I think he would have been good here but I'm not overly dissapointed........I will be if thats it for our summer window though.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Thread will be closed soon!
As I said before they were linked to him before we were
Good !
It's not fair. Ed was just counting out the 2p pieces. We'd have had him by Friday!
LvG said it was on Pedro so I don't believe that at all.
Like a stilted lover we can go around saying we ended things to maintain our manhood but everyone else will know the truth.
Well I just hope that Woody and LVG, at the very least, egg Roman and Maureen's houses after this.
In the unlikely case that this has actually happened you'd have to say we dodged a bullet by not buying someone so fickle then wouldn't you?
BBC approved.
Or he could fed up waiting for us to cough up a small amount and went to a club that made him feel wanted.
BrilliantAny minute now!
It'll be interesting to see how many people will change their tune about Pedro when he signs for Chelsea. It's a big loss for us as I think he's have been brilliant here. Not sure how Chelsea will use him but ah well - they'll have a cracking player on their books.
If this was 5 years back I'd agree, but given the way we operate under the Lvg and Woodward era, can't see this being the case. 30 million on Shaw, 57 on Di Maria, we are no longer stingy. If we refused to pay up it's because we were convinced, either by the player or by the players' desire. More likely the latter as the player is excellent.
Fecking gutted. 
When I saw Memphis playing like he did yesterday, I was salivating at the prospect of having a player who can create the same kind of havoc on the opposite flank. With Pedro gone, I really don't know how we can build that 4-man attack capable of hitting from all angles.

Not quite a world beater, but one notch below and better than our right wing options.
We fecked up the Ronaldinho deal the exact same way. When the hell will we learn...
Haggling over a couple million and then end up with egg on our face. Fecking typical.

Seems Mata will be our main right winger after all. He's a very good footballer but simply doesn't give us the pace and dribbling quality we need on the right.Fecking gutted.
This is some Grade A Baloney and I don't care who knows it.
And Mata can't link up with Darmian I feel..
Pedroff.
Ramos. Otamendi. Pedro. Is there any thread left to jump ship to?

It could be to do with depay starting to show what he can do, VG's surprised at the form of janazaj, he has young and mata has has his go to guys, perhaps the club felt throwing 22 million on a player they felt never truly needed when he has mata, janazaj, depay and young. The money could be spent on a better striker, and CB, and pedro would be clogging up the midfield already packed with talent, there were already reports VG was not convinced pedro has the pace, and he already got his hands burnt with di maria
From now on, I want Ed Woodward to be involved in all Chelsea transfer deals. Good man.
We did get Ronaldo instead though....let's hope something similar happens again
Step up 18 year old Ristiano Conaldo from Sporting.If the club was really haggling .Then we were not really interested.
That's something people are overlooking, our haggling over peanuts can't have made him feel like we valued him all that highly.
Honestly I'd rather he went to Chelsea then City. Would have made a very big impact at United or City, and while he'll do well at Chelsea, I don't think he suits them nearly as much. He's a player who has played in a possession team his whole life, not a counter attacking team. Chelsea also have Willian and Hazard for the wings, who are very good options. Pedro will come in for Willian/maybe oscar and move Hazard inside, but I'm not sure of how much of a difference it'll be because they're all very good players. Gives them more depth though if anything. City and United on the other hand both have a weaker player in their starting 11 that can easily be replaced, like Navas or whoever we have next to Mata and Memphis. Though City want to get De Bruyne so who knows.
Annoying we are missing out on him, but I hope Januzaj really takes his chance this season as it looks like we won't be signing anyone else up there.

Yeah yeah feck em. We've got turn back Tony on the right anywayIts OK we "didn't want them anyway"
Seems like some are hopping onto the Muller ship. All aboard!
No. We're done for the summer.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. We can't rely on Mata to play that kind of role as a wide player. Furthermore, he slows the play too often in a position that requires quickness of execution in the movement.
And then what? The player's desire to play for us vanished for no reason? You talk as if we approach other teams even if the player is unsure of us. I don't know what caused us to refuse to buy him, if that is the case which is being rumored.
Not for no reason. The champions came calling and he jumped at the big opportunity
Nope, just seen his release has been increased yesterday, no wonder Chelsea swooped in for Pedro so quickly.
Shit a duck, how have we missed out on Pedro!!! We better have some great attacking alternative lined up otherwise we may struggle for goals this season.
the worst part about these failed transfer sagas is this /\ brunt of the jokes from Rivals. Why are Chelsea so efficient.
Yeah I got the feeling he was a target based on the fact he could cover one or two positions as opposed to being a mainstay...hence the haggling.
Definitely doesn't bother me...I'd much rather see Mata and Januzaj play. Mata in particular is capable of scoring goals and Januzaj will never get better unless he plays more often.
But I'm sure the outside world will see this as a great Mourinho victory.

Splash the cash carelessly on Di Maria, Shaw, Mata, Fellaini etc and then turn into a tight arse when negotiating for Pedro, WTF?!
Doesn't make sense.
Doesn't make sense.
clearly we didnt really want Pedro. So lets concentrate on developing Januzaj, Perreira and Lingard
Balague is made to look like an absolute farse, yet again. What a twat of a human being.
