We did do the the favor of buying Lukaku for a billion dollars

More like blacklisting a dice because it keeps giving you a 9 I would have said.
I think he has identified players. Longstaff was clearly identified and there were probably one of two others we are not privy to.
The way we are structured seems to overly complicated transfer deals. We seem to string things along only to then jump into rash decisions that could have been avoided.
Guarin is an FM legend actually......in the 2003 edition. He's 33 and didn't live up to the hype even in his prime. One time we were interested in Ribery but now he's an old man.

No idea. We would rather continually give dead weight new contracts vs selling them on the cheap or letting them walk.
Also greedy agent(s).
we haven't signed him
Seen reports from Italy claiming a 28m fee has been agreed
If only the same thing happened like 2/3 days ago with another club to give Spurs a heads up...
Nice. Sell 26 yrs old prem proven striker. Get 33 year old Mandzukic. Only way is up fellas!
True, it is obvious that he wants to stay at Juve.
Im so desperate for a shiny new striker or midfielder that I just want something to happen. Mandzukic or even his gran or dog walker would be great right now.
Just how much of a nightmare are Dybala's image rights?!
In those several years there has been multiple managers and lots of upheaval, no real period of progress for one reason of another.
We’ve essentially been restarting the rebuild process every other year and obviously it’s done is no favours. I don’t think you can just say it’s the Glazers or Woodward.
Sure Woodward has been in charge of overseeing it all and has appointed the managers but no one could have known that all of them would be a disaster.
the club is a mess and it is absolutely in their interest to see that it gets cleared up, this is something I think people are missing. These guys are businessmen, you don’t think they understand the financial potential that we have if we start performing on the field?
We need what Spurs need and more! We shouldn't be fighting for 4th place, we should buy what is required to bank 4th place with a view to progressing that
I don't mind him as back up and big personality in the dressing room
He's a good defensive striker, can score big goals and is flexible in his position
Miles better as a stop gap than some of the dross we have been linked to in last couple of days
He would not cower leading the line at Anfield
€40m
That doesn’t really correlate with our summer business though, we’ve made 3 seemingly very well thought out and sensible signings.
It's a positive, but not the business that will push us on another level. Still holding out hope of a midfielder to miraculously arrive before the deadline.
Lukaku is an absolute abysmal footballer, technically. A good goalscorer but does not suit the way Ole wants to play. Mandzukic is a good option to have. Great hold up, great touch, very intelligent - all things that Lukaku didn't have.
For the highs of Maguire and AWB, this window has been a big disappointment.
Less than 5 hours. Absolutely no chance.
Agreed. Lukaku barely played under Ole so it's reasonable to expect that Mandzukic won't play much either, only difference is that Mandzukic might actually be effective for us.
Still doesn't excuse how shit our midfield is though.
Sorry, but Miguel Delaney and his impeccable sources at Juve and Spurs have told us the deal is still on.
Don't even get me started
Just praying that Pogba and McSauce always play and maybe Fred can improve, if not then Lingard / Mata depending on the opposition
I don't really understand this interest.
Is he a prolific scorer? (Not really)
Is he Zlatan MkII? (Not really)
Has he got 2 legs and able to run around? Yup!
I'll hold out hope till it closes. Only a few more hours to have to hope for.
Just sign Mandžukić ffs!
Mandzukic is a very lethal striker that would be a great asset comming of the bench. This is obviously not a signing for our starting lineup, but it will be a great squad option to have and the young guys can learn from him. Lukaku was never going to accept a backup role instead of first 11.
Stop it, we're already dead.
We’re done. Sooner the season starts the better.
Well we clearly want a backup striker. He's a cheap option who offers something different to Rashford/Martial. He's not exactly going to be starting every game for us, so being prolific isn't a concern. Just as long as he can offer something different in games where we might need to change our tactics. Lukaku, outside of a few games, was utterly hopeless so in my eyes it's an improvement.
Wanyama,Drinkwater, Bakoyoko all are available on loan at least. If we don't have a plan in place, just get some backup bodies on loan . As things stand, we are too light .
'United unlikely to sign anyone before deadline'
Its over lads. Nothing is changing in less than 5 hours.
