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?

:lol: or maybe you've just read into his comments what you wanted to? If you actually listened to what Woodward said youd know that he said of course we will make record signings IF and ONLY IF its a player the manager wants. The prerequisite being the manager wanting a player. Van Gaal has never been known to want to sign players for the sake of signing players. He will target players that he feels will improve us and that's all Woodward has to ensure. Further van Gaal said he wanted to assess the squad which he has done now and he's now at the stage where he'd clearly know who we should target. Like he said end of August will be too late.

We've signed 4 players (2 in this window) for circa 120m in the space of a year with 3 weeks to go in this window. All of those signing were for 25m or more. So I'm not exactly sure why you're all worked up.

Another line we've heard year after year while the fact remains there's literally tons of players out there who would improve us
 
Morrissey, Marr, Joyce and Rourke all on stage together....

The gathering of 4 massive wankers, the biggest since Gerrard, Suarez, Dalglish and Carragher.

feck me you are on a downer.:D

I'll give you Moz. The rest are ok particulary Johnny Marr who, despite being a City fan, is a sound fella.

I'm not bothered about the price of players, I'd just like to see us address the problems in the squad. my gripe with Woodward was his continued leaks to the press throughout the season.
 
Oh shit, its gathering pace. The Juve fans seem to think he is right.

And I'm a Smiths fan. I'm in a foul mood :devil:

Normally though, I find Morrissey quite entertaining, with his anecdotes.
"Richard Madley having a go at me?! The same man, who got famous because he married his mother?!?!"
:lol:

To be fair to Woodward he stopped that. And his comments about record transfers were taken out of context.
 
So it's Vidal being announced tonight?

Excellent. Might have a couple of single malts to welcome that news.

:D Next up...."I'm glad Tony Wilson is dead"

That's pretty much like any set of fans. When a journo like Jamie Jackson or something says "United are signing.... soon" we all just say he's a bullshitter. When the same person says "United are selling....." we all start getting worried. For example the Daily Mail article saying Rafael is one Van Gaal OK'd to go, causes a bit of panic on here but we all ignore their stories about who we're signing.
 
Nope but it's the same line both Fergie and Moyes used, LVG has been well briefed :(

I guess. Hey I'm desperate for signings but also smart enough to to realise that only happens if van Gaal wants players. Some on here seem to think Woody should act like a director of sport and just sign players for the sake of signing them
 
It's maybe different in England but you begin the academy around 14, if he is at Arsenal since 14 then he passed all his academy's years at Arsenal.
Be interesting what they call the period before 14 then. 2001-2004 he was at Wimbeldon, prior to them being disbanded. Not worth really arguing about, I just find it strange that youngsters who have been introduced into the game by one team, and then taken on by another, seem to only be regarded as the latter. We will be arguing that Adnan or Powell is one of our product next.

All pisstaking aside, I think the reality is somewhere in the middle. I suspect there are players Woodward can get, but LVG doesn't want them. I also suspect the players Woodward hasn't been able to get the players LVG wants so far, rather than him not wanting players at all.
 
The guy writes for Goal, like Duncan Castles used to and he's considered a good source for Chelsea news. What's interesting is that Juve fans are worried by his testimony.
 
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.
What are you talking about? I mean obvious so I didn't have to mention them. Not obvious transfers

Most of the time it's called a "school" when there is a selection, otherwise you play for an amateur football club, you pay your licence and you are in the team.
But the real formation begin around 13-14 years old and finishes at 21 years old.

I say that but i really don't know how it works in england.
