Well nobody expected us to sign 7 players.so his "1 or 2 players" quote after barca looks more like reality now.

he said 1 or 2 after the barca game, and he's made it clear in that press conference that its a very slow and gradual change.No it means no Gareth Bale.
Half the Caf transfer muppets want that though.Well nobody expected us to sign 7 players.
i wasn't focusing on that bit,Well nobody expected us to sign 7 players.
Only one or two signings would be a disgrace though. I'd be happy with four.Well nobody expected us to sign 7 players.
We need a lean summer. We’ve got too much dross here.i wasn't focusing on that bit,
when you combine "1 or 2 players" with "being realistic", "no quick fix", step-by-step. I think he's being genuine in the 1 or 2 players in comment.
I think he's all but confirming more leaving that replacements. Hence we will likely have a lean summer for transfers.
Well as long as you’re happy...Only one or two signings would be a disgrace though. I'd be happy with four or five.
We was never going to sign 7 though. 1 or 2 means positions that need replacing get replaced. So no extra left back, no extra striker no luxury midfielder.he said 1 or 2 after the barca game, and he's made it clear in that press conference that its a very slow and gradual change.
These aren't vague statements, he obviously sees a rebuild as a slow process. Thats fine, however i think that's all the confirmation we need as fans to see some leaving, but not much coming in straight away.
You don't think the team needs more than 1 or 2 players...?Well as long as you’re happy...
God help this club more likely.Half the Caf transfer muppets want that though.
God help this place if we don’t sign at least 4 players this summer.
No you’re wrong! He should be winning every single match with Fergie’s, Van Gaal’s and Jose’s players! Zidane would have us top of the league now and into the final of the World Cup!
I think four is definitely not being a muppet it's being realistic due to our obvious problems, 1 signing would be utter shite unless it is Messi, 2 wont be much better again unless they are both top, top talents.Half the Caf transfer muppets want that though.
God help this place if we don’t sign at least 4 players this summer.
I just hope it's.not signing players for the sake of it. I'd rather sign 2-3 world class players than 6 middle of the road players who won't have much impact on our league position.God help this club more likely.
There will be 3-4 surely. He's saying 1-2 to keep a low profile in the market.i wasn't focusing on that bit,

Yet he still hasn't criticized Rashford even as indirectly as he has done Martial and Sanchez, who he said must do more at one point. I hope he isn't biased towards English/academy players.Exactly, and I don't think he's impressed with any of his forwards either.
It is also true. We have been buying stupidly for a while, it does not help. We also probably sold a few that we should have kept.Think he means buying a raft of players alone isn't a solution.
By the sound of things, we’ve actually got a strategy going on behind the scenes.You don't think the team needs more than 1 or 2 players...?
i don't care about the 7 players comment, as i've already stated above. My comments were in regards to his language used in transfer speculation. He's not pushing for dramatic change. It could be very likely that we buy a herrera replacement, a RB like Wan-Bissaka and a CB like Toby Alderwierald and that's it for the window. Yet we sell 5-6 players.We was never going to sign 7 though. 1 or 2 means positions that need replacing get replaced. So no extra left back, no extra striker no luxury midfielder.
CB, RB, CM and RW. The rest gets fixed as we go along.
until i see it, i'll take ole at his word. Based on all those comments, i'd stuggle to see more than 3 signings.There will be 3-4 surely. He's saying 1-2 to keep a low profile in the market.

The scattergun approach that happened under LVG and Jose didn’t help whatsoever.
I think Ole wants to bring in a few, sell the dross and promote the talented youth players.
It’s always going to be this way under the Glazers. We won’t go out and do a City or a Real Madrid in one summer. You’re supporting the wrong club if you demand that.
Mate I’d love us to bring in four players that will immediately strengthen us. I just don’t see it happening until the dross is sold first.Buying four players is hardly "doing a City or a Real". I have zero faith in the strategy behind the scenes, but I'll be hoping for the best obviously!
Four first reamers, not 2 plus Grant and Dalot type of players.Only one or two signings would be a disgrace though. I'd be happy with four.
He has been one of our best attackers, and even when he has an off game he puts in massive effort. He has played on even while injured. Of course he is not going to criticize him. Young players can be inconsistent, but the important part is that they put effort, which he always does, unlike Martial.Yet he still hasn't criticized Rashford even as indirectly as he has done Martial and Sanchez, who he said must do more at one point. I hope he isn't biased towards English/academy players.
Yeah, I agree that they have to shift quite a few players as well. A busy summer, in and out, is really needed.Mate I’d love us to bring in four players that will immediately strengthen us. I just don’t see it happening until the dross is sold first.
I agree. The problem is we need at least 4 of those quality additions. We need a starting RB, CDM/CM, RW and CB. In the best case scenario we need 2 additions for the midfield.I just hope it's.not signing players for the sake of it. I'd rather sign 2-3 world class players than 6 middle of the road players who won't have much impact on our league position.
Yes, obviously.Four first reamers, not 2 plus Grant and Dalot type of players.
Wasn't that obvious last summer.Yes, obviously.
It was obvious to the fans and the manager - not so much to Woodward.Wasn't that obvious last summer.
Granted but we have Mata, Herrera(possibly), Valencia, Rojo and Darmian going. So that’s room for 4 signings. I don’t see the problem and why your holding onto the 1-2 words.Mate I’d love us to bring in four players that will immediately strengthen us. I just don’t see it happening until the dross is sold first.
Is that even possible though money-wise these days? We only consider world class players good enough additions here on the Caf, and those players cost about 100m each. Sicne we can't spend 400m, the club will never do enough business to satisfy the muppets on here.I agree. The problem is we need at least 4 of those quality additions.

Stability and planning. You seem to want both that and a crazy overturn of players which we’ve witnessed for the last 5 years.So the media all come out with nonsense about a revamping of the squad after a poor run of form, while Ole says that we aren't gonna go crazy in the market. Woodward has the fans on puppet strings. Loads of talk and little action.
This was very predictable and many of us predicted it. Renewals to several players this season meant there was next to no chance of a massive clear out and revamping.
Well Valencia is going, I think and hope Mata will go. Herrera looks like he is on his way. We will surely sell Darmian at least and would not be surprised if we sell Pereira also plus we sold Fellaini in January.Mate I’d love us to bring in four players that will immediately strengthen us. I just don’t see it happening until the dross is sold first.
Like someone said above, it’s probably Ole being secretive because the market is difficult to operate in if every selling club in the land knows we’re after 4/5 players.Granted but we have Mata, Herrera(possibly), Valencia, Rojo and Darmian going. So that’s room for 4 signings. I don’t see the problem and why your holding onto the 1-2 words.
Those two aren't mutually exclusive though.Stability and planning. You seem to want both that and a crazy overturn of players which we’ve witnessed for the last 5 years.
So if your so indecisive why do you expect so much from the club.
God help the team if we don’t. There’s really no excuse for us not doing that. And while I agree with him that it will be a slow process to improve the team it will be even slower if we only managed to get one or two improvements every summer.Half the Caf transfer muppets want that though.
God help this place if we don’t sign at least 4 players this summer.
