We still won the league and reached the Cl final next year no?

Lost the league to Chelsea by a point and got knocked out of Champs League by Van Gaal's Bayern in the quarter when Robben scored that wonder goal and Rafael was sent off. Won the league and got to the final of CL the year after that.

But yeah you're right.. What we lost was brilliant counter attacking play rather than actual points on the board. We put Rooney down the middle, gave Berbatov games and put Valencia on the wing in a functional but rigid 4-4-2.
 
You could be right...

Mata: £37 million
Shaw: £27 million
Herrera: £30 million
Rojo: £16 million

£110 million.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Glazers said "That's your lot this year."
Wonder what shit Woodward will come out with next summer, to appease us and the sponsors. We won't get 4th with what we've got now.

If LvG thinks he has enough and we don't get 4th, then unfortunately Brenton will be right about him underestimating the strength of the PL.

Don't our board know that we'd rather these rumours were true to show we're actually trying to sign world class players, rather then focusing on average players and just flat out denying any interest in any top class player we are linked with? I'd rather we were after Reus and offered him big money, because it shows we're trying to fix the problems.
 
If Fletcher is our only "DM" until October, we could just give up on top4 right away. I'd love to get us a pacey proven winger like Di Maria, but we will score enough goals with Mata, RvP and Rooney. We need a DM next to Herrera badly.

We need a experienced CB as well.

They really don't understand about what fans want to hear. Bryan Robson was on Talksport earlier banging on about biggest club, most fans stuff. It's like they are all brainwashed to say it. Ed and his interview that we would pay the money for the right players, now we know the right players are not the best players. They are still looking at sell on value.
 

Not sure if this is known or just rumoured. He's BBC anyway so if it wasn't confirmed, is now.

It is up to LVG to identify the players he wants not the board.

imo if reus and muller really said those things about an offer from us while they re still under contract with their respective clubs, it means that neither of them is interested in joining us.
 
If we don't get 4th. It won't matter to us.
Very true. I'd imagine most of the major clubs would be interested, so he'll have a difficult choice to make. Although saying that, Barca's transfer ban will exclude them from the running.
