2 weeks for Woody to pull something out the bag otherwise fans are going to get restless at Old Trafford.

Not that it will impact on his job though, the Glazers love him.
 
Why are we linked with players like Daley Blind? We need top quality, not more mediocre players.

Because it seems that we are not able to attract those players to join us...or we are skint...or just don't want to spend big anymore.
 
In the stupidity of saving a few million on a transfer fee, we are loosing at least 50 in tv revenue and sponsorship alone.

FFS outbid them show some fight and at least try.
 
The club ain't getting my money for a while if this is what's gonna happen. I'll start doing my bit to hit them where it hurts.

Don't think they care mate, people will still buy shirts etc. I mean the season tickets sold out in no time, that's without CL!
 
Reckon we'll get Rojo and Blind and be done with it. Long season ahead.

I wouldn't mind these players if we had a decent starting 11.

But we don't. I think these players are similar to the levels we got. We need world class talent.

We're better off quickly moving on to other targets if Bayern are really interested rather than wasting precious time.

Yeah, agree with that. And here I was foolish enough to believe it won't get worse than last summer, at least we had Evra, Rio and Vidic.

Indeed. If you were in the players position... you could move to the best team currently in Europe. Or you could move to Manchester United who aren't even in Europe. We could offer more money but any player with ambition would go to Bayern in those circumstances.

Don't buy stuff then, go to games make sure you have had plenty to eat and drink before you go in. Don't buy their food. That will make the sponsors edgy. Get your shirts, if you buy them elsewhere, it's cheaper anyway. While people are spending millions in the Megastore all the time, the owners don't give a damn.
 
According to Woodward we can still attract the best players, so where are they? Surely he wasn't making it up? :rolleyes:
 
To be fair, i'm pretty sure we'd have had at least one of Kroos/Fabregas if David Moyes was still in charge of the club. I'd consider them to be elite players.

What makes you sure of this? Kroos was always going to go to Madrid once they become interested and Cesc would have still properly choose London, Jose and UCL football before joining Moyes etc

You obviously forgot we are after Rojo and Blind, two world class talents that will help us bring the trophy where it belongs.

I just think we had it all lined up and ready to go when the Summer began we'd have gone straight in for them to get em wrapped up quickly. Madrid wasn't interested in Kroos initially either so we could have wrapped it up quickly. Fabregas we were after for ages and i'm pretty sure I remember reading at the time that he stalled talks with Chelsea until he knew we weren't interested (whether he would have used us to get better wages at Chelsea who knows). But we were definitely in for both with Moyes in charge and he'd have been eager to recruit quickly and early.

I'd take them, they are better than what we have and we need to stop pretending the best players would sign for us over other top clubs. They are both solid players at a good age.

Yeah true. We've desperately missed a utility man and somebody who was backup for Vermaelen. We'd be unstoppable.

Why would Kroos or Fabregas want to join a poor side without European football managed by David Moyes? The Kroos thing always sounded like bollocks to me.

Really? It would be unbelievably underwhelming imo. And I'm not sure Rojo is better than what we have. Neither is Blind, well probably as a leftback.

Those 2 players are so far down the wishlist I couldnt give 2 shits about whether we sign them or not. Solid players yes, but nothing that will bring us forward at all.

But they will. Smalling, Jones and Evans are as unreliable as they come and can't keep fit. Blind was dutch player of the year, and is coming off a good world cup. They would be underwhelming as the board keep telling us we can sign the best players no matter what the fee, but if we go into the season with what we have now it's only going to get worse.
 
This is farcical, Woodward buys toilet paper with a road map to his arse etched on it otherwise he couldn't find it to wipe.

Rojo from what I have heard is the definition of unreliable.
And beeing the dutch player of the year...well congrats. The Dutch league is in a shitty shape. Where should he play? Alongside Herrera? That's not a top 4 midfield is it? As a leftback instead of our new 30 million pound signing? I have no clue.
 
For feck sakes.

If true you have to applaud them. They get it done within a day. Pretty sure they had a meeting over who to sign on Friday. Why can't we fecking do that!

Probably because United didn't want him.

As we seen yesterday, our midfield isn't even top 10 never mind top 4. Blind and one other would go some way to helping that. Fletcher is finished and Carrick's past his best too.

Oh I agree our midfield is shit. But he wouldnt be enough to change that. I wouldnt be against this signing at all if we used him as a squad player and signed a worldclass player as well.
Doesnt look like it and I don't want him as our only solution to that woeful CM we have.
