So a shit load of money to buy a couple of world class forwards?
Oh that's right, there's no time left.

I wouldnt be surprised if we didnt get a replacement this window.. see how it goes with Romero.
You don't really expect us to replace him for peanuts? We will spend a lot, unless we are after one of the german goalkeepers or Cillessen.
And there is plenty of time left, if we stay away from Bilbao.
We'll end up with Cillessen
I think you're missing the point. By spending that much money in the first place the club identified we needed a player of that calibre to progress, the fact he didn't work out just means we now need a different player of the top calibre to progress.
I'm suprised to see so may proclaiming a higher fee as excellent news. We're not a midtable club we don't need the money to progress it's about quality players and we're losing one. The club has learnt the lesson of what it means to have a brilliant trusted keeper in between the posts.
Or there could be something in the Leno and Oblak early rumors.
I hope so, I saw somewhere a 4 year deal was agreed with the player.... I really hope we pay Leno's clause instead. We shall see.
Sorry I just can't get worked up about losing ADM. We didn't have him or a galactico, if you like, before and he didn't make the slightest bit of difference last season so I can't cry about it. Depay is more like the signings we've had down the years and I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if he makes more of an impact.
In terms of progressing, we were doing pretty fine in general (obviously Moyes rather than players were the problem before), so don't agree we needed one like him to progress. Woodward wants one because he is clearly obsessed with landing a big name on his watch regardless of whether they are needed but that's another argument.
Not fussed about DDG either. He's going. Doesn't want to be here so let's make the best of a bad situation and get as much money as possible. It's not really about needing the money. We /LVG messed up which is why we're in this situation but it's about making a stand and getting Madrid to pay up. £29m is paying up.
We need to replace him, doesn't have to be with a galactico, but he definitely needs replacing.
According to transfermarkt with the updated Schweinsteiger figures it stands at £6.46m, we'll see what it is come the end of the transfer window.
Either way respect to Louis van Gaal, he finished fourth last year and he has spent considerably less than his rivals, I also think Mourinho's comment that we are buying the league was unfair and also Wenger's that we have moved away from our use of youth, it seems LvG wanted a world class player but when it became apparent that wasn't happening he chose to invest match time in the potential we have instead of spending on a short term solution (according to him he could have had Pedro if he wanted him).
Leno would be great. I'd be ok with Oblak too.
Yup. Even if de gea stays, there is no way van Gaal is dropping Romero till he fecks up enough. Was praising him recently too saying he's done well.
For me Oblak would be great and I'd be ok with Leno, but I doubt we can sign one of them unless Leverkusen or Atletico are already aware of it.
Yep.
If that's the war you want us to win then it was never even going to be one and the club always knew that, for the simple reason that were talking about English and Spanish clubs and two Spanish players.
And I have no idea why you've put bale there. Might as well criticise us for not signing Neymar as well.
So they are quoting English sources..Looks like the Independent are making up stuff , like the time they said we had ended our interest in Schneiderlin and then signed him less than 24 hrs later.
Memphis wasnt brought to replace him, he was in addition. And if anyone thinks we only need one winger who can score and assist goals regularly in the whole team, then they are lost
We need someone else, Memphis can't be our only difference maker.
A few more shekels in the bank, a great goalkeeper lost.
The sadness is that its going to cost us more to buy an inferior keeper.
Some fans are prepared to go into the season with risks/doubts.
Selling DDG is fine when we don't have a like for like keeper as a replacement, but it's 29m.
not replacing RVP and Di maria is fine because they were pants (which is partially true but doesn't justify them not being replaced with better alternatives)
We don't need a No.9 IF rooney finds form
Yes it's been a good window but there is a real danger of MUFC solving one problem and creating another this year.
I'd be happy with that to be fair, with a tighter midfield and a protected defence, the form and class of our keeper 'hopefully' won't be called upon as it has the last couple of seasons
That's true. With protected defense and defense and midfield working together defensively Romero won't have so much to do and if he will have he'll react as vs Brugge.
This, although a fully fit United XI could beat anyone in their day we are an injury away from 'oh feck' again. We can't rely on Rooney, we just can't
I don't mind going into the season as we are, if so then so be it. However people will need to understand that this current squad as it is will really struggle to win the title.
Like @JPRouve said, we can't rely on one player being our only difference maker IMO and on top of that we will also have the UCL to deal with too.
INCOMING !!
But who's it going to be?
But who's it going to be?
Its not even about injuries only. Memphis can have an off day, someone else needs to be able to step up and create.
Chelsea - If Hazard doesn't produce then Pedro can etc
City - If Silva doesn't they have Sterling and now DeBruyne etc
'On the wings it's Nani and Di Maria out and Depay in. He looks amazing but ADM, despite one very bad season, is still considered a world-class player.'
Ok, discussion is heading away from main point which was above.
I disagree that we are weaker than last season based on the above changes.
ADM did next to nothing and Nani wasn't here.
We maybe the same but we are not weaker.

Who says he wasn't brought to replace him? I don't know one way or the other but given ADMs unhappiness was well known can you say that as fact?
Top assists and top chance creator is not next to nothing, even though he was a shower of shite second half of the season.
The fact the manager has said he needs to replace ADM?
Yeah much better keeping an unhappy player, who isn't in the right frame of mind to play. Keep him in the stands for the season as it'd be silly to get £29 million for him & buy a replacement who can be our long term keeper.
Also how do you know we're going for Cilessen?
-£29 million value
I love DDG I really do and I'm gutted he's leaving but the only reason he's in the 'world class' category is because he was called upon so much by the lack of protection by his defence in front of him. The amount of shots and chances the opposition had over the last 2 seasons was ridiculous,That's true. With protected defense and defense and midfield working together defensively Romero won't have so much to do and if he will have he'll react as vs Brugge.
No one said that we were weaker, at the moment we are as good as when Di Maria was useful and that's not enough, we need to strengthen our offensive line.
Yeah but can we get anyone this late in the window. I don't know if we're in for Cilessen.Yeah much better keeping an unhappy player, who isn't in the right frame of mind to play.

The pointed out on the Sunday Supplement that incoming players to Spain have to be signed by Monday night not Tuesday so De Gea has to be signed in the next day if that's going to happen.
I know we need to strengthen offensive line.
Just saying losing ADM is not really the problem. We have no strikers and Mata is not the best right winger. They are the problems.
