the Summer.
Not in Europe, no. In the PL, though, it is, and has been for three weeks now.
Hence why no big moves have been made yet.
Doesn't explain the Shaw transfer though. No reason why we shouldn't have wrapped that up already.
I heard we signed another commercial deal...does that count?
Who cares if we're a success on the pitch as long as we're a success off it?
This is what happens when you have money men, not football men running the club.
It's already been explained to death, Southampton are in no rush to sell while Shaw is a level headed lad who doesn't want to rush into making big decisions for his future.
We've offered £27m, that's been as good as confirmed as has £100k a week. Both are more than generous and as a United fan even though it's not my money is rather we didn't have the piss taken out of us and go higher for the sake of it.
So it's out if our hands, we've done our bit, balls in their court.
I would have thought that the latter is wholly dependent on the former. As much as I dislike the people who own and run the club, this simple fact surely hasn't escaped them.
Never understand why a commercial deal is frowned upon. Do you want us to say no to lucrative money deals especially when we are facing a prospect of lesser revenue for other reasons.
Its not like a commercial deal is hampering our chances to sign a player, slag the transfers if you like but these two things are independent and both important.
Infact more commercial deals only help your funding.
I've no faith in Woody
He is capable of everything, maybe we will sign Lallana for 35 million and Shawcross for 25.
