Weren't Southampton interested in Buttner as well just before we signed him?
Must be a sign
 
So, first everyone is annoyed that we don't sign anyone, now that we are linked with a very good player, he is too expensive? The Glazers just took 205m$ out of the club and some guys worry that United might overspent 5-10m€? If LvG wants him, just buy him. I wanted Sanchez as the wide player but Cuadrado is perfect if we want to switch between 3-5-2 and 4-3-3. Yes, overpriced but it's time for the Glazers/Woodward to back up their words.

They didn't take money 'out' of the club. The share sale has nothing to do with transfer expenditure.
 
Why post such silly nonsense? I agree that we shouldn't sign him, but how on earth is 6ft not an ideal height for a centre back? In any league that's a decent height.

Firstly he's 5ft 10, so why are you posting "silly nonsense" that he's 6ft? I' suggest you look away from Wiki, which anyone can update, and look at some more accurate sites.
He's well known to be fairly short for a centre back, and you can see it with your own eyes!
 
Vermaelen has one of the best leaps I've seen. He has many glaring weaknesses but his height isn't one.

He's 182cm, which is 5.97112861 feet tall. Otherwise known as 6 ft tall. Maybe his own mouth is less reliable than your "accurate sites", but I doubt it.
 
I haven't paid attention to this Blind business, because I didn't think he'd be really linked with us.

Still, how much is he being rumoured to cost? Last time I heard (which was probably a good few weeks ago) he was rumoured to go to Barca for £20million-ish.
 
Wasn't it reported Roma wanted at least 40M for Benatia.
 
I really hope there's truth to the Di Maria rumours...
So do I, even though he's not exactly what we need at the moment. He will instantly put the fear back into playing Manchester United.
So next week then, is next going to be the week it finally hots up for us?
 
Hopefully Milan sign him, I will break something if we end up with Alex fecking Song!

Considering how much emphasis this club has always put on personality when assessing potential targets and Van Gaal seeming to have the same ethos, I'd say we are safe enough.

We've been saying that a while, one can only hope...
I don't expect the starting line up vs Swansea to be much different from that against Liverpool though tbh, doesn't really matter who we sign, they haven't trained with the system.

Call me crazy but I'm actually quite happy with what we have to take into the first 6 games. So I think we can comfortably use the whole of this window and still have time to encorporate the new signings in at a natural pace.

Agreed, I won't expect any signings to be made next week but just some maybe some bids or something credible.
