Christ, people do love a meltdown over some standardly pointless comments.

I believe OGS said before the window started he expected 3 or 4 signings. James and AWB is good business. So far so good. Doesn't mean it will be good enough if it stays like this though.
Be honest. Have you even heard of James before we signed him? I am Welsh and I hadnt. Might be a good player in the future, but we need players now. We needed at least 4 first team players to come in. RB, CB, CM, RW, ST
There are some depressing tw**ts as well.
What is he even supposed to say. We are actively in negotiations and still working on multiple deals.
Ofcourse he has to sound content in interviews. Why antagonize bosses and also make it tough for transfers to go through.
Not just in this thread.
Yes, screw being a yes man to the scummy board, come out and talk of his frustration so that becomes more and more obvious how much of a ride the owners are taking the fans for, as much as I disliked how many things about Mourinho's management I respect him for making it known that the club were holding back on transfers.
Have you realised what I said?
I don't think we can count Dan James as a first team signing. He's the kind of signing City and Chelsea make and then send to their feeder clubs on loan. We need at least 4 first team players to be signed now. And I'm confident that we can get the players we need to challenge for the title.
Glad to see we are working on a case or two. Would like it to be a few more but would take 2 from where we are at the moment. The one thing that concerns me is the part that says there will 'probably be some more business done'.
Why don't you go ahead and tell us why signing James is "good business". He put up very average stats in the Championship and has played a grand total of zero games in the Premier League. As has just been pointed out by another poster, 99% of the people in this forum had never even heard of him unless maybe you live in Wales. There are people here penciling him in as our starting RW - it's fecking lunacy. Ole must be living on another planet if he's pleased with our window so far. And even more worrying than the lack of first team signings is the fact that we still have Darmien, Rojo, Sanchez, the Chuckle Brothers and have resigned Mata and Perreira. It's a Shit Show.
No I hadn't but that doesn't mean he can't or won't be a good player for us. And just because that's what we need doesn't mean it's realistic when each of them costs 50+ million and the ones that don't prefer other teams (i.e. Rabiot). I've said all along we're too broken to be fixed in one window and the club have never expressed the intention of signing more than 4 players. That was the press.
So now Mourinho was good to create a toxic mood in the club? When has that ever delivered a positive on the pitch?
What are you disagreeing with again? You seem to say the same point as the quote you posted.
And where is Mourinho now ? For all we know, we might be close to signing a couple of players. Has it occured to you that OGS might know more than he is willing to tell ?
What an awful decision. They have Yari Verschaeren playing on his position, who I consider the biggest talent since De Bruyne/Hazard in Belgium. I hope Kompany is not that stupid, to play Nasri in stead of him. He'll hopefully start Nasri on the right and Verschaeren on the left.
Hope so. Would prefer Koulibaly to Maguire every day of the week.
Please let this be true. I know a great straight swap we could do.
Probably too good to be true but if it is at least they have a few other players worth doing a swap deal with even if they wont budge on Koulibaly.
You mean why Ole appears so relaxed in the press statement?
Please let this be true. I know a great straight swap we could do.
I see the odds of a straight swap at 0% given their value of Koulibaly. At least 50-75 million pounds plus Lukaku for him would be my guess, with a far more likely option being another low ball offer like Inter’s with no Koulibaly involved, unless he is actively asking to leave
Worries me that he's not that good in the air though. Paired with Lindelof, with De Gea behind them? We'd be asking for it.
In fact I'm sure I saw some stats around here pointing out that he was actually worse than Lindelof in the air!
Would have to pair him with Smalling if he does come in I'd say.
Fun fact: his first name is Benito, his brother's Betino and his sister Betina. There you go.
Really?
Fun fact: Their father Benito Betino took his last game of Scrabble fecking seriously.
I'd rather work with Napoli than Inter.
72 million plus Isco or Bale supposedly being offered.
For Pogba? Bad bad deal.
Edit: Seen the tweet, looks like Mino's turning those gears.
God I hope we avoid dealing with that manslug from now on.
I hope we don't feck this up with taking a past it player in swap plus cash from Real.
Nothing but cash.
Can't they get the process started by telling Real Madrid it'll be 200m or no deal. United can't do anything unless Real pay the required fee.
Who’s saying this?

We will replace him with Longstaff. Glazers pocket the 85m or so difference.
