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.

You could pick about 30 midfielders in the prem alone that would improve our side. Fletcher wouldn't get in Crystal Palace's midfield, probably not even Leicester City's.

 

[Getsme]

I have defended Woodward and United management's corner but I can't anymore. We need to wrap up at minimum 2 signings this coming week. If we don't then we probably won't sign anyone else. It's as simple as that.

Same.

Yeah but they wouldnt make our midfield class again. We need players that can do that.

This is without a doubt true, but people will still disagree and tell you to name them because they think what we've got is better. There's no point with that lot. Our midfield is one that a midtable team should possess.

yes he would

Ross Barkley, obviously not now, James McCarthy, only another 28 to go, I'll have a think. Aaron Ramsey definitely.

Agree with this. I've held back on critisizing Woodward and think some of it is a bit over the top but time is running out.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

yes he would

He is our senior midfielder, that he would get in Palace or Leicester midfield isn't a recommendation.

 

[Getsme]

yes he would

I'm not sure he would.

 

[Damien]

Use a different thread to moan. More tweets please.

Think of any midfielder in the PL that is better than Fletcher, Cleverley and Anderson. The top 6 have nearly half of that (15) on their own.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

This.

We aren't going to have an amazing two weeks, anyone who thinks we will sign all these top players in that time are kidding themselves. We've, again left it far to late.

 

[dev1l]

opinions differ mate

 

[ThanksBoss26]

Tell us something we don't know.

As I've said many time since yesterday, the alternative is potentially a lot more damaging to the owners.

 

[Sunny Jim]

Van Gaal will fume if he doesn't get this guy.

Said it before. I would not be surprised if he left should Woodie failed to deliver

 

[Getsme]

You can sign a player in 24 hours, trust me.

 

[DWelbz19]

One defender, one CM and one winger is a priority. That's £100m~, and then some departures, that could amount anywhere from £25-40m dependent on who we let go. It's not impossible, but is very unlikely.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

You can sign a player in 24 hours, trust me.

You can, we don't. When was the last time we got a deal done at the click of a finger? We seem to take weeks to get things sorted.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

If that happened the shit would certainly hit the fan.

I've been thinking exactly the same thing since all of these protracted sagas began. I like to think VG would have too much pride, but I definitely think it's a possibility.

 

[Fortitude]

That would be the ultimate kick in the teeth. Would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

 

[ravi2]

You can, we don't. When was the last time we got a deal done at the click of a finger? We seem to take weeks to get things sorted.

I think at this point LVG will personally step in and take a much more personal role in the transfers, not that he should ever have to do that.
We seriously need to think about getting a DOF moving forward.

Even the glazer who was at the match yesterday looked irritated, I find it hard to believe they are not sanctioning transfers at this point when the alternative is disaster.

 

[Acole9]

We don't have any money to spend I'm convinced of that. Woodward and the United board are a bunch of liars.

 

[Getsme]

I know mate, just quoting LVG.

If so Glazers will have to sell, they can't sustain that share price and sponsors without spending

 

[Getsme]

opinions differ mate

Indeed, the worrying thing is, it shouldn't be up for discussion. The fact that it is shows how far behind our midfield is.

 

[Sandikan]

You're getting paranoid.

We have plenty of money, we're just not loose how we spend it. Like a wise man once told me, "You don't get rich by writing a lot of cheques".

No you don't, but you don't get Champions League football with a squad of many average players.

You do if you make sure they bounce.

could be, but i don't think you can say fletcher would not get into palace side after just one game this season.

 

[Sherzad]

 

[Getsme]

If that's true, then I have no idea what the feck the Club are playing at.

 

[JohnDoe]

Tbf it's not the United Way to buy world class central midfielders.

 

[Bojan11]

If that's true, then I have no idea what the feck the Club are playing at.

Don't worry, we just preparing and monitoring the situation. Come 1st September we'd launch a bid, which would be rejected and then say we tried.

 

[Fergie's Man]

If that's true, then I have no idea what the feck the Club are playing at.

Last minute deals is my guess. Ed wants to employ the three amigos again, then deny them.

 

[LonelyFire]

Ed Woodward - trying to buy players without actually bidding.

Watch this space....

 

[RedBistro]

Didn't United deny interest in Benatia yesterday?

If so, don't get too worked up about him going to Bayern, was probably on the cards before yesterday's news if that happens.

 

[Hoof the ball]

"watch this space" is symbolic reference to the blank space on the cheque where his signature is supposed to be......

 

[El-Manos]

Sky italia are unreliable as shit. Vidal was apparently our player weeks ago
