The silliest club on the planet has knocked out transfer after transfer in swift, efficient fashion. Madrid.
The feck are you doing defending Woodward here? Ole asked for everything done by the tour. Even before his full appointment, he said the club had targets and were making strategic moves. He was hired preemptively and had furthermore time to sign off on players well before the season end.
Yet here we are in the same summer head bashing exercise of not getting transfers completed
Am I defending Woodward? I’m not usually accused of that.
It’s good that Solskjær put some pressure on Woodward by saying he wanted transfers done by 1. july. I don’t think he or manyone else expected that to happen as such, as, Madrid notwithstanding, the normal for most clubs is and have always been for these things to take time.
If Solskjær haven’t got mostly what he’s asked for by 6th of August, he’s reason to be angry (and we too). Though I’m sure he’d prefer to have his top targets by PL start rather than his 2nd choices by preseason tour if that’s the choice.
I have argued for the removal of Woodgate from all things football, and for the Glazers out, but I won’t just use any stick to beat them with, and certainly nothing so ludicrous as to expect United to restrict themselves to a transfer window that is one or even two months shorter than anyone else.
