Where did he say that?
The confusion with the embargo thing lads is that Fergie didnt give two fecks about the press and didnt do separate pressers.
A matter of semantics, but the Guardian reported he said 'I'll discuss IT with Ed Woodward." Small change, but changes the quote completely.
We know for sure that we've made moves for Vermaelen and Rojo. Clearly a certain amount of assessment has already been done.
In fact I'd be amazed if LvG didn't know what he wanted with just two weeks left in the transfer window.
He wants players and he's saying there's still time to get them.
Yeah IT, the transfer!
Van Gaal didn't say that.
Wow, not huge news, but good to see that Van Gaal agrees sees the weakness in this squad. But I think he doesn't know Woodward too well. A Woodward bid takes atleast a week to be properly prepared and to be declined. Don't know what he is talking about with those 24h.
Tonight, we have hope.
Di Maria, Vidal, Rojo and Blind please 
Just because a rumor goes on for a few weeks doesn't mean it takes weeks to negotiate.
At this stage we probably know how much the clubs want for our targets. As soon as LVG gives the nod it could all be done in 24 hours as he says.
Di Maria, Vidal, Rojo and Blind please
Blind sucks, other than that I really like that list. Maybe Rojo can do a Boateng transformation as a CB.
I love this quote:
Sounds like he wants to do a reverse Moyes. Climb up the cliff, rather than fall off it.

LVG says he's still assessing. But reading between the lines he means Woodward is shit.
Di Maria, Rojo and Vidal looking more likely than before.
Hope in a hanging snore.
No cakes for Yaya.
its the hope that kills you.
If we manage to pull of both Di Maria and Vidal....jesus fecking Christ, the thought of that alone.
Seeing as the only real news is on Rojo it's extreme muppetry to say that.
If Van Gaal wanted to release any pressure on Woodward by saying "I'm still assessing the squad", he wouldn't follow that up with: "we can sign a player in 24 hours".
Just need a defender then and we can challenge on all (available) fronts.
He says discussions, but I doubt it's what it appears. We've probably just enquired what his situation is, as I suspect all the top clubs in Europe have. It's hardly down to the nitty gritty of concluding a deal.
Good thing, he admits we need to strengthen as you would expect. Post deadline day we will firmly be able to assess without throwing excuses.
"It" yes, but still.
Both sides could have killed it stone dead today, and didn't.
Angel Di Maria and Rojo too? Watch this fecking space!
A Rojo would do. Adding to the squad and hard as nails.
So if we get battered tomorrow does that mean we are going to sign a shit load of players or what? You're so cryptic Louis.
Yes he did.
What a difference a year makes eh
Remember, Red, hope...is a good thing.
I wonder if Van Gaal got his English a bit wrong, and meant that we're going to see a new player in the next 24 hours?
I'm not WUMing, would be funny if that happened is all I'm saying!

LvG telling us something the whole world and their dog already knew.
I don't know. It fits with our policy of overpaying by ~£10m or so.
Aye we're good at that, our own fault though for admitting we are rolling in it to anybody that would listen.
Reckon we'll get Rojo for £16 million, which still seems a bit steep.
Cuadrado won't make any sense if they're already signing a new right back. They don't play with wingers.
