What about Montero? Really rate him and doubt we would really have to break the bank to bring him in.

If we have any business left in us, will it be deadline day stuff or straight after CL qualification
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
No thanks, We have Shaw and plus I don't think he can do a job upfront.
He doesnt play because he's bang average!
My sources tell me that we're looking at buying a footballer in the next 18 months but at this point it may or may not happen.
Utterly ridiculous.
You want more proof? Fine.
The footballer has, at most, two legs.
When we sign this next player I expect a massive apology from you.
Bizarre prediction. Don't expect an apology.
Well, we've started shipping players out: Evans apparently going to WBA for £6m + potential add-ons, so let's see if there's any incoming.
What I've taken from the last two weeks is either we're finished and signing no one or there is a target that none of us has a clue about.
Head says it's option 1, but are we really going to go through the transfer window with a zero net spend ?

Is that such a bad thing? We've spent an insane amount of money over the past couple of years, but we also cleared out A LOT of deadwood. There is no question that both of those things were necessary and beneficial to the club, and if we can balance the books, well, all the better, no? I mean, with all due respect, you sound like you want us to spend for the sake of spending. That doesn't sound like a well-run club to me, something I would think many fans would want Manchester United to be.
Possibly and pay off a chunk of debt before rates rise... It wouldn't be a bad idea if the right player is not available
This squad can at maximum compete for 3rd place
Reus would be a great option to have, I`m sure he wouldn't cost so much, plus he seems in great form
I hope we make a really big signing. With Evans sold our net spend is possibly 0.
And he can play anywhere along the 3 and probably even 9 if we desperately needed him too.
He'd cost absolutely nothing this transfer window because Dortmund won't let him go, period.
How can we be letting Hernandez leave without having a backup option.
maybe there is some late arrivals then? mmmmm
Even van Gaal isn't that insane. If he leaves then we'll definitely bring somebody in.
what worries me is that he is that insane, he will use Felliani, Wilson and Januzaj as backups. I don't see who is available that we could bring in.
Gotta feeling we'll sign a striker, but as a back up to Rooney. Pretty sure Hernandez will be used in a swap deal. Someone like Lukaku maybe.
He was subbed against Spurs yesterday.

Well, only 59 hours and counting!
Just hope we don't sign someone for the sake of it who ain't good enough.
Wouldn't worry too much if hernandez does leave it just confirms we will be bringing in a new striker, there's no way an experianced coach like LVG will go into a season with rooney and the very raw wilson as our only recognised strikers,
The club will have something up their sleeve.
Berahino perhaps, don't see anyone else available. Unless Ronaldo isn't happy at Real after going two league games without a goal, surely his longest drought.
Canr see Ronaldo coming back here tbh yes it'll be someone like berahino or maybe kane. I'd be suprised if we get someone from a foreign club at this late stage.
With both Blackett and Evans leaving, either on loan or permanently, we must have a deal for a centre half agreed. I wonder if Stones is heading our way in a 'up yours with regards to pedro' smack in the face for Chelsea.
The papers reporting the bid from Madrid for De Gea are saying we're hoping to get Bale to come the other way. Which is doomed, obviously. I just can't shake the suspicion that Woody is running round after big name players we haven't a hope of signing, because he's desperate to prove he's a big hitter in the market. Which is a crappy way to do our business.
We are not signing anyone. The only player LVG now wants is the jewel in his crown and Bale et al aren't going anywhere. We'll have to look to develop our own in depay.
So not Lukaku?
I'm sure @carvajal said in earlier posts that reus had bought/was looking at property in Madrid .
Maybe bale could be heading to United .
Just clutching at straws really but I do agree that we have a decent squad now and only need a couple of marquee signings to mount a challenge for silverware .

I don't get this.
Woodward does not CHOOSE the transfer targets. It's up to Van Gaal.
Van Gaal has said he would love players like Muller, Bale and Neymar. I'm sure he's TOLD Woodward to ask their clubs if they would sell. I highly doubt Woodward has gone behind Van Gaals back and started making enquires for big names.
Van Gaal has said a few times now that we lack the world class player. So no doubt he's told Woodward to see if he can get one.
Does anyone really think Van Gaal is going to accept Woodward making signings for him?
You have to ask what the hell are we doing if DDG and Chica depart, as things stand we have a net spend of virtually zero, and have taken about £500 k off the wage bll (after taking the signings wages off), add these two potential departures in and we'll be in profit of £35-£40 million.
The squad is threadbare at best in places, and there is just no time left to anything of significance imo, I just find the whole thing baffling.

Well he's certainly not going to turn down the likes of Neyman or Bale. I just hope we've realistic alternatives lined up if Van Gaal thinks our squad is sufficiently flawed that we need one of those megastars to win trophies.
We need another attacker. It's not "threadbare in places" at all.
That would be a great signing for all parties involved. Don't think it will happen though.
Not sure about that logic.
The train of thought seems to be more along the lines of - happy with what we have got and not going to bring in a player unless they are an upgrade on what we have.
An upgrade on Hernandez shouldn't be too hard to find tbf.
