Basically since LVG has joined the media know nothing about what's going on.

If that means schweinsteiger signs out of no where then that's great, if not it's even more frustrating than knowing what is going on
 
They was already setup so they are obvious. The big clear out and these big transfers that were promised won't happen IMO

They were so obvious that no one knew about Herrera transfer and Shaw was supposed to snub us for Chelsea or cost 40m.

The press know nothing, they are totally clueless.
 
I see why we'd sell him with the rise of Wilson
That was my first thought, but they're both so young that when they mature Rooney and rvp won't first choice strikers and may not even in contention or at the club. Maybe LVG doesn't see him as that talented.
 
FFS who saw this coming? just when we had all players accounted for and could tell something was up, Vidals agent at the Community Shield and wow the sucker punch, hes secured his client a loan....nice....wonder what little bonus he got for that.

Which big transfers were promised? Surely you're not referring to Woodward saying that IF the manager wants a player we will sign that player whether that's for 5m or 80m? Also whilst those were setup they are still transfers making your statement that we will sign nobody null and void.
 
Yes it does, it's essentially a one-time release clause. Of course, he doesn't have to accept their contracts if he wants to stay, but if they cough up the money then we're powerless.

Doesn't 'with an option to buy' mean that if he does well for them on loan then they can choose to buy him? Otherwise he's returned to us?

Well it kind of does if they activate the clause and he agrees to the move considering that's the point of the loan-to-buy option.
I suppose it all comes down to what's written in the contract, I'd be surprised if a fee was agreed before hand.

He was leaking stuff to the press all season saying we had loads to spend. He knew Moyes might not be the manager over the summer so he should've kept that to himself. Then again he comes out with all the watch this space bollocks. Whatever stick regarding transfers Woodward gets is deserved IMO. He gets the credit for the commercial deals so why shouldn't he get stick for mouthing off when he hasn't got anything to back it up?

No, a fee will have legally been agreed beforehand. That's the point of a loan-to-buy. They'll have until say June 30th to sign him for the agreed amount, and if they bid X amount there's nothing the club can do. After the agreed date then United are under no legal obligation to accept any bid from them.
