Ed wants a bargain and wants to beat people down, but is absolutely useless at it.

This is the worst part. How many weeks ago did we have that bid rejected? 2 weeks, was it? Something like that.
Why didn't we either a) return a few days later with a higher bid, or b) move swiftly onto a new target?
Why has Woodward and co just been sitting there until several days before the window closes before going back to the well with a higher bid?
Is that Ole?
edit: for whatever reason the video didn't appear until I've opened it on twitter.
Strangely the video hasn't embedded when I've pasted the tweet. Yeah, its him, three minute clip.
Lets try again...

Except, we haggle and then end up paying the original price anyway.
Haggling is making an offer and when they come back with something ridiculous, walk away. One side has to reduce their price, otherwise it isn't haggling.
Hahaha, the early deadline that everybody knew was in place for about one year, right?
That better not be Ole. It really had better not be Ole. Because that sounds like something a Yes Man would say. Hmmm....

Man, who will come out of this better? £90m for Maguire is the textbook definition of being mugged. Can’t see any resale value in that but let’s hope adding the most expensive defender in football history will win us lots of trophy.
It is how we seem to operate. Crazy stuff. He could have been on our tour and building up and understanding, all to save a few quid, except we haven't.
What rubbish. You can spin anything he says then I guess.
And again...
Other clubs seem to manage. It isn't as though the transfer window shutting early is a surprise.
My worry with the Fernandes spurs link is that he may have been our back up option if Pogba goes, (or wants to go.)
Yes.
I presume is the English Premier League market always going to close the day before the season starts or is it always going to be up for a vote whether it will close on that fate or not?
I prefer it to end on the 31st Aug/1st Sep.
Seems like we never had other alternatives as we went all in for him.
But wow that’s a lot for Maguire.
So are we now presuming that Pogba has been told he is going nowhere, at least this year. Let's hope there are some tasty targets available next season.
Well at least, they didn't know when the transfer deadline was. So all is forgiven. Cheers.
Maybe this is who Ole wanted and we have gone all in.
Seriously just get the feck out of here with this "early window" bullshit, every club in the country has to operate under the same timeline. Demand we do the fecking business, do the fecking business which we should have done weeks and weeks ago...
Ole. You have to open the tweet itself to see the video. We knew we had the early deadline all fecking summer.
Worst excuse ever. Really?
Sky arrive always late at announcing news these days.
I know that, you know that, unfortunately the club have not got the hang of it.
So do we have a different deadline to arsenal and spurs who don't seem to have a problem making signings?
Now what Woody?
This is not believable unless they plan to let Eriksen go
It is a stupid excuse. Start your negotiations earlier then and be decisive about them. Stop fecking dithering.
They're still replacing Moussa Dembele too. A creative central midfielder. Fernandes could fill that role.
Woodward must be shitting his pants right now. Just Kidding. I think for United, it will be Dybala and Maguire. Plus we keep Pogba. That would be a fantastic summer window. Even though we didn’t address the right attack midfield role.
I doubt it's true … or if it is then I'd reckon it's just to apply pressure to Real Betis re. Lo Celso.
£90m is fecking madness. I genuinely think we'd be better going to Burnley for Tarkowski, save £50m and there wouldn't be much difference between then.
Dembele is not a creative central midfielder. Dembele was replaced by Sissoko who has been outstanding since.
And signed up Rashford and De Gea. It’s not all grim.
He wasn't making an excuse, he was asked a question about the deadline and said we (assuming the Premier league) have the short straw because the rest of Europe can still try to make bids for the our player.
Sky have just push the 2 quotes together from different sentences.
I wondered about this. Tarkowski could be like signing Maguire before he went to Leicester.
It's been a deflating day so far.
That Bruno news is horrific and that line from Ole is nothing short of a joke.
Things will start turning really sour among the fanbase if something good doesn't happen soon.

Booooooooooo!
Cheers. Yeah, Ole is doing a wonderful job of suppressing his undoubted frustration.
