Let's see if he's capable of shitting on Fabregas before we get too excited.
If, and it's a big if at this point, we make those two additions, then I agree.
At the moment, we're relying on two average wingers to provide back up to the perennially injured Rafael, there's no back-up to Shaw, we only have three injury prone senior CBs, and if one of Herrera or Fletcher (who there must still be doubts over) get injured, we can look forward to Cleverley, Anderson or Bogbrush.
It's absolutely astonishing that we're in this position with a week to go until the season begins.
The optimist's view is that we're not briefing, hence no transfer reports in the press. Irrespective, there's less than a week to go until the new season and there are gaping holes in the squad. It's been yet another poor window - it was abundantly clear from the start where the problems lay, yet we've wasted a month. Chelsea have schooled us when it comes to getting their business done this summer.
Wenger didn't want to sell to us, so no point worrying about it.They wanted to sign hime within days they got their target, Not much fuss. The rest of my post you can imagine, a moan about our transfer dealings
2-3 transfers is an absolute must. Like people said before me, any injuries in that midfield to either Herrera or Carrick/Fletcher and we're fecked. The centre-back situation is even worse with 2 key figures after leaving this club. Fair enough, Blackett looks promising but surely we'd want to have an established, experienced player in there?
Not really.
The concern seems to stem from the fact that we've signed one midfielder to improve us and one full back who is unlikely to be an immediate upgrade on Evra as he's still learning the game. We might end up doing much better than Last season based on the fact it was a false position and because LVG is a very good manager but as things stand we've not had much of a summer in terms of doing the work the squad needs. Still time, though.
Any team would struggle with that many injuries together tbh and that too in concentrated areas together.
We need 2 to 4 players depending on availability, especially a CB and then a CM but squad is shite and all is overstating it to a large degree.
I'm very calm about our transfers. Much more than last season.
It stems from knowing we have the right man in charge. He knows what he's doing. If he thinks the squad is good enough then its good enough. I think he wanted to give all the players a month to prove themselves and he's done that and I think we'll see more movement now.

There's not alot of tweets in this thread anymore. Either @Adnan has died or people are just writing too much to gazump the tweets.
I'll give him a bell and let him know. Hopefully it'll be sorted out.
Agree his only poor performance was against Brazil.
Well he's not a midfield general in a month of Sundays.
Goalkeepers: Norberto Neto, Ciprian Tatarusanu, Luca Lezzerini
Defenders: Manuel Pasqual, Marcos Alonso, Ahmed Hegazi, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Stefan Savic, Facundo Roncaglia, Nenad Tomovic, Gianluca Mancini, Cristiano Piccini
Midfielders: Juan Cuadrado, Borja Valero, Joshua Brillante, Alberto Aquilani, David Pizarro, Lazzari, Matias Vecino, Juan Vargas, Rafal Wolski
Strikers: Giuseppe Rossi, Mario Gomez, Khouma Babàcar, Josip Ilicic, Iakovenko, Joaquin
Looks pretty clear he is to me.
Coutinho never actually uses the words midfield general. I do think he'll be a central midfielder for us though and he has shown that he's more than capable of excelling in that role.
If so, he's going to be another Gerrard: someone who needs a babysitter or two alongside him. Don't see why you wouldn't play him higher up the pitch.
He was at his best in a midfield three last season playing next to Henderson.
They got 'im.
Sounds like Ol Sergi fell for a parody account - numpty!
Think I'll have to look into Forster as a fantasy football signing... Could prove to be a great addition for Southampton and my fantasy team
Says a lot about Scottish football that he would rather play here for a team that's favourite to go down than Celtic. Still good signing for soton
Why are we making a big deal out of Schweinsteger asking for Scholesy's jersey at HT?
If only the Star had a clue.
Daily Star.
Because we're scraping the bottom of the barrel..
DailyStar, The Sun, Express, Metro are all pointless. Ignore anything United related from those sources.
Then why would you post it? You know they don't have a clue. Its like posting an article from caught offside.
More or less. I'd add Caught Offside to this too although Neil Custis of Sun has got decent sources.
We'd be better off refreshing the united website rather than Twitter at this rate...either nothing is going on or Woody is somehow keeping things very quiet. I don't understand the delay if we are intending on buying players.
Who's making a big deal out of it?
Here are all the responses to that tweet. What a stupid thing to post.
.
What's Nasri yapping about?
Easy for you to say. Preparing a bid, in reality, is a really hard, time consuming, and arduous process that needs at least a few months, apparently
And goal.
Because I'm bored.
Would you prefer some TalkSport nonsense instead? Here's some:
“And it seems the player’s agent, according to these reports, is indeed in Manchester as we speak.”
Di Marzio has said, he's in Italy, I know who'd I probably think was true in that case.
Seriously, I would vote to have the following added to the banned list: Star, Express, and Metro, Talk Sport, Goal and CaughtOffSide (don't think anyone has ever posted one of their tweets/news stories in here though.
