Ronaldo or Bale. Keeps changing his mind.
I have to say... The reports that LVG pulled the plug do make us look very silly given it was widely accepted that Woodward flew to Barcelona this week to wrap up a deal! If that's the case either LVG is very indecisive and changes his mind like the wind, Woodward isn't working with LVG to get the players LVG wants or more likely Pedro chose Chelsea.
Every transfer is subjective. Just because it's happened before, it doesn't mean it's happened again. I honestly think we have someone else lined up.
That poll 
Seriously though, why don't we go for De Bruyne? Is he too expensive? Quality player, like a taller, quicker Mata, great technique, can score goals and very versatile.

I still have belief in Muller being a surprise package on Deadline Day.
Maybe this is the reason will pulled out? to save a bit of cash for Bayern.

Here's another scenario,maybe Pedro was stalling so that one of his other preferred clubs came in for him ?
I think its been a good transfer season for us over all,so I think the grief Ed and co are getting is OTT.

Personally I don't think he is anywhere near Sanchez level.
We shall see, but I'm more interested on who we are going to go after, rather than who Chelsea have. We have always lost out on some players, better players than Pedro - who really gives a feck.
My thoughts exactly.
Strange one. It really seems as if LvG is not 100 % convinced by Pedro for whatever reason. I don`t think that Pedro changed his mind so quickly once Mourinho called him.
So there are 2 possibilities:
1. LvG is happy with Mata on the right and does not see Pedro as improvement. Mata will stay there and we will see more of Januzaj, Herrera, Fellaini and maybe Pereira behind Rooney.
2. We have got someone else in the pipeline.

Give the younger players a chance.. Not bothered at all bigger fish to fry this weekend Newcastle
I don't, I think we just fecked up here and we'll be stuck with Mata on the right all season.
We didn't pull out though. It's obvious that is a line sent to journalists desperately trying to save face.
Chase a player for a month and then say "Nah, didn't want him anyway." after he goes to a different club.
Neymar Messi Suarez...Come on now.
Not sure I agree on the "good luck" issue there...
Even if it was true we pulled out the indecision for me would be a source for concern. Going in half hearted for players not even sure if we want them is not the stage we should be at two weeks before the window closes.
Yep just like when RvP left and we had a top striker coming.
Honestly face it. We dithered and he chose London. It's so obvious. Hell the player came out and said he didn't want to leave Barca, he just wants more game time. Hardly committed to anyone wanting him.
Seriously I 100% hope we get Griezmann instead. Massssssive Utd fan, would be unreal here with memphis. Would take N0.9. Feck Pedro, and lets get Griezmann!.
Griezmann is my #1 choice as a forward target as well
There is definitely more to this than us simply not paying up the cash Barcelona wanted. People can speculate and read articles and tweets till the cows come home, but we'll never know the real reason. Personally, I'm a bit gutted as he would have strengthened us big time, but I have a feeling we'll get someone else before the window closes. Even if we don't it won't be the end of the world. We've had a great start
This sucks. Was thinking this was almost done and dusted! Let's hope we can get someone else in if he indeed ends up at Chelsea, and let's hope it wasn't because of a few pounds, which I find hard to believe.
I know he just signed a new deal, but thats only for them to earn more on selling him in my wishful, hopeful opinion haha.
He really would be unreal. Seems too obvious of a move though
I'd like to think that Chelsea simply came in with a better offer, as they need new signings more than us, and especially so after that start.
If we wanted him, he would already be here. He has a buyout clause of 60m Euros? I dont know, it is just how i see it. There is no need to wait on him if we really think he would be the real deal.
If this reaction was over Reus or Griezmann I would understand...it's bloody Pedro
Doesn't Griezmann now have an €80m release clause? He's worth nowhere near that amount and I doubt you'd be willing to pay that anyways for a player who wouldn't be a nailed on starter every week.
I guess in the end Pedro wanted to go to Chelsea instead of us, whatever the reasons may be. LvG naming pedro as a potential signing we needed, Woody flying to Barcelona, no way we let this deal burst on a few million quid. I guess Pedro had his reservations and because of that we couldnt close.
Maybe we have a backup plan, or maybe Pedro even was that plan and we have a marqee signing coming. However this isnt the most realistic option. We'll have to wait and see.

This!!!!!!
If I were him, I would get my agent to hound Utd trying to arrange a move
would fit this team so much better than Pedro ever would.

RIP manshester untied, sack frogie, etc
Going to steer clear for the day I think.

I think you jinxed it. He's turd anyway.
Maybe you guys know him better, is he always downbeat?
A) Buyout clauses mean little. If you offered a decent amount thats under the clause, they would still be interested in a deal
B) "who wouldn't be a nailed on starter every week" I disagree. He is better than at least 2 of our forward options I can think of
Yes please! Someone start a hype thread. Maybe some journos will pick up on it and start inventing stories. They then ask Van Gaal about it in a press conference and he goes "no comment" but doesn't really know who he is. Louis is left intrigued and goes home to watch a youtube compilation, proceeds to call up Woodward who faxes a £56m bid.
And that's the story of how the Caf signed Griezmann.
Lets see how he is faring out in the PL come Christmas first before we start crying into our Weetabix. I've a feeling we've dodged a bullet and Young will outshine him.
LvG will have Darmian glued to him. He'll have him in his pocket.

LvG doesn't decide what becomes widely accepted.
Sounds like you've taken the news quite hard. The windows isn't closed yet so your point on RVP is irrelevant right now.
It might not be Muller, but i think we have someone else lined up instead - just like the Clyne Darmian situation.
