Woodward and the Glazers are to blame.

If Woodward only signs Rojo before the window closes, this entire transfer window will have been a complete failure. We need Di Maria and Vidal. If we don't get them I hope Woodward is booed out of the stadium. If the results suffer than Woodward and and the Glazers have no one to blame but themselves.

You say like they care. They don't. All they care about is $$$. I thought they were smart enough to spend enough money this year so we'd be a lock for top4, but it seems that with all the big commercial deals done, they couldn't care less.

Btw Vidal and Di Maria would be awesome, but for example a Cuadrado and let's say Khedira/Carvalho would improve this side immensly. It's a nice dream though. I think our business will be done with Rojo and Blind

It's the team we should be aspiring to, don't you know?

I felt there wasn't that much a gulf in class between our squads and Chelsea's and City's last season, I'm beginning to suspect there is.

 

[hobbers]

Nastasic is a better prospect than Mangala, injuries aside. Or, at least, he's shown more in his short career than Mangala has. Given that he's played well in a vastly superior league.

Just buy a fu.king midfielder! I dont care which one just buy him!

Except all these commercial deals will be happier if we had CL football. Especially somebody like Adidas.

Crucial word being "ENJOYED"

 

[Moonred]

Can't get all this drama associated with transfers, a fecking interview to say sorry or bid farewell..urgh!

 

[brian017]

If the subtitles and his translation are true.. Welcome to United Marcos!

 

[bosnian_red]

So it looks like we'll finally sign somebody... Happy it's happening and we're getting some depth but really, we need a lot more then just him. Another center back and a midfielder/winger is necessary still.

We are MUFC we cant do transfers like other big clubs we always have to have drama

 

[Sied]

I thank Sporting and everyone who works at the club.

when my career wasn't in the best moment, Sporting gave me the opportunity in a big European club...+

Those are all long term deals. They still can pocket enough money out of the club, even if the deals aren't that freakishly high. Of course you're right, but look for example at City and what they did without CL football. Bought Silva and Toure because they fecking could with all the money in the world. If United were prepared to pay the price for a player like Vidal or Di Maria, they would simply City style pay it up and nothing of this whole mess would be happening.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

He's ours. Good. Now get Benatia.

 

[RetroStu]

We still need another defender, midfielder and winger imo and even then nothing would be guaranteed unless they are top quality players we bring in.
Urgh what a state we are in at the moment.

 

[Pexbo]

This is just the start.

 

[The-Natural]

Just not in the same league as Benatia sadly. feck it beggars and choosers etc

We can not get the top top players, so this is a decent buy.

 

[Jaap]

Doesn't Rojo play in Blackett's position? Or Shaw's?

Isn't the problem that we currently have too many average players?

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

CB, can play at lb as cover.

 

[Ady87]

Centre back for club left back for country usually.

 

[JohnDoe]

Yes it is.

 

[Member 60376]

Of another false dawn

 

[RetroStu]

Isn't the problem that we currently have too many average players?

Definitely but we are so short in defence in terms of numbers and quality so we simply have to bring some defenders in.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

He managed to get to a world cup final, so knows about big games. They did lose of course.

 

[Feed Me]

Yes it is.

So, the question is, is Rojo another average player, or are we signing someone who will elevate us?

 

[Moonred]

Rojo, Blind, Vidal, Di Maria and we are laughing our way into 5th.

 

[Silverman]

Absolutely no chance. I don't think we want to spend the money. After EW's spiel it's a joke really.

It may be unlikely but it is what we need and that is the worrying part.

 

[Mainoldo]

Rojo, Blind, Vidal, Di Maria and we are laughing our way into 5th.

4th!!! If we sign no one we are struggling to 5th!!

 

[Feed Me]

Definitely but we are so short in defence in terms of numbers and quality so we simply have to bring some defenders in.

This is the sort of rationale that landed us with dross like Fellaini for nearly £30m.

Don't get me wrong, I've never watched Rojo, but the reports about him on here aren't exactly glowing.

 

[Devil may care]

So, the question is, is Rojo another average player, or are we signing someone who will elevate us?

He's 24, fast, big, strong and mobile, good enough to start for Argentina in the WC final so surely a player who will add to our options with the potential to develop further under LvG.

 

[Feed Me]

At left back though. Forgive me, but I'm sick of all this adaptable bollocks - it's the reason Jones and Smalling have stalled.

 

[Moonred]

4th!!! If we sign no one we are struggling to 5th!!

I was joking. We won't get all of them anyway.

 

[Castia]

According to a few journos he's pretty average. There's 2 Portuguese lads at work who also think he's shit.

 

[JohnDoe]

So, the question is, is Rojo another average player, or are we signing someone who will elevate us?

Yes it is. The question that is.

I've no idea, can't remember seeing him play, but the reports aren't exactly encouraging.

 

[Feed Me]

He's 24, fast, big, strong and mobile, good enough to start for Argentina in the WC final so surely a player who will add to our options with the potential to develop further under LvG.

But he played at LB. What's his natural role?

 

[Pexbo]

He's 24, fast, big, strong and mobile, good enough to start for Argentina in the WC final so surely a player who will add to our options with the potential to develop further under LvG.

This is the key for me. We need quick defenders for this system.

 

[.Rossi]

Swap Brazil for Argentina and we've got the exact same description for Kleberson.

Balls to it, we need a defender and I'll take anyone right now
