Stupid response. Did you read what I wrote?
Maybe we already decided we are not buying anymore players and let this Dybala episode play out. No CL money is going to take its toll.
Club is a shambles. No real plan yet again. As soon as we gave Mata a new contract this summer I knew nothing had changed. DoF was supposed to be in place, yet nothing yet again. Rojo, Darmian, Young, Mata and Jones should all be gone never mind being backups.
The fact that Young has been named captain when he plays is embarrassing. They think we will be happy just because we’ve signed a right back and centre back? Positions we have needed for so long as it is!

Better off not getting dybala. The last thing united need is a player who doesn't want to come here. Great player to have sure. Just suck it up and move on.
What profile? He is surplus at Juventus. Juve were happy to sell him and Mandzukic for Lukaku.
He is massively overrated here on the caf.
He was getting paid plenty at Juventus.. wanted to double that. He apparently wanted close to 400k / week and his agent wanted 10m+ . Those are absurd numbers.
We wasted 4-5 days on the deal. Hardly weeks or months.
There is a lot you can criticize Woodward for.. and if he fails to get a midfielder or an attacker in the next 5 days, there is a lot we should criticize woodward for.. But this is not one of those cases.
seems like we have interest in midfielders but not a very attacking one like fernandes given that pogba will stay
To be fair. If the Dybala camp made it clear on day one that to move they'd be wanting them sort of demands, it's 4-5 days wasted. It'd take a day to try and negotiate and realise you're getting nowhere
Everybody can see what our problems are, us, pundits, the press. The only people who appear to be ignoring those problems are the people running the club. The constant stays of execution on certain players for a start.
54 mil + 1 pound
I'll take it.
Yep - it'd be like undoing the good work we've done with bringing Maguire, Wan Bissaka and James in, who you feel are pleased to be here and have a point to prove.
It'd also suggest we haven't learnt our lesson with whopping huge deals out.
Sorry all, no news to report from championship to League 2 - it's a quiet day, probably due to yesterday being the opening day of the new season for the 3 non-PL professional leagues. There should be some activity this week but a lot of chips have already fallen so updates will be fewer and further between.
Some news: this Brentford deal looks all but done and Bournemouth will likely be making a club-record transfer in the next week or so.

I don't get why people lap it up.
I know he's obviously doing the job for the Glazer's, but he needs to stop thinking he can take everyone for idiots.
He obviously saw Ole clutching a piece of paper in his hand at some point. It was probably a shopping list off the wife.
Sell Lukaku, get a holding mid and Mandzukic and go all in for Sancho next year. Would be happy enough with that. Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, James, Mandzukic + holding mid and we are way better off than last year.
'Club will only bid for player if they haven't already been sold to another club first'
Ground breaking stuff
Calciomercato | Dybala and the Manchester United they do not find the agreement, the Inter back on track for Lukaku but the Juventus it does not give up It is a challenge between the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri for the Belgian striker: the point of the situation
True, this smells like Sanchez all over again, a big player suddenly available and splashing to much cash at him.
Dybala camp came to the table a day or two later. It was first proposed on Tuesday. We probably sat down to talk late wed/thurs.
We negotiated with Juve, we started negotiating with Dybala's agent.. If there wasnt any scope for negotiations or a huge differences in the offer/demand, we probably set ourselves a deadline and that has probably passed.
I am not sure how much faster that could have gone
Yet we pursued Dybala, an attacking midfielder?
Don't go by Woodward's latest briefing. I think Dybala's demands were largely acceptable. However what I think actually happened is he didn't show enough willingness to actually join, hence us walking away.
If that is the case then the club has not learned anything and we have only dodged a bullet by virtue of being rejected. If we were serious about buying a certain profile of player then we wouldn't have bloody wasted time on even entertaining a move in the first place
The thing is Juve have no money and Dybala was the only player they had that matched the value for the swap, I don't see how they can do anything unless Dybala changes his mind, we'll likely have to sell Lumpy to Inter for about £50M.
It wouldn't be a proper summer window without us being linked with a Ronny return
Pjanic will do.
I highly doubt we're going to sell Lukaku to Inter for £50m. Then again, it depends on how desperate we are to get rid of him
I'd take Pjanic, Bentancur, Bernadeschi or Costa. And cash obviously.
So looks like we will end the transfer window selling Lukaku and keeping an unhappy pogba without reinforcing our midfield.
One horse race?
What other players do Juve have to offer? Will take Pjanic + Costa .. Doubt Juve would offer those.
I'd rather send Lukaku to juve on loan with obligation to buy for 80m euros if they cant afford him now than send him to Inter. feck Inter.
They are going to go into the dressing room and someone is going to pull the short straw. What a shit show this Lukaku deal is turning out to be.
Pjanic is 30 and not worth anything.
Pretty clear we want rid of him and he wants to go, pointless bringing him back, he'll offer nothing.
But would they want to come? It would be the same situation as Dybala.
Agree with many above, I am fine with no Dybala if he does not want come. It was worth looking into it for sure.
Not having signed a couple new midfielders for this season is so fecking dumb, I cannot believe it.

The 2 situations are completely different. Paying a very large fee for a player who desperately wants to play for us is completely different to giving in to massive wage and agent demands for a player being forced out of his club who, at best, is ambivalent about joining.
We've done the right thing in both situations.
