This is going to drag on isn't it? I thought with Woodward gone things might have changed
How is this dragging? Would you say Tchouamei to Madrid is dragging too? Just be patient. We always claim other teams are more proficient than we are which isnt true, its just that we obsess and spend every minute refreshing through tweet after tweet and think we are dithering when its the same for others.This is going to drag on isn't it?

The transfer window has only just opened today...This is going to drag on isn't it? I thought with Woodward gone things might have changed
Today is the first day of the transfer window - give the guys a chance ffs.This is going to drag on isn't it? I thought with Woodward gone things might have changed
Manchester United have offered Barcelona for De Jong less than 80 million [Euros] for the player: 60 [million Euros] fixed and between 10 [million Euros] and 12 [million Euros] in variables. At FCB they consider it more than insufficient and set the price at a minimum of 100 [million Euros] between fixed and variable...

The key part (not reported anywhere else):
It seems like the €100m demand is just a way to prevent any low-ball offers, but that didn't stop United from starting low.
Contrary to popular belief, our team responsible for negotiating transfers is quiet good. We haven't overpaid for players in quiet a while.I’m actually surprised we’ve pulled or are pulling this off. Same as Varane and Sancho last year. If we can get a striker RW and right full back of similar potential quality I think we will be formidable again. Maybe even Rashford will get his head out of his ass and save us a few quid! Stranger things have happened.
We initially offered €60m + 10-12 million in bonuses according to Moises Llorens, which is less than the £65m that they paid and much less than the €100m that they've demanded. If we feel that Barcelona want to just recoup their payment, then our first offer's a good starting point.If they’d accept around £65m and we’ve offered basically that including add ons, how have we started low? Look at what Bayern are offering for Mane.
Well its been going on since the 1st June so in my eyes yes its dragging onHow is this dragging? Would you say Tchouamei to Madrid is dragging too? Just be patient. We always claim other teams are more proficient than we are which isnt true, its just that we obsess and spend every minute refreshing through tweet after tweet and think we are dithering when its the same for others.
Yes but you can still agree on deals beforehand like countless other teams have with players FFS, never used FFS before but I feel like a teenager nowToday is the first day of the transfer window - give the guys a chance ffs.
Apparently, Manchester United are in talks with Asensio's camp.
He's been pretty good for Sky Sport Italy from what I've seen. This isn't something he'd typically report on, though, so let's see where this goes.Reliable?
Asensio's been meh for a long time. He looks like a player who peaked early
Please give this guy a chance should we sign him. He might not be an all action McT Fred but he’s fecking class. I really can’t be assed reading posters agenda on this guy for the next five years.He hasn’t really been a good signing for Barca for £65 million though has he? Classy player that never really fit in or really stamped his authority on the league

We just need...is a ridiculous starting point and one that will lead to years of blaming one more player just because they don’t fall into the profile of player you so clearly enjoy (Fred) while DeJong is on another planet. He alone though won’t fix Manchester United.The irony clearly isn’t lost on you. I think FDJ will be a much more suitable player for the PL, fingers crossed anyway. We just need someone to run the midfield intelligently and to stay switched on in the defensive phase.

Sorry I’ve not mentioned anyone ? I’ve just stated that no individual player will fix Manchester United and that based on your initial post I really can’t be arsed reading posts for the next five years of agenda because he doesn’t run about like a maniac. The rest of your rant is what I personally can’t be arsed with. Perhaps others will differ. There’s nothing to say Im Right.Is the whole point of recruitment no? I can’t believe you’re in the FDJ thread still banging on about Pogba. You’re obsessed! Everyone else can see Pogba pretty much failed because he didn’t work hard enough on the pitch and he didn’t modify his game to suit the team or the league. Let’s hope FDJ is able to do the nuts and bolts a lot more consistently than Pogba could. I think he will be able to. If he’s able to give consistent 7/10 performances and get the team going that would be better than Pogba playing some 4/10 games and not looking arsed and some 8/10 games being the best player on the pitch. it was far too unpredictable. Actually by the end it was predictably bad.
Id be running up that roadI’m actually surprised we’ve pulled or are pulling this off. Same as Varane and Sancho last year. If we can get a striker RW and right full back of similar potential quality I think we will be formidable again. Maybe even Rashford will get his head out of his ass and save us a few quid!

dude.....This is going to drag on isn't it? I thought with Woodward gone things might have changed
I’m expecting a Nemanja Matic’s goodbye message after Mata’s. Both classy guys and players on and off the pitch
If they’d accept around £65m and we’ve offered basically that including add ons, how have we started low? Look at what Bayern are offering for Mane.
Barca will be hard to deal with.This is going to drag on isn't it? I thought with Woodward gone things might have changed
