I can just imagine they have locked their office door and ETH is banging on the door screaming 'What the feck are you doing in there'?
Did you not watch the Brighton game?Who the heck is Caicedo?
Someone we should have signed 18 months ago. Will now cost a fortune.Who the heck is Caicedo?

It seemed certain we had him. What was the problem or was it just us messing up back then?Someone we should have signed 18 months ago. Will now cost a fortune.
There was trouble with multiple agents/agencies involved, which made United and Milan walk away. Brighton already had a business connection with one of the agents so didn't see any problem, I thinkIt seemed certain we had him. What was the problem or was it just us messing up back then?
Right. Thanks for that.There was trouble with multiple agents/agencies involved, which made United and Milan walk away. Brighton already had a business connection with one of the agents so didn't see any problem, I think
The optimism was mostly coming from the less reliable Ecuadorian media. We were in talks with Caicedo, but the complexities of the deal (multiple intermediaries, each with their own agendas) + risk of the demands becoming unreasonable due to said intermediaries resulted in United no longer pursuing Caicedo. If United took the risk and decided to pay more than what was initially being suggested, then they may have landed the player.It seemed certain we had him.

Exclude the right back, and that list is basically spot on.So we're looking at couple of midfielders, a forward, a striker, a RB and a backup goalie. So 6 players.
I think we will get 1, maybe 2 more signings at best. What a joke of a situation. Feck Murtough, fire that clown.

The Ecuadorian midfielder that Valencia recommended we sign, would have cost about 5 million pound at the time.
God I hope this is true.I believe we are experiencing the end of the Glazers right here. This is embarrassing on a global level and people who don't support Utd are finally seeing what we've said for years.
Let's hope so.I believe we are experiencing the end of the Glazers right here. This is embarrassing on a global level and people who don't support Utd are finally seeing what we've said for years.

EDIT: hellhunter answered the question already
The rumours are mostly weak. There's been no mention of United working to bring Dest in or even being that interested in him, more so that Barcelona are hoping for United to come in and go for him (as alluded to by the reliable Edu Polo). If we were indeed interested, then we'd see something from one of the more reliable English journalists.Well there are rumours we are looking at a RB too, possibly Dest. But chances are we wont be able to offload AWB, so you're probably right.
This club will deserve every bit of the shit press, defeats, embarrassment etc that comes it’s way this season.
I have never been more disillusioned and disinterested in this club in my life time.
I’m at that stage where I could just skip this season altogether. Nothing about not getting shiny new toys or being knee jerk, it’s just because we truly are a depressing shit show.

Agreed. Let's get someone like Caceido (younger and up and coming), and let Ten Hag work his magic on him.Good news.
Rabiot becomes another player who doesn't want to join United because we aren't in the CL.
Funny and accurate.We need to stop shopping in the usual places. Need to go down a tier and find a solid DM from somewhere. Someone who won't treat the ball as if it's on fire and who has a strong mentality. Got to be players out there.
God I hope this is true.
Julian Laurens was on sky sports, they asked him what the perception of United was in France and he basically said agents/Directors of football were stunned at the ineptitude of a club like United.
At this point it almost feels like the Glazers are running the club into the ground but what would be the purpose? they’re just embarrassing themselves.
This is what I cannot understand, these guys are still successful businessman but how can you continue to make such basic mistakes repeatedly. Man City owners came in and put together a successful plan from day 1, Glazers are here after a decade and no lessons learnt.
