Good, this should mean that De Gea is here for this season.
We will see
4 more years! 4 more years!
I think we need a CB & striker but the real problem is that there is a lack of world class centre-backs and strikers. Who really is there? I can't think of any really that are realistic. That's the big issue for me.
There's too much gambling with other players and I think that's more the case than LVG not wanting to sign a striker or centre-back.

a De Gea lacking focus albeit if you listen to our manager
Ramos doing the obvious.
Who will be next seasons silly transfer saga? Muller is my bet.

there's a need for a top striker so I think you could be right
next summer could be Muller, Benzema, Lewandowski or the next big thing up front
With otamendi seemingly heading to city there aren't any good CB's available anyway.
We should at least be able to claim commission for these type of things.
So he was the only target? what happened to having options? and did anyone think that we would get him in our transfer team? This looked like a non-starter from the beginning..a La decima hero , who has been at the club for 10 years, the next captain, Spanish leaving the club because of a contract dispute with the presidential elections just 2 years away?
I think there was genuine interest from both parties, we would've liked him but the goal was realistically to get Madrid to either make a season offer for DDG or piss off, which has worked. Ramos would have had no objections in joining United if Madrid were receptive to the idea of selling him.
Once september 1st arrives, De Gea not playing becomes more detrimental to his career then it does united. Especially considering euros are right around the corner. Although I wouldn't be surprised if sep 1st arrived and romero is still inbetween the sticks. Bossman can be very pragmatic as we know.
Hummels was the first target, Ramos was seemingly the second.
Its just me, but I dont believe in this only signing world class defender thing,especialy with the history of injuries that our defense has..Just like Darmian, I believe that defensive gems or very good defenders can be found ..Look at Bayern signing Douglas Costa, not world class and seemingly not one of the biggest names, but he has been one of their best signings..chasing unobtainable targets may not be the best idea.
You're point is a good one generally, but when you look at our squad at the CB options...all of them of them are of a similar profile - either a decent to good player, or a player with good talent. I'm completely with the club's decision to now look at adding that one top quality defender there, instead of another player of the same profile as ones currently in the squad.
I'd agree with this, there are plenty of better options out there who could add to our team, only going for the obvious world class talents suggests that scouting isn't really working all that well. I do worry though that we're having to reign in our spending after last season. Everyone expected us to spend big but perhaps we sold so many wage-heavy players and made back some money from di Maria because the big spending experiment didn't work. It would explain why we're not in for Otamendi etc and why we're so keen to bring down the price of Pedro who is already a bargain (as well as why we're sticking with Rooney, converting Blind etc).
Ramos won't be at Madrid till 2020 
I really think that Smalling barring injury will be class..but the other ones, not really..I like Phil and have defended him a lot, but seeing him in preseason and last season, its just seems like something is missing with him(No, not a brain)...and the injury crisises we face each season scare me..especially with so much more games this season..I really do think we can get a defender that can be good from day 1..and not necessarily the FM wonderkids, Darmian wasnt as touted before he got here, there has to be someone like that..this scouts need to earn their money.
£15 million bid for berahino is laughable. I hope West Brom bleed Daniel Levy dry for this one
Cant stand Levy and everything he does, twat
Yes, I have never been convinced that spending huge money is the only way to go either..we have been very good historically at this club at buying players that are on the verge of stardom..good players that get even better with a better team like United..I think we are trying to not overspend for anyone, and I agree with that..it sets bad precedent for any future purchases..
We'll take him in three years timeRamos won't be at Madrid till 2020
Well, there seems to be a difference in player assessment between you and the club. Anyways, I wouldn't blame the scouts either as all the noises from the club are pointing towards our intention to only buy a top level ball playing defender. Can't fault the scouts as they aren't making that decision.
I tend to agree with this, however I do feel there are players out there who are not regarded as world class, but would be an upgrade on Jones AND esp Blind.
Perhaps there is a reason for that..but it just feels like chasing unobtainable targets will just leave us running around..I think we can rebuild this team, even though that might take more time ..and perhaps the board may be more worried about that...But still two weeks left..lets see what happens
Fair points and hard to argue against. But again, getting someone of that level of quality would again mean at least a few weeks more of experimentation and instability in the back 4. Generally, you would want as few disruptions there as possible. And we're already integrating a few new players in other areas of the pitch. I think the club have rightly prioritized the transfer strategy for CB area.
So whom are you referring to?
We've had all summer to do it, and tbh CB should have been one of the priorities of the summer and a new CB should have been signed for the tour.
We have zero excuses, we could have done it but chose to chase the dream of Ramos instead. Time will tell if that comes back to bite us in the ass.
Maybe Blind will actually suprise us all and we end up having the best defence around, sure is looking like Chelsea will struggle at the back this season anyway
We might help in getting Mendes sacked from a client? Worth losing him on a free just for that!
For a LCB I think Laporte would be a good signing tbh. Also I think Abdennour is also a good player. Marquinhos at PSG.
I'm sure there are others, tbh Fabian Shah I think would have been a decent signing too especially on a free transfer, at least as a replacement for Evans who we should move on.
EDIT: Saying all of that though Blind is doing well and McNair actually looks like a good talent.
If true then his family is fecking stupid or just used to getting their own way. If they want de gea in madrid so badly then just wait for a year and he'll walk in the club through the doors as a free agent, nothing utd can do to stop him.
The only loser is Mendes who doesn't get a fat % of the transfer fee because there won't be one.
Not sure why he isn't being considered, beast of a forward, pacey and very tricky in the box.
We should be looking at Garay, especially with the new 6 foreigner per squad limit in Russia...
