He can go on strike and chain himself to the United megastore doors - we will still not sign him. If we had the money he would have been here already.

No one is paying money for Donny and we fecked up by not accepting £30m for McTominay, no one is coming back in for him.

Just need Mainoo to get back soon so we can pin some hopes on his young and very inexperienced shoulders.

Time to start protesting Arnold and Murtough along with the Glazers.

Winter was no money ,no signings and summer has been curtailed by the De Gea situation of which we know little. After going in for Onana and Hojlund there is no money left as sales are minimal. So this is all ETH's fault ? get a grip.

We should not have paid that money for Mount and Hojlund is an unbelievable gamble too. Money that could have been better spent elsewhere.
 
Feels like we have to try to take advantage of the loan market at this stage.

The "Fergie Fledglings" and the "Class of 92", came through at a time when the first team was an absolute disaster (yes, even worse than our current team).

Sorry, what's this? We came 2nd in 91/92 and won the league the next year.

Disaster is a ludicrous description for that team.

People like Lee Martin, Mark Robins, Russell Beardsmore came in before the class of 92, and the team Fergie inherited from Ron Atkinson was really poor, hadn't won the league for decades, had alcohol problems, etc. The first batch of kids mentioned above were essentially replaced by the class of 92, so the class of 92 were replacing other academy graduates, who had replaced the disastrous team that he inherited. Bryan Robson was the only top quality player, with Gordon Strachan and Jesper Olsen. The rest were very mediocre.

Your point is correct, but class of 92 actually arrived at the start of the 95/96 season the previous season we lost the title on the final day of the season and the fa Cup final to Everton. But yes, hardly a disaster given we won the double in 93/94

Impressively dreadful end to the window this.

We like to out do ourselves each year, whether overspending, panicking, being skint, selling for peanuts, chasing players with zero interest in joining, holding onto crap etc. It’s that yearly circus that rolls into town and continues to be a bit shit despite initial excitement.

What usually follows is a disappointing season bar the odd one that gets seen as real progress before the inevitable regression the following season.

Won’t change until Glazers and their muppets all leave.

This dulls the disappointment of not being able to move players on if this is what the money was going to be used for, yet another play who wth knows from thr Dutch league who can't even hang in the Bundesliga

That’s not the case. He doesn’t crack the starting lineup of a top 5 team in Europe. That is something different.
 
We have never been good at moving players on, not for decent transfer fees atleast, but what has become apparent is that these players are unwilling to sacrifice their wages for football and happy to be reserves. I don't blame them, contractually that's what they are owed, but if anyone ever questions their motivation, that is laid bare with their reticence to move for footballing reasons.

Another contrary post for the sake of it. We need important upgrades, we're not a City or Real Madrid for example adding further diamonds to their already diamond studded crown. If you genuinely are happy to go into the new season with what we've currently got and think we can truly kick on properly from here, good for you.

It is funny that 3 or 4 weeks ago everyone was delighted we'd got our business done early and could focus on getting rid of the deadwood for the rest of the window. Now, a couple of poor performances later, we haven't got a clue what we're doing and the team is a shambles.

There's not a player we're linked to at the moment that gets us closer to the title, so we'd be spending to bring in a squad player basically at this point.

I do if it means Maguire leaves. His minor injury for the Spurs game coupled with this means there remains hope.

Evans is possibly one of the only players we could sign who's actually a downgrade on Maguire.

That's not my issue at all, bad or a slow start to the season happen all the time, I don't think it's actually been that horrendous, just a bit disappointing. You actually pointed out why most people are frustrated in the sentence before it, or at least why I am. We haven't shifted the deadwood, and we've known for weeks further upgrades to the team relied on that. It hasn't happened, it all looked very rosey when it seemed to be going our way, but its not exactly gone to plan, has it?

I agree with your last point, there's no noise to anything even remotely that impressive that would truly make a huge difference, and to me that's massively disappointing.
 
We were warned by pessimistic journalists of ESPN(Mark Ogden) and The Athletic that we will have problems with this summer transfer window and the budget is tiny.

We failed to sell players we ought to sell - Maguire, Henderson, McTominay, Van de Beek, Bailly, Williams...

Unfortunately, we're in for a disappointing season, especially if Glazers decide to stay. We bought an injured, young, unproven striker who still hasn't played for us and an underwhelming Mason Mount(who we probably didn't even need) who's also injury prone - missed a lot of time last season at Chelsea because of injuries.

Only saving grace of this transfer window for now looks to be Onana, big upgrade on De Gea.

Moung isnt injury prone and missed last season cause of one injury not multiple ones.

Many reckon Maguire 2 seasons ago was our worst centre back season in memory.
Evans in his last season definitely competes.

So to bring him back in about 7 or 8 years on seems utterly bizarre.
