City and Psg? Not enough ambition...better off supporting Madrid
No definitely a spoilt fan in my opinion.
We have just lost the greatest manager of all time. All our financial power is because of SAF and he has just left after more than a quarter of a century.
A single year of poor performance in an adjustment period post SAF and people are throwing their arms up saying it is disgraceful. That in my opinion is the very definition of a spoilt fan base.
And before you say yes other big clubs have had to replace a great manager and continued to be successful but no of those were as good as SAF and none were at their club for anywhere as long as SAF.
Can someone confirm this?

Probably in there. Can anyone paste the article? Or summarise.
@Damien normally gives us the summary but don't think he's on at the moment.
I imagine my meltdown and a line of you queuing up slapping me "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER LAD"
IMO this is the only way woody redeems himself Vidal, Di Maria, Rojo and Blind for cover.
Back in the real, non hysterical world, where online meltdowns count for nothing, Woodward has no need to redeem himself for anything.
I've posted the Oliver Kay paragraph in the Vidal thread.
Redeem himself for???
I dunno perhaps promising grand things such as "breaking the transfer record" and quotes such as "watch this space" "we will compete for the top players".
In case you haven't noticed the season starts tomorrow and nothing has happened so far since.
He promised he would break the transfer record?
Why are we looking at Di Maria? We've spent all pre-season learning this 3-5-2 formation - can Di Maria play as a wingback? If he can't then I just don't get the logic behind it.
He never said we would break the transfer record, he said we could if that was a player the manager identified.
No he did not.
Thought so, thanks.
So you've ignored the quotes from LVG saying he wanted to assess the players first before making any judgements on incomings and outgoings, meaning you'd expect Woodward to be able to conclude a deal worth in excess of £40mil within a week. Sure OK.
SolidState really is the muppet king.
Unless this went over my head, I don't think Woodward said anything about breaking the transfer record this summer. More that we are in a position to spend big if the manager wants a player.
Come on,this is obviously a WUM account by someone else on here.
I'd check the IP addresses if I had that power. I think mods can see them.
Let me save you the effort I'm just a muppet.
It's great init? Can't wait.
No, you're too muppet to be believable. You've given yourself away. Better dial it down for a while now.
I can't get the tweet as am writing this on my phone but Graham Hunter has retweeted a "reliable" guy who says that Marco Rues will sign for Atletico.
Not sure what incentive there is for Reus to sign for Atletico.
Firstly, I doubt he'd get higher pay than what Dortmund can and will offer. Secondly he just got the vice captaincy. I doubt Dortmund would have given it to him if they thought he was leaving. Thirdly, why would Dortmund sell for the reported 27m Euros when Dortmund can keep hold of Reus for another season and sell for only 2m Euros less. Plus, there is next to no time to bring in a suitable replacement. I also read that his agency Sportstotal is extremely close to Bild and Bild haven't said anything yet.

I can't see how Atletico Madrid would be able to pull off the Reus deal at that price without half the clubs on the world getting involved
Why isn't Fergie helping out with the transfers like Zidane does with Real? Surely a reassuring word from him would make a world of difference to our top targets.
What the hell? How come they are the only one in for him? For the reported price of €31m, I'd expect every top club in Europe to be after him.

Catalan newspaper Sport claim Liverpool have made a formal offer for Alex Song and the player may accept it as soon as today.
Eurgh. Would be a poor signing (thankfully it likely won't happen).

I actually think he'd be a decent signing for Liverpool. At worst he'd be a good squad player.
so we are 100% in for Rojo?@ That's disappointing, I'd say we need either an experienced CB or a cover for RB/LB if you want to address defence.
I don't see the wings as much of an issue as some here as I think some of our current players will look better under LVG, Januzaj is a top talent, and Valencia was very good a year or two ago, then there is Mata who is top class. That's without mentioning people like Kagawa, Nani or Lingard who may do very well under LVG as well, I wouldn't mind waiting until January.
As for midfield, with our best 3 midfielders arguably all better defensively than offensively, I don't think Vidal should be top priority, but I understand that when a player of that calibre becomes available, you need to go for him, but I'd like to see a more advanced or forward thinking midfield player, my one is Kovacic, but it seems unlikely, a perfect player hypothetically would be the "Anderson" we signed in 2007 from Porto

Absolutely every top club in Europe is in for him. If they've bid they won't get him without a challenge from a number of clubs.
