You're not getting Sanchez. Other clubs can offer much more financially than Liverpool.
Champions League though, unless it is ridiculous taxless Monaco-esque money then the very best players will choose champions league football.
I say this in relation to us potentially competing for his signature. I am sure a fair few clubs will sniff around him.
I don't think we will get Sanchez unless Suarez leaves. My point remains though, I would be disappointed if we didn't bring in a winger on top of Lallana.
I think we can better Juventus though in terms of wages though.
It'll be the papers who are linking us with these players, they have to write some transfer speculation.
You could put most club chairmen in that group.
Moyes ...Come on now, it's over. I had Spain to go quite far in this tournament too, like many others.
It'll be hard for people to what Moyes writes in a newspaper seriously now.
They were doomed from the moment he wrote that articleI thought he prefer a move to Juve or is that a rumour?
Why? They are very accurate.
Kiss of death that man !
Comes to united we have a shit season.
Everton have a wonderful season
Moyes statue outside anfield and their season goes tits up
He picks the safest bet on the world cup and they crash out in the groups.
Mata is a novelty signing?
I think he meant Fellaini.. No one acknowledges Woodward signed Mata around here..
Well, you're taking "novelty" in a negative sense - he was a player that we did not need in terms of the position. I would call it luxury, however, i see the sentiment behind "novelty".
As for Woodward, one decent signing out of plenty of mistakes last summer does not redeem him. By all means provide a balance to the argument but the guy has A LOT to prove.
Give him time to prove it then. For all we know he maybe working on deals behind closed doors and just spoon feeding the media outlets different stories, to try keep the actual deals private.
It's better to judge him when the transfer window has finished.
Well I kind of feel for Woodward. It's since turned out that Moyes veto'd most of the transfers we had lined up. See Herrera deal and Moyes value comments on it.
I dont like Woodward, however, you are correct that Moyes has to take a fair share of blame last summer too. As for Herrera - Moyes wanted him and Woodward screwed it. That simple.
Or Garay's interview.
Im judging him on what he has done so far. He's had 2 full windows and i would say failed spectacularly is putting it mildly.
Of course this summer hasnt even started and we will see what happens. One things for sure, where Moyes was happy to publically back Woodward, LVG will not.
Really? Why would he do so when he payed around the same money (well 3m less) for Fellaini? The only thing it comes to my mind is that eh said to Moyes to choose from one of them and Moyes chose Fellaini. The truth being spoken, that isn't a bad thing considering that it is a bit risk to pay 60m for 2 very unproven (in the top level) midfielders. I rate Herrera highly but there isn't any guarantee that it would have worked. Having another overpayed big signings would have send us in all kind of trouble.
Wrong.
"The stuff about Herrera, we made an offer for £23m and we were never going to go to the buy-out clause," Moyes told reporters.
"All the rubbish that was talked about that - with people going in, they were never working on behalf of us. Never at any time did we increase our offer."
"All the rubbish that was talked about that - with people going in, they were never working on behalf of us. Never at any time did we increase our offer."
Also
Moyes insisted yesterday the pursuit of Herrera ended because he simply considered the £30.5million fee too high, saying: ‘I really liked the player and still do. We were trying to do a deal but I just thought the buy-out figure was the wrong valuation.’
Yeah but, er, Woodward hired Moyes. So there.
Moyes in supporting new Chief Exec shocker. What was he going to do - blame him? No chance.
I think by now it's very clear that Moyes was the guilty party behind the shambles of last summer. It's not Woody who decided against Thiago, Garay, Strootman etc. So far my only critique of Woody is that he (or someone close to him) is a bit too media friendly.
Take it it's a sarcastic post?
If not, we all know he didn't hire him nor did he fire him. The board decides that.
Wherever the blame lies, the right decision was made. Herrera would never have single handedly saved our season and his release clause was only £6.5m short of Mata's price. I know who I would rather have had.
Huh? Really. The same happened with Thiago (Moyes veto'd that). And other signings that were lined up under Sir Alex. He was also the one who delayed the Fellaini transfer until the last second thus costing us missing the release clause simply because he wanted both Baines and Fellaini. Fact is, if rumours are to believed, we were in advanced talks for several players which Moyes identified for this window but he got fired and now van Gaal has his own targets meaning Woodward starts from scratch again. I'll judge Woodward at the end of this window.
Your statement that that Woody is at fault is equally baseless IMO. Woody was ready to splurge big last summer.
Who? Mata? They don't even play the same position
We will have to agree to disagree mate. As for us spending big, i will believe it when i see it.
Yep, even at my age I am aware of that. I used Mata as a value comparison.
Despite me happy to miss out on Herrera, Woody does not fill me with confidence.
Fair enough. I see the point you're making though. I just feel that the Woodward criticism comes from some of us still under the after effects of the Moyes debacle.
That's how I feel. I'm giving Woody until end of this window as I'm sure van Gaal was crystal clear on his targets. De Telegraaf reported several meetings we had with him and how he relayed the plans and transfer targets. Let's see how it pans out. Early days yet.
We shall see. I reckon he will be blaming the WC next season as opposed taking responsibility.
