Not sure I like these Woodward comments from Jose - given the trouble he's had at his past clubs with the higher-ups, I really don't like the idea of him almost calling-out the man who has gone out of his way to give him all he wants up to this point.
Since all he wanted before (Zlatan, Pogba, Bailly, Mkhitaryan) all came good, maybe he's entitled to ask Woodward to go out of his way again, since Woodward's way looked a bit silly before.
 
Maybe its nothing to keep targets quiet or maybe its passive aggression for not moving earlier in the market. I exoect a duncan castles article by Monday.
Or it's just - ask Woodward. :)

Moving earlier? Its the end of May, I doubt Jose is angry at Woodward cause he didn't get all his targets.
 
We don't play our first pre-season friendly until July 15th.. add a week or maybe two at the most before than when the squad gets together and starts training so you're looking at around July 1st until Ed has to work his magic and yet people are losing their minds after 3 days.
Medicals the 8th, we're flying to LA the 9th.
 
By all accounts Belotti is a target man type who is primarily good in the air. I don't see the point in signing that type of forward when we lack width/crossing ability.
Of course, let's depend on Fellaini playing as forward when teams park their bus.:rolleyes:
 
What's up with all this impatience here?
Not only that people assume Jose is already impatient cause what, City got Silva?
 
Why exactly?

If we are as reported after Morata and Mendy and he says Ed has the list it is all up to him and we lose on our reported targets, you think he will be happy? Getting gettable strikers in will be harder and more expensive.
 
Honestly speaking, I'd prefer us to throw 60m EUR at Icardi and see if it sticks, than opt for Moratta.

Do you know who's on the list?
Or you trust everything journos say?

If he hadnt said 2months quote twice in 3 days, i would accept "just ask woody". I think Jose is pissed.
All clubs lay groundwork for signings during the season. I think woody may have not as he wanted to make sure we were in CL.

It's quite painful to read at the moment, we finished our season 3 days ago and because we haven't made 3/4 signings people are losing their minds. We have a little over two months before we kick a ball again, plenty of time to get the players we want through the door.
 
So apparently we were in for Mendy and Morata and lost out on both?
Its going to be a long summer :(
 
The List of Mourinho is nothing compared to the List of Jericho.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Woodward was working slow, seems we're missing out on Mendy by getting in too late. Still not arsed though, I'm sure we have back-up's in mind if it comes to that.
 
Since when did Milan start beating us to signings. This window is going to be a long one with many twists and turns!
His wife wants to move back to Italy or something along those lines.

Yeah, I just don't get it. There were comments yesterday about people being devastated cause we didn't get Silva (or supposedly missed him somehow) and us being left behind if we don't move quickly. Then you look at the date and it's not even June...

He said it when he was asked 2 times about Griezmann, I think people are pissed and then assume Jose is pissed too..

It's not that we haven't made 3 or 4 signings, it's our reported targets are being picked up by other clubs.

I remember a similar meltdown a few seasons ago when Chelsea signing Andre Schulle early doors.. everyone wanted to through the towel in there and then. Everyone just needs to calm down, enjoy the sun and let Ed do his stuff.

Who says we were in too late? It could be that Mendy just preferred City, just like Moratta prefers AC.
 
Some of you really need to take a break :D Season finished 2 days ago and you are already panicking that we didn't sign anyone and calling Woodward slow :D Seriously?

Won't happen, if anything people will be even more crazy.
 


I wonder how Woody is taking these comments by Jose?

Also, I'm sure Jose has to put in some work to get his targets like give them a call to inform them of his plans for them and how they fit in his project. I doubt it's all like "here Woody, these are the players I want - I'm off to Portugal for a month. Don't disturb me. I expect to see them all when I come back."

Main word there is 'reported'. For me Bernardo Silva doesn't fit in to a Jose team so whether we were after him or not is debatable.
