We really haven't been lately. Took us ages to get Baba when we'd known for weeks and weeks that we needed a new LB. We've also bid 3 times now for Stones and haven't got him.
Maybe he turned the match off when we went 1-0 down and thought, "feck this shit."
Maybe he pussied out when he realised we could draw Barca in the group stages
Exactly . Plenty of games to bed him in.Pedroff.

That's why LVG not wanting him at all could possibly make sense. If we were unwilling to pay a high price for him, we were possibly reluctant about actually getting him at all, and were never that keen on him.
I was convinced we were signing him. Watch him tear us a new one when we meet now.
Chelsea have signed next to nobody of note this summer, yet they sign Pedro and are suddenly 'efficient'."? I'm happy with our signings and how we wrapped them up. Chelsea want Pedro more obviously, it has nothing to do with them bring more efficient.
We go again.
Definitely, just ask John Stones
Yes, we are so efficient. That's why we've just made a bid for Stones for the 2500th time this summer without getting anywhere.
BBC saying he's on his way to Chelsea
I dont think people here would have had seizures like they are right now if the transfer didnt look so close to completion. I would have liked Pedro but not overly upset that Chelsea got him. Was far more annoying when we lost out on Hazard and Lucas. I cant recall too many people calling for him before we were linked. Still will be gutted if he tears it up for the chavs.
People invest way too much into these transfer stories. Is it a new thing created by social media? I swear people didn't seem so obsessed with piecing evey bit of transfer gossip together in the past.
Best to sit back, and wait for proper/official news.

Grass is always greener. I'm sure Arsenal fans don't feel all that efficient either with their issues of landing a striker after getting their hopes up with Benzema, having only signed Cech.

This thread has it all and it's only been an hour.
Can't wait for the LvG interview, shall be interesting

haha everyone getting their panties twisted at my Chelsea being efficient post. Calm down transfer muppets
Would rather have Adnan and Pereira getting gametime over him.
That's just down to Everton being small time and refusing to give the richer club what they want. Stuff like that sickens me.
We suddenly drop interest after Chelsea agree a fee
Despite us being connected to him for the best part of a month now.
We didn't pay the money. Chelsea offered the right package and he chose Chelsea. It's as simple & embarrassing as that.

Either Woody messed this up or maybe we have somebody else lined up. Andy Mitten was on the radio yesterday saying that Pedro definitely wanted to join and the club expected the deal to go though. Its also possible that we are happier than expected with Memphis, as the club were expecting it to take a year for him to settle in.
By "getting their panties twisted" you mean "pointing out the obvious inconsistency in your post"?
Ah well, maybe bid £120 million for Bale or Muller, eh Woodward?
Fecking clown will pay £27 million for Fellaini but won't pay £21 million for Pedro.

yeah that
Every source is saying it wasn't about the money and we were willing to meet the clause.
Seriously, people need to get a grip.
Same ol' shit, dawg and it's a different day.

Indeed. Woodward takes a couple of steps forward then umpteen back.
If we don't add anyone else this summer - while Chelsea and City strengthen squads that are already better than ours then its going to be a long season.
Did we even firmly want him?
Money is certainly a non issue so no I don't think Ed fecked it up. More like LvG was uncertain if Pedro was a huge upgrade.

Has Van Gaal decided that we don't need more options? Clearly happy with what he's seen so far.
Strange one this but at least the bashing of the club is in full swing.
Its not his fault. Moyes dithered about who to get and decided to get Fellaini.
LVG pulled out of Pedro deal.
But go on, blame Woodward....
There's always the chance you'll pay more than his transfer clause 5 minutes before the window closes if he hasn't signed for Chelsea.
I have a feeling United will regret this one, altough you just can't tell what went on behind closed doors.

I'd love to know what the average mental age of the transfer forum is.
woody specifically briefed the journos about our interest(they are even pics too of that ), the manager all but agreed to that we were interested...then after two games where we have lacked creativity, we have suddenly pulled out? And the ceo takes a significant part of his time to travel to barcelona for a player we had just a passing interest...yes that makes....its more likely that he chose Chelsea...its silly to see some here that are more interested in houlier than thou thing and mocking people for having meltdowns....people are dissapointed, they are human
United are an embarrassment of a club etc. How can I look my Chelsea/Liverpool/Sunderland supporting colleagues in the face after this?
Agreed. Had we not actually been in for him, I don't imagine people would've been as determined that we get him as they have been.
What pics?
And again let me remind people that Chelsea were linked to him before we were. So we really have no idea how efficient they were with this

We will short term. Next 2-3 years I would think. Still I will be happy if we can bring some one in who is younger and more long term.
Pedro is crap anyway; why do you think Barca don't give him a look in.
Massively overrated, in my opinion. If he isn't good enough for Barca, then his isn't good enough for a club like us.
