When I wanted transfer news from about 48 hours ago, this isn't what I envisaged.

The end is nigh abandon ship. This is becoming a saga that will end in tears, and it will be the fans crying. The club seems to be in turmoil at the moment if rumors of flair players wanting to leave and the transfer targets we are again rumored to be after falling short of what we need.
What happened to the Manchester United that went out to win a game 4-3 etc you score but we will always score more. This is why the club is so famous and throughout the world, I want those days back and to hell with this tactical dour football.

David McDonnell: "Anthony Martial will not be allowed to join Chelsea or Tottenham – even if they are prepared to pay in excess of £70million for him."
Pavel Nedved.
Turned out the scout is more drunk. Martial, winger? Even his camp sees him as forward... No drinking on job. Sack 'em all
Sanchez' signing ruined Martial's chance tbf.
It's best to part ways. Sell him to the highest bidder (Not Chelsea, City, Liverpool), I'm fine with him joining Spurs if we can't find buyer from outside England.

No disrespect but maybe you don't know much about Juve owners?
This is why FFP came into place... If this is how it worked then PSG and Shitty could buy every player in the world
In other words, he'll be forced to stay because no team outside of the PL can/will afford to pay that much.
A club abroad won't pay anywhere near the €60M we've forked out for Martial so far.
Some of you love a fecking moan.. Wait till the transfer window is over before you destroy your keyboards...
Because we're excellent at buying aren't we. Lots of success stories in our transfer history over the last 6 years.
Yeah I will be sad to see Martial go
True, but you can't exceed 100 million euros between expenses and income no?
Juve still have to sell people like Higuain, Rugani (if the rumours are true they could get around 100 from these two) and others so I wouldn't rule it out completely yet.
This window is worrying as feck.
And you think 100m€ would get you Pogba?
I'm a big fan of Martial but agreed. If his heart isn't in it when he has a big chance to cement his place in the opening games of the season then there isn't much point keeping him around.
Will be one to watch, considering we are being linked to the likes of Willian,Bale, Perisic etc. for large sums surely he would have been worth a punt at that price.
Foresight. This was discussed before the decision on closing the transfer window early idea was made official. Quite many saw it as bad idea from the get go. Why further shooting oneself in the foot when the PL already paying transfer tax in most case?
Letting Martial go now when Jose is probably 12 months max from leaving us just seems pointless. Send him on loan if we have to (rather not) but for heaven sakes don't sell him whatever we do.
This manager is on borrowed time. No way our fans will continue to support him if the weekly dross is served up again all season.

That's why I added "if we look hard enough and are willing to buy". Our transfer policy must change, it is not a question of whether it can change or not. Because if it doesn't, we will return to Moyes era status in a couple of years no matter who manages us.
What a car crash of a transfer window this is shaping into, I honestly believed we will see 4-5 quality players coming in and deadwood leaving at this point I'd be happy if we didn't lose first team players without replacement.

I wanted signings this week! Not more drama
Does ANYONE in the media want to just say some nice things about us? Even if they're shite.
Media wankers at full force. They do like to Rub salt on our wounds these cnuts
Now this here. This is total BS.
What brings you to that conclusion?
Seems like a reasonable reason why he chose to leave though ?
Luckhurst finds any excuse to put the club down (see: when we arrived late for the West Ham or Spurs game a few years ago and he was demanding us to be fined or some shit). At Zenit he'll be on a higher pay with a role of more importance (Sporting director). Why wouldn't he move?
Ah, our dear friend Luckhurst with his sensationalist or out of context quotes as always
Feck me, what a day
Martial hell bent on leaving, Pogba wants to go, Mourinho ditches plans to buy Sandro or any LB for that matter , United drop their interest in Alderweireld, United to fork out 65 million pounds on fecking Maguire and United's chief scout leaves the club because he had no power!!

It's the easiest thing to come up with after such a thing happens? No one is going to verify this and to top it off, MEN and Luckhurst are terrible.
Apparently it was unanimous amongst the clubs, even the bigger ones like Utd who do most of the plundering. It was so everyone had to make do with what they had from the first game, and couldn't suddenly sign a few players a couple of games into the season.
As an idea it makes sense, but it only works if the rest of the major leagues follow on to be honest.
It's hardly a stretch though is it.
When Luckhurst was reporting we wanted Lukaku, but everyone was convinced we wanted Morata, he was called a know-nothing wanker then. Turned out he was right all along. So I wouldn't be so quick to call him a bullshitter
Luckhurst is and always has been a shit stirrer. He geys briefed occasionally but he also loves to get retweets.
So let’s ignore the facts and Ribalts own words and listen to this guy he knows better obviously...
Absolute scum stealing a living off stories with no drama
@Kush
Sure, things may be portrayed a bit more 'dramatic' but that is merely the CAF atmosphere at work.Their legs aren't going to fall off all of a sudden, both are far from the required standard but will do the job as the did last season. Plus we have youngsters in Dalot/Shaw still.
JM stated the following after Valencia's injury; "And I think we need to get used to it because last season he was already in this kind of situation and probably this season we will have more than that." Dialot has also been ruled out until September, but it would also be a huge ask to expect him to be a world beater, at age 19, in his debut season in a very demanding physical competition such as the PL. Shaw's confidence looks shot. I agree that he could have a good spell of games, but it just doesnt seem to be working out for him, strengthened with a 'poor relationship' with the manager. United, one of world's most recognized clubs should be expected to line up natural fullbacks.
Smalling has put his injury troubles behind him, there is no established partnership as of now but there is an opportunity for one of Bailly, Lindelof, Jones and Rojo to form one. Far from ideal but not exactly the worst situation given we have options.
Bailly missed 20+ games last season with an ankle unjury, but i do admit that this should not be a projectory of how he will fare next season. In regards to Jones, how often have fans stated that 'this season he will finally leave his injuries behind him' ? In regards to Lindelof. A big season is ahead of him who has one year of PL football in the pocket. He enjoyed good and bad games and i feel the opinion on him is divided. Rojo is solid, but not world-class to relay your title hopes on. This will be Mourinho's third season and there is no real established backline which is worrying but then again, injuries and the adaptation of Lindelof havent really helped this cause.
Bollocks,
I do agree that these are just rumours, but could there be any truth to it? Like any rumour, time will tell.
None of us have the slightest clue as to what he did in the past year, and in case you missed it he got a promotion and a better wage packet at Zenit.
True. Its unfortunate that United couldnt reap the rewards of a scout who has been highly praised for his work at Juventus.
Again just rumors, none of the reputed journos have spoken anything about it. Looking at Simon Stone/Di Marzio.
Agree. Fans naturally would love to see United adress the positions that ought to be adressed and when an 'underwhelming'' rumour as this one comes to the surface it only strengthens the fans who are 'worried'
about the priorities (winger and fullbacks)
As always, the reality is somewhere in the middle. Things aren't ideal going into the season but it's hardly as horrific like many of you are portraying.
