We're signing Neymar
Children. Demanding children. It's a generational thing if you ask me. We're talking about a type of fan who expects, demands in fact, a constant steam of gratification from big name transfers to success on the pitch. And a huge part of their need for this is purely bragging rights amongst friends and on social media hence this supposed "embarassment".
THat's true, I've seen a few posts with people complaining their mates are making fun of them or some guys on twitter..
This.
You're in denial. We obviously wanted him and have been in negotiations with him/them. How many other players has Van Gaal just "played along" with to the press? It would be unprofessional to talk about presenting another club's player to the press unless you were pretty certain of signing them.
I'm not, since I'm not denying any options, there is two possibilities not one.
Yep you're so right.
We want utd to sign big names so we can banter people on twitter, wanting to win titles, see our team compete and win at the highest level again has nothing to do with it. All for those 140 characters. You hit the nail on the head.
Man we missed out on pedro so it looks like I can't tweet jokes to the chelsea fans anymore, him potentially making us a better team and solving an issue within our squad has nothing to do with it.
He did. There was a interview before the one last week where he named Pedro.
Was he?
Jesus fecking Christ, we couldn't manage to get Pedro - let's fecking move on! The forum was full of drama queens yesterday, over-analysing every single thing and calling Woody an idiot and our transfer window embarrassing despite us signing 5 players who've all performed very well since the start of the season.
We don't know what happened behind the scenes. Maybe the little fecker rejected us - it happens, or maybe Van Gaal changed his mind in the last minute - it happens as well. Maybe Woody couldn't agree a deal with Barcelona because we didn't think Pedro was worth the money? It may be surprising to many people on here, but the club must have had a good reason.
Pedro would have been a good transfer (probably), but people are acting as if we've fecked up the Ronaldinho transfer again. Get a fecking grip, I'm sure we'll sign somebody else and even if it's Sadio Mane, I'm sure Van Gaal knows what he's doing. Mane is not the glamour signing everyone wants, but it seems like the club can't really win here. Sign Di Maria - ''FFS we've lost our identity''. Sign Mane - ''from Di Maria to Mane ffs, what are we doing?!''
I think the transfer window shouldn't be this long. Maybe they could extend it in the summers of major international tournaments, but it really should end when the season starts.

You are so spot on with this, that it should have its own thread.
You are definitely right, it's all about how they look among their friends and e-friends.

OFFICIAL: City have confirmed the signing of Argentina defender Nicolas Otamendi (27) from Valencia. #Otamenday
So that's Mangala relegated to the bench and Denayer coming back pointless. Can see at least one of them leaving.
Meltdown in 3..2..1
Why is being disappointed in a rival signing a very good player who'd improve us considered a meltdown?
No, if we didn't want him, we haven't missed out.
The manager's press conference tomorrow might get a bit feisty. Can't wait.
It is when the posts become beyond ridiculous.
Difference of opinions, I think he'd have improved us and is instead going to improve City's team.
I really don't know.
Otamendi is there as a Mangala face saver, this doesn't bother me.
Pedro to Chelsea is a shocker though.

What @Sassy Colin is saying, is that if you never intended to take a train, you can't have missed it.
I agree with you completely. What you said though, is that we missed out if we wanted him or not. If we didn't want him, we haven't missed out on anything.
Hardly. Good player but hardly a game changer.
Don't think LVG particularly interested in Otamendi at all. Not his type of player.
was thinking about this yesterday.
All that and heavily reduced wage bill and we look a much better side.
Great job by Woodie and Van Gaal.
One of the theories about Pedro fiasco was that LVG wanted Pedro to press Barcelona to lower the price.
It seems that Bastian did exactly that.
So the story looks credible.
I'm looking forward to transfer deadline day. We are still in for some players so only going to be a benefit as the squad looks good anyway.
Not bothererd about Ottamendi, Pedro is the annoying one!
Suck it, Liverpool!
I like that, we improved the team drastically and spent very little. It kind of balances last season spending spree.
The attack is lacking
United spend a lot of time flirting with players they're not interested in, don't they?
