I don’t mind the hurdles. You don’t always get what you want. It’s the fact we’ve not flogged anyone when there is a clear need to get rid. Now he will put his trust in them again to get us back to an acceptable level - which he has stated himself.
He can't say it now in case it reduces their value but a saying it a couple of month ago is fine? Not sure that logic flies.
Fortunately the clown has until August 31st to pass players on to other leagues. Makes me hopeful Lukaku, Darmian and Rojo at a minimum will eventually leave.

You're aware we're in a preseason and it's a transfer window going on? As opposed to couple a months a go.
Ed or Ole?
Knowing the misery of this place likely both.
Exactly. We've not had a meaningful game in a while and things get rosey pretty quickly when a ball isnt kicked in vein. We have lads not good enough for this level. If Maguire comes in, that is 7 centre backs - there should have been some form of cull by now as we have a lot of deadwood. We shouldn't have to hold on to sub average lads just to keep a few numbers up.
There's only one clown in charge of our transfers!
That's the issue I have. He would have identified players not good enough by now. Yet we wont ship the deadwood out. If you know they are not good enough, move them on when you can.
It's not just a one season project. Obviously it's not great if we only do 2 signings, but not the end of the world. Just prolongs it and makes January/next summer bigger.
I took them as genuine. Because we took one point from two relegated teams to end the season, got smashed by Everton and went from a winning run to downed tools and losing run soon as Ole was made permanent. The team is anything but one that can just be man managed to be motivated
(laughing thinking how ridiculous it is that we still have so many of the players we have not you)You know that managers can change their mind, don't you? Maybe Ole sees something in pre-season from some players that he didn't last year, after all Mourinho absolutely destroy the team's spirit last season with his toxic behaviour.

What he actually said was that he was going to be a success at United, and some of these players wouldn’t be around when he is. Not that he’d be shipping loads out straight away.
In pre season?
What is he supposed to say? Solskjaer made it quite clear he wants more signings in when he said they've identified areas where they can improve. Throwing his toys out the pram isn't going to achieve anything as we saw with our manager last year.
Herrera and Valencia are gone so even that "quote" is completely true, even if it was not totally misrepresenting what OGS was trying to say at the time.
Based on recent elections, those who boldly speak up and proclaim outrage to rile and rule the mob are the 'politicians' getting votes. That's not Ole at the moment
Sorry but my post post was aimed at the state of things, not at Ole. Of course i know he has to say that but the fact he has had to shows the state that the club is in. A lot of people around here jump to the wrong conclusions all the time.
He said both things. Judging from our lineup of the 4-0 loss against Everton, could've been expected for us to get rid of Jones, Smalling, Young, Matic and Lukaku..
Calm down no one's using it as a stick to beat Ole with they're just highlighting the contradiction that Ole has been forced into presenting.
There have been repeated suggestions since he arrived that he is a ‘yes’ man. Some of them in this thread. It’s a one-eyed view based on the grand sum of sod all.
I can guarantee you won't be saying that come October. Our season might be over very quickly if things stay the way they are in terms of recruitment.
He clearly was referring to the entire squad and over a longer period of time than this summer window.
Lukaku hasn't played a pre-season game yet and by all accounts is due to be sold. Darmian has also not played a game. Young and Dalot have been replaced with AWB. And the window is still open and Ole is still expecting transfers. As usual, most of the action occurs towards the end of the window. Best to suspend judgement until then.
