"We can do in the market, what other clubs couldn't dream of"...like d*ck around for months and buy everybody on deadline day?
If that happened I'd be impressed and take back all my doubts about Woodward

Alderweirald for cash + Shaw then? with you picking up Kurzawa and us sending rose out on loan somewhere. Then hopefully we could go in for Maguire as a replacement? who knows
Offer Martial plus $ for Dem...offer Rojo + $ for Mag....buy Alder outright....feck me, who needs Woodward.
How much cash would Levy really want along with Shaw? Alderweireld is available for 25 mil next year, plus you have to worry about your non-homegrown quota as you are having a surplus now and not enough homegrown players. I don't think Spurs are really in a position to play hard ball. If they do, they are gonna screw over themselves more than us.
If United managed to get even 'just' Toby and Dembele this short summer window, I would be really impressed. Heck, even Mag and Dembele would be great signings. Sign Toby in January, but less than 24 hours to go, it seems highly unlikely at this moment.
People think we could get Dembele?
LOL. Come on.
LOL. Come on.
Would this mean we're selling/swapping Pogba?
See Di Maria, Pogba transfer threads before this. There's hope!
You wouldn’t want Ousmane Dembele on our RW? Come on man!
Woodward doesn't set our targets...?
United have been absolute crap in this transfer window. I don't expect much in the time that's left and definitely don't expect much from the season. We'll struggle to make top 4. I think Chelsea may edge us out to make top 4.
They are quoting a story in Mundo Deportivo from two days ago https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futb...45608/dembele-arsenal-united-mercato-fcb.html
Dembele said yesterday (on a Twitch stream) he will stay at Barca.
I’d give up my left testicle for Dembele. Instant upgrade where it is actually needed. Only 21. Sign me up.
Funny way to put it but true.
He has attacking ability that may help our team left flank. As shite as one may want to call him, our LBs struggling to top those attacking contributions
If he's linked to United, he's shit.
Alderweireld and Dembele would actually make our summer window a lot better. Almost similar to how Chelsea have resurrected their window with Kovacic and Kepa
Oh well, it's back to HMS Sneidjer, the ship that sailed.
So you think Spurs will finish in the top four despite doing even less? The way I see it, their top four spot is more under threat than ours. We've still strengthened our midfield and Sanchez surely can't do any worse than he did when he first moved to us (I hope).
Ignoring the obvious fullback issues, the one thing that worries me is our reliance on De Gea. If we could sign an appropriate centre back before the window closes it'll be an okay window. Next summer we would have to get our fullback problem finally sorted but Dalot may surprise us all.
Another annoyance is the media jumping on everything to do with us and going on about this inevitable third season meltdown. On the back of tomorrow's papers I see:
'Barca prepared for Pogba chase'
'Mourinho furious with Pogba agent'
'Splash the cash - Sanchez: United must spend big before window shuts'
'United getting desperate but Pogba stays... for now'
'United set to miss target - Mourinho heading for clash with Old Trafford chief'
Compared to the following for Spurs:
'Give me my dream move - Grealish desperate to secure switch to Tottenham as top clubs battle to complete major deals'
'Have a Hart - Grealish desperate for Tottenham to make final deadline-day transfer move... and save his Champions League dream'
The difference in narrative is ridiculous. Once the window closes you can bet they won't be going on about how Spurs is in a crisis if they don't make any signings either.
Somehow on the Spurs forum they've made 2640 posts in their transfer thread over the past two days and their summer transfer thread has more posts than ours despite the caf having 20x the number of posts overall. Very weird.
Damien, you make a good point. However, Spurs play as a team and their team is pretty much intact. We are struggling to gel as a team (on the field) and our biggest issues have been our fullbacks which were not sorted. Our RW lacks width and creativity. There are too many gaping holes which were not addressed. Losing Alderweireld may not make them all that weaker considering he was injured for the most part and Davidson Sanchez became a regular towards the second half of the season.
My biggest reason for us struggling for top 4 is not the fact that our squad is worse than Spurs but the fact that all of Spurs' players apart form Alderweireld want to play for Poch while we have quite a few are not necessarily motivated by Jose.
Spot on.
I am sure there are plenty of all old world champions they could make do with.
Great post and 100% agree with the bold.
I'd go even further and add that I think our window was a very good one if we end up with either Alderweireld or Maguire and the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs don't bring anyone else in. Obviously if Chelsea add someone like Fekir or Zaha and also manage to keep Hazard then it's a tougher run at the top. At the end of the day, an okay/very good/great window is also dependant on what our competitors for Champions League places do. And at this stage Spurs haven't improved whilst Arsenal always had more ground to gain because of their 6th place finish.
No team has ever improved in the upper echelons of the Premier League by standing still. Spurs have fecked themselves.
Great posts there. "It'll be undeniable that I was right"

Best bit.
So 12 more hours to end of this shit show transfer window, right?
The Reddit guy says Tobi was our main target all summer but Levy is being a right cnut. I think the transfer will happen Berba style.
It’s 5.50am and I’m bright and raring to go.
Let’s hope big bad Ed Woodward is the same.
Let’s hope big bad Ed Woodward is the same.
The state of this place if we actually buy the left back PSG don't want in order that they can replace him with the superior left back, instead of ourselves buying the superior left back.
Our players are championship level, the grass is greener and all that.
I’m up early and ready for this day , common JosEd lets do some business.
That's the actual opinion of of basically everyone on here lol
Talk about two birds and one stone, get Toby and sell them Loco Rojo.
Will the Caf be able to take the strain if we don't sign anyone by deadline day ? @Damien
I hope he’s jacked to the tits on caffeine and hasn’t slept. Luckily I’m flying so I can’t torture myself all day
10 hrs left? We're fecked.
By the end of the day we'll have bought Kurzawa, Alderweireld and Fekir and we'll win the league!
Hahahahaha top red!
Hahahahaha top red!
Kurzawa, Alderweireld, Mandzukic, Rebic. You heard it first.
IF we get Kurzawa and Maguire/Toby then we’ve got the squad to go 3-5-2 and it’s a decent window.
Big IF though

Best case scenario is one in and one out according to Lackhurst.
I think the guys a cnut... but a tweet is a tweet
"Kurzawa has been ‘courted’ by Manchester United ‘in recent hours’ according to the French newspaper.
Manchester United have made it clear they want to ‘take action’, but L’Equipe believe an exit at this stage is ‘difficult to imagine’."
