You speak too much sense.
I hope for your sake it happens, else you will become soooo skeptical in future. We have had glaring holes in the squad for a while...
Robben, Hazard and the kidnap kid say hi.
After last season, nothing can ruffle my feathers man.
Nothing can be as bad as waking up after the deadline passed to find out fellaini was our only signing.
I knew then we weren't going to win shit. This year with LVG I think we'll be top four no matter what way you slice it.
Robben, wasn't that like 10 years ago?
...as big a joke as coming on here and announcing that we will be signing *insert WC players name* next week. For someone so ITK as you, to come back and call the club an utter joke....well, we must be fecked then!!
Muppets don't care much about assessment of existing players. Muppets care about multi-million world class signings.
If anything I think Woodward is champing at the bit to make signings but LVG is taking his time (as is his prerogative).
Exactly, I think ed actually wants to splash the cash.
Completely agree. Woodward knows he's got to prove his metal and that he'll get more stick that van Gaal if we don't sign anyone else, regardless of the reality.
Yes, that's how long they've taken the top players we wanted.
Exactly which centre backs have we missed out on by "delaying?"
We could've wrapped up Vermaelen long before Barça got a chance.
We could not. Wenger was never going to sell him to us. Once it was clear he was for sale Barca were always favourites
Thank god we didn't...he is already injured again.
He would have been a terrible buy.
Same could be said for Cuadrado.
In that case, why bother going for him to begin with?
Another annoyance with our transfer policy. Going after targets that are clearly never in a million years going to sign for us.
Spot on mate.
If we gambled that hummels was coming here then that is horrible planning, he never was going to come here.
Benatia is available who can do the job, but who knows if LVG rates him or he only wants a left footer.
That coming from Jan Hagen, who not too long ago was being poked fun of for perhaps over-rating nearly every Liga player linked with a move abroad.
This. And that this summer was sold to us as being the summer where the squad was rebuilt and invested in, and supposedly the reason for Moyes' sacking was that he couldn't be trusted with this where as van Gaal and Woody can. But we've seen no evidence of this, and the 2 signings we have had were actually set up by Moyes in the first place.
I'd be happy with just another center back at this stage, but I'm not even holding my breath for that now. Without it's going to be another worrying season.
Seems content.
We've got ourselves a poorly rated defender! Yipppeeee!
Seriously: Hopefully he turns out to be a good buy (if true of course), I will be backing Marcos Red to be a success.

Rubbish. It's not like we could have kidnapped him without protest from Arsenal or without Barca getting wind of it.
And that's all your butt hurt about? Us delaying over a player we didn't really delay ever at all - and one who has been injured all Summer, meaning he's not ready to play no matter how early he was signed!
Give yourself a slap.
wahooo, signing on my birthday!!!! <3
Me too! I'm only saying poorly rated due to what Che and Jan have said, I know nothing about him and didn't really pay him any attention during the WC (where he was good, some say).
Roughly the same price as Thomas too, and not injured.
How reliable Record is?
Shaw to LCB?
I think prior to the WC they spoke about him on the Guardian podcast and they seemed to think it was a surprise that he was picked as he wasn't highly rated. He looked reasonably decent in the WC but I didn't think he looked anything special, though it does seem that he plays at CB regularly so he might not have been in his favoured position.
