Fun fact - If you doubled a penny everyday since the end of the season you’d now have £85,899,345.92… what isn’t a fun fact is that there still isn’t a signing
Have we signed anyone yet? | Yes, with stupid tax

No surprise really.
Every summer we're told signings do best when integrated in preseason. Every summer we take ages to bring anyone in.
Ronaldo has seen success. He knows what it looks like. He can see that we are asleep while everyone else is at work.
@MUFCScoop: Sources in Holland suggest that Ten Hag has been surprised by the lack of progress after the squad he inherited has already lost players like Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic and Jesse Lingard. [@MullockSMirror] #MUFC
It shouldn't come as a surprise if he's taken one look at the way we've operated over the last 10 years. Incompetence from top to bottom.
What is it since the Glazers took over?
I don't understand how the club can think this is a good summer so far and things are going to plan.... unless the plan was to haggle over every penny when all our rivals have strengthened whilst we have weakened
If the fans are upset, it is understandable the likes of Ronaldo, Bruno and co are when they look around and see the same shit

Honestly expect that if Ronaldo goes, his replacement will be our only major signing.
This is what worries me about ETH, if this is true or not. I just wonder if he knows the full extent of the crisis we're in. He obviously believes in himself as a coach but if he thinks just adding a couple of his ex players to our squad will change things then he might be hanging himself out to dry. Talking about us finishing 2nd recently, when everyone that watched United every week knew the true reality of the situation (except Ole in lot).
I feel the same. I actually see it going only one way for ETH unfortunately.
Some just get off on being a contrarian.
I wonder what is in TH coontract. If he has it in writing that Utd will buy him 4/5/6 players who he has picked and they dont deliver, could he walk away. Now that woud embarrass the Glazers and the board.
Now ETH understand how did 5 managers get sacked before him.
By the time new manager fix previous manager' problems (due to club's incompentence), he's fired and leaves his problems behind for new new manager to solve.
We have had McFred midfielder for 4 years, going for 5th for a reason. Welcome to Manchester United.

Hey...let's all just look on the positive side.
At least we still have PJ. He's a man mountain at the back for us!

I actually think it's much worse than even a scouting failure. It's probably also a tacit admission that he's so concerned with our squad and their ability to implement the demands of a coach that he feels like he needs "his players" across the entire squad to set the squad straight. Ajax in the midfield (FDJ), Ajax in defense (Timber), Ajax in attack (Antony). Considering we've seen this loser squad throw every single manager under the bus, he seems to be seeking reassurance by laser focusing on multiple ETH trained players.
Could see us trying to sign Lewandowski but don't think he will go
I am surprised that he's surprised. He always came across as someone who did his homework.
This is why he should have put his self esteem and arrogance aside to talk with rangnick.
An expansion team in the US made a signing midseason before MU
Unlike the likes of Adnan who thought of Murtough as some kind of second coming of the christ I never had faith in the guy. He was here from day 1 of this disaster and he kept being promoted in it which suggest that he had Woodward's ear and more then 1 finger in this mess. However even I didn't thought that we were going to do so badly. So I can't blame Ronaldo for being outsmarted by these charlatans
What makes you think that ETH didn’t want Rangnick? He himself said that Rangnick appointment was club's business and not his. I fear that we got rid of someone who knew how incompetent our board is and wasn't afraid to air any dirty laundry. His NDA kind of show that his departure wasn't ETH'S driven
Our new strategy
Perhaps this is the season we give our own academy players their chance? FA youth cup winners after all.
That's one of my favourite episode, so inspiring too.
I get the feeling considering the interviews him and Murtough have about maximising the potential of the current squad. That he knows there arn’t going to be 4 or 5 signings. More like 2 or 3.
5 signings would cost the club around 200 million the club even if the Glazers waved there dividends doesn’t have that amount of money.
Personaly o think Ten Hag and Murtough are in the mind set that this is a squad that finished 2nd 1 year ago and it can rebound from the awful season it’s had.
Maybe we should be looking at the Championship, surely there's some players there who might join us. Saying that a promotion push probably holds more appeal than finishing 10th with this shower.
I'd be interested to see a venn diagram of those here who think everything is going well/everything will be fine by the start of season and those people who think Boris Johnson is doing a great job and is being picked on...
Get the shutters ready.
Never mind the budget is there any top talented striker available?
Haaland has only just joined City, Mbappe has only just signed a new contract at PSG & Kane & Lewi ain't getting any younger, who does that leave?
I don't even remember him playing for us.
That's why the thread title from the last window was much better, make it easier to change it accordingly.
Plus Cavani
There is no such thing anywhere to be found in Dutch media about Ten Hag. Just more shit stirring by the Mirror.
Finally we can get ready for a thread title change 
Idiotic post
You’ll find very very little support for Boris on this site. I don’t get how you’d presumably think that they might correlate. I think that’s what you’re getting at

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
What about Osmihen/Schick/Scamacca
Even in the days we were deemed ‘well ran’ (I.e. when Ferguson was manager), most of our transfers weren’t done until July at the earliest. I guarantee you could probably fit the number of players United signed in June the past 20 years on one hand.
I get the feeling there’s a lot of plate spinning going on, on our side. If we’re really signing 5-6 players this summer then there’s probably going to be a lot of careful negotiations and not trying to show your hand to several clubs, for risk of being rinsed or not having enough money for all of them. FDJ seems to be top priority and I’m fairly confident once that’s done, everything else will go much faster.
Compared to City and Liverpool who only really need 1-2 players on their already successful teams. Haaland is the standout candidate for City as they have no striker and Nunez stands out for Liverpool as Mane wanted to leave. Neither of those two clubs had to deal with Barcelona for example. Dortmund are ultimately a selling club and so are Benfica. Both of those teams buy cheap-sell high-repeat.

Rest of transfer forum “the people don’t want to hear logic anymore”
Getting closer to July, I hope Monitoring FC get my Willy twitching soon
No news Arnold going on business trip, flight 815.
Rooster prepared.
