Let's not turn this into a personal pissing match.
If not now, when? There aren't too many situations in which we can sign him from here. If we do, it'll be at a higher cost or because he failed at Bayern.
All that tells me is that you need treatment for multiple personality disorder.
Heh heh, nah seriously Analysing the way the transfer went you seemed to had a full rage stage when Rojo incensed you with his behaviour of refusing to train, then come around a bit because you had to accept reality and went full on "he will make it despite having a few weaknesses that need ironing out" after a drunken session of jerking off hearing that you were getting Nani on loan as part of the deal.
I won't i´m just defending my position regarding professor Kevin but i'm still helping out with stuff about Renato Sanches and translating stuff.
Not worried, I don't know where this fits in the Prochess. We could all be fine.
Agree with this.
Fair enough.
Perhaps we felt confident enough that we could close the deal and allowed negotiations to drag on this long. Once Bayern came in , we obviously stood no chance.
The fact that we arent much of a football force though can be partly attributed to Woodward and his manager. Yes they have not had the best hand, but they have a lot to answer for a part of our decline.
From their website
I get excited about most transfers, but this was one I didn't (easy to say no obviously)
Not seen him play much, but with the comments I saw from Benfica fans etc, I think the guy needs time to develop, and with the fee's quoted, I'd much rather got for an established player right now, that could cost less with all them potential add ons.
In 4 or so years, I may regret saying this, but right now, it's not a transfer that gutted me, like the Hazard one etc

By "not yet", I mean that he is not worth that amount yet. Now that he is at Bayern I don't care about him joining United, there is other players and there will be other players.
If we scouted him so many times without taking decisive action, it suggests that we were quite unsure about his quality/price-tag anyway.
Spot on.
I'm not particularly bothered, it's just being sick of negative, negative headlines all the time. This player snubbed us, that player snubbed us, we've signed some player nobody has ever heard of and then wonder why he is rubbish. It would just be nice for something really positive. Maybe the headlines next weekend will be Manchester City missing out on CL and we can all have a good laugh.
So now we have lost out on both Dembele and Sanches, probably the two biggest talents that where available to us this summer, way to go Woody. I can't wait for your excuses about us not wanting them in the first place as we were busy trying to get Neymar, Messi and fecking Maradona.
Yeah, I agree. It would have been quite interesting to see how he would have developed, though.
Nah, you are the one who have to come down from your pedestal and understand that i'm not a footballing scholar like yourself and just gave my assessment of Rojo from HIS TIME AT SPORTING. I admit that i was angry when he refused to train but even so i didn't forget what he did for us football wise, gave us good money transfer wise and apologized to the club so i still rooted for him to make it at United since i have a soft spot for both him and the club. Just to close this affair, who knows, perhaps Mourinho can work his magic and turn him into a decent player for United. He has worked on bigger miracles such as turning crap players like Nuno Valente or Pedro Mendes into world beaters
Gary Lineker made the same point to Times journo Rory Smith on twitter. As far as I'm aware, Sanches could be a top player but Bayern are paying top money for him so that's fair enough.
Apparently souted in 20 times? Bit of a waste of time and energy just to figure out he's not worth it.
So true.
That's all very well, but the bottom line is that we've missed out on signing the name on every knowledgeable football fan's lips: Tomato Sachnez.
In fairness the tomato sandwich joke potential almost makes me annoyed at missing out on him.
It's pissed The Sun off royal, mate. And the Mirror.
That does make me feel better
I'll have you know I've been watching Porto all season in the Romanian Premier League because of this lad and believe me when I tell you he's going to be a star. Remember the name: Humberto Bantez.
Meanwhile, Sports Witness reckons that Sanches chose Bayern 'personally' and another source claims that United 'decided not to buy him'.
That's a pretty accurate description of this thread.
Since I've never seen him play I can't really say if he is good or not but considering that Bayern made that deal happen and spent some considerable money on him he can't be really bad. Still I don't think he is a player in an areas where we immediately need strengthening. I'm more bummed out that we lost out on Dembele, if we were ever in for him, he would have instantly added some spark to our right wing imo.
And if he flops and doesn't meets the heights then no drama. Lets see him actually do something worthwhile first
Was there ever any concrete proof that we were in for in, because I remember when we were meant to be signing Thiago, but he later confirmed we never had talks with him?
And if he doesn't flop & does reach the heights?
Still can't believe Woodward let Benatia go to Bayern.
I agree. He has spoilt us in terms of investment recently. People seem to think we must sign every player the media links us with irrespective as to whether they were feasible
This would be a lot more fun if it was Liverpool that missed out on him. The excuses would be even more hilarious than ours.
llllolllll. Me too.
2500+ posts of discussion about the player in question can hardly be described as 'showing no interest'.
Don't see the issue really, teams miss out on players. Just hope it's down to us not being interested with his price tag and it isn't down to something else, like us being unsure about the next manager.
Impressive from Bayern though, we could learn a lot form them.

Look we got lucky with Martial, but do we need an 18 year old CM right now? 18 year old to waltz into our premier league midfield and start bossing it/controlling the game. Bayern have enough midfielders to allow him to develop. At us he will need to be ready now. Better off going for Gundogan
Gary is the biggest culprit of such anti united jibes tho.....
Knowing Ed he won't let it lie, he'll be back in there, the little tiger.
