Maybe. I don't have my crystal ball with me. But I doubt he dreamed of playing for Spurs as well, Spurs unlike us wanted to make a deal happen. We didn't.

Raffle winner. That's a new one.
The majority of London is a shithole anyway...obviously not the parts he'll be living in, but outside of that, it's fecking shite...
At least Chelsea isn't doing any deals.
I've gone for 2-2 and then a loss to Wolves.
Are we realists or pessimists? The Caf will decide.
I think we'll beat Chelsea. I think we have a better team than them.
Okay, a bit disrespectful, but feck me he is the most overpromoted big club manager I have seen
Come on. You know the answer to that.
Realists
We never give Chelsea a tonking even though they are currently there for the taking
Wolves bested us every time last season, have a better manager, raucous home crowd and a squad that is far better balanced
So then I don't understand your response? Woodward's brief was we didn't want to spend all that money on a player who doesn't really want to play for us. Which you seemingly both believe and don't believe at the same time.
Honestly can't believe how many of you are mad about signings, or the lack of whatever the number of signings you wished for.
We got what we needed.
One of the best right backs in the league.
One of the best centerbacks in the league.
A young prospect who just might come through as a right or left wing.
We'll probably see more of our youth players then in the last season.
We kept Pogba.
We're gonna sell what we don't need - aka Lukaku and Rojo.
We have 4 CF you know.
What's with all the doom and gloom?!
You'd think this is not a Utd supporting forum reading all the moaning.. feck, have some faith!

What would exactly a DoF solve in this deal? This is about financial negotiations, not identifying the players or whatever...
Ok I’m going back to work now and I’m not going to check this thread for a few hours because clearly nothing is happening and I’m not interested anymore!
Me again, any news yet?
The fact our midfield is pretty shite on paper is pretty worrying.
Yes it is. Especially for a club legend. But I can see a lot more of that in coming months sadly.
A good DOF does the financial negotiations, the CEO simply sets a budget and signs off exceptions
He would have joined us if we had paid the exorbitant fees they're demanding. He's being forced out by Juve against his will - which equates to signing a top earner with questionable motivation.
Matic is our first choice holding player
That undoes most of the good defensive building we have done
ssshhhh none of this crap here.... we're shit and we know it......Can't wait to fight relegation with Norwich.
We got what we needed at the back and that's it. Stop being a top red and feck up, been a bad window for a team that finished 6th.
Mass hysteria on redcafe = success..?
I thought it was clear for this year as well, since a long time. High press, starting from the forward players, counter pressing, construction from the back line to move the ball forward but when opportunities to move quickly up are identified, we move the ball quickly.
No we didn't. We lost 2 midfielders and didn't replace them. We lost one of our highest goalscorers over the past 2 seasons and didn't replace his goals.
Also Pogba doesn't want to be here, we saw how that worked out last season
We did half the job, we improved the defence, but weakened our midfield and attack.
Isn't deadline at 5? I can't see us do anything today. Such a waste of a window..
He's a playing legend and that has blinded sound decision making
It is a shocking appointment when viewed objectively and pushes us further down into the mire
Could have something to do with the fact that Woodward is an incompetent moron who was told he needed to pay £80m for Maguire in May and managed to negotiate the price all the way down to £80m in August. The contrast in the way the two clubs are run is night and day because Levy is actually good at his job and Woodward is a total idiot.
We have literally got no midfield though. You think Matic and co will protect the back four. Doesn't matter how good your back four is if it's consistently under siege.
too good to be true
Is it really?
We have Matic, Pogba, Fred, Mctominay, Andreas
Mata, Lingard, Gomes, Garner?
All Mctominay, Fred and Andreas will be better than last year, Gomes and Garner will suprise us and should be fine. A lot of you being so sensitive towards midfield, imo it's the depth to full backs which is a worry. If we sell Darmian somehow, Ashley Young will be only decent back up option there, in a 60+ game season.
Champions League finalists, Champions League football every season, London, better manager, better players, better stadium, better training facilities, better cheeseroom.
You just proved it is shite
I agree.
Realists it is then!
The season will be long for sure and then we have another summer window to look forward to whilst probably being an even less attractive proposition than we are now.
Hate this arrogance our fans have. Open your eyes to what’s happening in the now. Current players done give a shite about history. If we’re not careful we’ll be the English version of Milan. Spurs are by far more attractive to a foreign player approaching his prime.
What about the youngsters? if we buy we can simple sell or release Greenwood and gomes
As you point out, perhaps it need to be more than just financial negotiations. As evident by the current development.
You mean good midfielders...right?
Last season we didn't get dicked without ander and with a shit back 4 bar Everton, as I said lots of 0-0s rather than begin smashed.
I would be perfectly happy taking that just so he goes.
