So chilled about transfers. Don't care anymore. I'd like to see the plonker in charge get some change out of what he already has.
Wot, no transfers?

Agreed. But the endless posts about how our season was dead in the water before it even started because Mourinho wasn’t backed in the market will be tedious.
Yep, this is how I'm feeling too. I know this squad can entertain me better than it has been, want our manager to manage them into doing so.
I just want to see our best players performing to their best, achieve that and I know I'll enjoy this season more than the last.
I'm expecting a signing or two announced before tomorrow's deadline.
I'm fairly happy with the squad though anyway. I think we will have a good season just because football is weird at times.

What a rollercoaster.
Not a fun rollercoaster though, the kind of rollercoaster that makes you feel sick.

oh shit, now seeing this I really wish we had Angry Birds on the RW
Why try to bring in another Center Back I don't understand, Mou could've addressed that position last Summer when he brought Lindelof in.

That will be no fecker.
Signed: nobody
Sold: nobody
Linked with: Maybe a loan move for Boateng. Bayern not keen.
Well everyone we have will just have to up their game and then we should be ok.
Might help if Mourinho and family lived together in Manchester. First time they have lived apart and first time he has failed to live up to expectations. A less grumpy Maureen is a happier Maureen and a happier team.
I’d be lying to say I’m not disappointed if we don’t sign anyone else. Our wide options are really weak. Square pegs in round holes (Valencia, Young and Mata) and lack of quality (Shaw and Darmian) when it comes to those areas. I guess we’ll have to wait and see Dalot in action. Transfermarkt says he can play left back too, so fingers crossed he can be versatile.
Ah yeah I forgot we were mid table.
Who said that?
I feel like the ultimate iteration of Mourinho's tactics would be a GK, 8 CBs, Fellaini as a target man and a speed demon playing off him for the second ball flick on.
If we're gonna play the way we have been playing under him, might as well do it properly.
A sign of the times that the the most likely option will be a loan move for Boateng, who IMO, is worse that our current set of defenders.
What exactly is Woodward doing?
Is he making a bid, then closing his eyes and hoping for the best - like ebay?
With less than 2 days, he needs to pay (and offer bids) over the odds - he should've known this.
Such a lack of ambition from the club. Even Chelsea seem to be getting it together eventually.
Very disappointing, there will be some shitty consequences with our good players going next year if we even equal last season's standings.

I wouldn't mind a loan with a view to a permanent move tbh. It seems to be very popular these days. Try before you buy.
Same for me. Rather we save the money for someone else - hopefully the board picks well this time!
Our team isn't as bad as Jose makes out. Yes we have areas to improve, but on the whole we should expect to do a hell of a lot better than what he's insinuating. We just need proper coaching.
Really surprised more people don't have this line of thinking. Should be pretty clear after the players Mourinho has already brought in. After Sanchez, I'm done expecting new signings to change the way we play.
He's spinning it that if we do badly it's because of a lack of signings. Yet, look at his targets? Defenders. Honestly, we need to sort out our attack. We have been crying out for someone on the right, and imho should have made Valencia back up from last season, and brought in a proper right back as well. Why has he waited so long and then only got a 19 year old? I have no problem with the kid, but he doesn't seem to be what Jose is after, so why get him in the first place?
We bought him Pogba for £89M and he proceeds to alienate the guy. That's a misuse of our player assets. Plus, he hasn't gotten the best out of him or any other attackers really. It's like, he doesn't care how much you paid for the players, if he doesn't fancy them any longer they can leave. That's nuts. He's paid a lot to manage and it is his responsibility to get the very best out of them in every way.
I just think his thinking on transfer targets is a bit muddled. Therefore, I'm not fussed if the board don't make any further signings.
Unfortunately, people will excuse his dire coaching and man management skills and the conversation will be all about the signings we didn't make.
We're not just struggling to sign players, we're struggling to sell them. It's really poor all round
We don't want to pay what clubs are asking for top talent, yet we seemingly want too much for our castaways.
It's near deadline day and it couldn't be more obvious that we are dealing with Levy, and he is being Levy.
They shall not pass.Nearly have our Back 8 sorted then
DDG
Back 8
Pogba
LUKAKU
Sorted.
Fully with you on this mate. I cannot envisage Woodward being happy. 2 CB's signed already and deemed not good enough and now Jose wants another. Serious questions should be raised about his targeting and judgement of players. Add in the fact that with all the attacking potential we have, we are still fecking diabolical in the final third.
And with Smalling as part of that back 8, neither will we.
I need MOAR meltdownz
Have we covered how sucky the weather at Old Trafford is compared to the emptihad and anfield yet? Because if we didn't- we should.

Poor Chris!They shall pass, but only outside the box.
Aeroflot goes down too easily as well.
Badum tish!
Tbh i wouldn't be surprised if they want rid of Mourinho and are trying to get him to quit. That new contract he signed a year ago was a fecking stupid move, even by our recent standards.
