That won't be actually bad turnout - getting Bruno, Maguire, Dybala and Ben Yedder, whilst shipping off Lukaku, Rojo and Darmian. It's highly unlikely considering the time left and the inability of our negotiation team, but one can dream..

If it all happened, I would surely touch myself.

Brendan Rodgers will be quick to remind us he's carrying a knock and nothing has changed.
 
So... We're looking like this:

Out:
Lukaku - Certain
Rojo - Maybe
Darmian - Maybe

In:
Fernandes - Maybe
Maguire - Maybe
Longstaff - Maybe
Dybala - If Lukaku goes Juventus
Other striker (Ben Yedder?) - If Lukaku goes Inter


Looks like theres a lot of work to do in the next week because that's a lot of maybe's. (Obviously the out's can take longer as rojo/darmian wouldn't need replacing)
From where we are at the moment I would really like:D this but don't think it would happen considering how slow we move in the market:(
 
Something actually starts to make sense finally? Lukaku on the verge of exit, Darmian and Rojo to be sold rumours, Maguire calling in sick, Dybala "might consider a right offer"... Could it be that Woodward decided to work a bit for a change?

Doubt it. The media just have no other stories to run.
 
Because accounting and general business management are very important in terms of running the club, and they go hand in hand in football.

As per " Glazer s dog and Glazer s puppet". He is employed by the glazers to make the best possible returns on your investment. That s called an employee. Fans are a fickle bunch and their opinions/ thoughts should be contained, not allowed to run the club.

I just think everyone is overstating the role of Ed Woodward. The club is run successfully, hence why we are capable of being so dogshte, and still have the world s most expensive squad.

There are hundreds of employees on the football side of things, and on the board. Just because you don't know every single one doesn t mean they don't exist or play a role.

And Ed Woodward will be significantly more aware of his limitations as a football coach, which is why he is a CEO not a coach. Decisions are made from the ground up, some driven by fans ( Jose and Van Gaal sacking, Ole made permanent), some by the football men, some by the manager.

Also, any company s success is measured by financial power, a lot more than on the pitch. Manchester United FC is a company, and football is one of the many aspects of this company. We just need a consistent capable managerial head to power us through the post-saf period.

In any case all I wanted to say is that Eddy is not the be all end all of the club. He s an employee, very capable by all accounts at what he does, and holds no more power than that. If anything I'd see it as a " devil you know" appointment. Glazes trust him enough to allocate funds, and if he doesn't stay within their expectations, he will be replaced. He just needs to hire better football brains, the ones we have are not enough and I'm confident this will be addressed.

I as a football fan dont give a shit about the accounting side of the club. But even this he is failing at. The clubs value in the market decreased more than 15% in the last 24 months and the clubs share in the stock market dived from 25 dollars to 19 with more than 20% decrease in price of the share.
But you an d I are football fans. You talk about the club as it is Microsoft or Samsung like a totally commercial institution. But that is not the case. It is in the begging and the end a football club that have half a billion supporter around the world that are the clubs base for its economical power. Without the fans we will be just another mediocre club in the league.

Dude on the right looks like he has no arms.

To be honest, even if he didn't have any arms I doubt it would make a lot of difference to how many goals Newcastle will be conceding this season.

Fair, but it is also unfair not to note the development prior to the last 24 months.

As per us fans, yes I reiterate, there is little difference from Microsoft and Manchester United. Us, as fans, we " buy the product" and get upset when the product isn't up to the level.

This is how business owners see it, or have to see it. Pleasing the fan base, as has been proven multitude of times, is not about making decisions that prove to be popular. Popular decisions tend to be the worst.

All in all, I dnt think we re disagreeing with much, I personally don't care at all about the accounting side as long as it allows the club to buy who they want.

All I'm disagreeing with is the rhetoric of Woody is clueless. The amount of times I've read that he approves/ disapproves targets and what not comes from nowhere but here say. I think he s a capable business head, as per his job, and he should not be the sole scapegoat for what happens, and not distract the fans from putting blame on the Glazers if the club keeps underperforming.
 
Lyon have already sold 3 big players.. They dont need the money and wont sell cheap.. There is no way Woody can negotiate a deal with Aulas in 10 days.

No chance of it happening.
 
But Rojo still in the squad, and Jones

Well the selling Jones ship sailed with that new contract last year and i've made my peace with it.

But it looks like we're pricing Rojo out of a move just as we did with Darmian over the last 2 years by asking for £25m for him. He's under contract effectively until 2022, but hopefully we can get him shifted 2 years from now. You never know he might even play a few games between now and then.

I wouldn't bother mate, whilst I agree with everything you're saying, I've given up. It rarely ends up with any sort of meaningful or engaging discussion/debate. Too many people find it much easy to focus on a single figure point that they can direct all of their hate and frustration at. It will be his fault of the loo hasn't been cleaned.
