The 3 you were "right" on we weren't even pursuing so I don't even know why you are giving yourself a pat on the back for that.I've been saying this since the start of the season and I'll say it again. We won't get Harry Kane, we won't get Sancho, we won't get Ronaldo and we won't get Bale. What we will get is a couple of squad players and a youth player or two. I was right on three of the first four and it's looking like I'll get the full house when the pursuit of Sancho eventually goes tits up. I'll wait to see about the squad players but I think it's fair to say I was right on the youth players. So stop wanking about world class players joining the squad... it won't happen.
Bale hasn't been World class for about 2-3 years now pal. Ain't nobody wanting to sign an overpaid, past it crock. Would rather we signed no-one than Bale.I've been saying this since the start of the season and I'll say it again.

This. United won't sign Lionel Messi guys, quote me.The 3 you were "right" on we weren't even pursuing so I don't even know why you are giving yourself a pat on the back for that.
I agree with needing reinforcements but it’s a bit far fetched to think we can’t make top 4 without them.I have my own reasons to believe we may not get top 4 next year without a major signing in attack - thats a whole different topic though.
Its too risky to leave this signing for next year. Just pay it off.
Are you referring to just transfer fees when you say £185m? Would you know the breakdown?The main problem seems to be the upfront fee that Dortmund are demanding. Getting rid of Sanchez saves us c. £20m a year from the wage bill, but if Dortmund wants £80m+ up front, then we need to find that cash from somewhere. We already owe £185m in outstanding fees, all due in the next 12 months...
We have a match going on you wankers.
So you have the tweet to his contact or no?Wow. Just wow. This planned out exactly how I called it with you earlier this morning, that must sting I know.
Your commitment runs deep with this fella. This must be hard for you.
If he didn’t know about Jadons contract situation it’s a blow to his credibility in this transfer, he clearly didnt, other posters have pointed this out as well. If he did know he would have certainly wanted to be the first journo to break that, seemingly unknown, information.
He’s towed the same line with his other clueless peers that we are simply nothing more than ‘in negotiations’, as vague as it gets, confirmed by nothing more than the clubs involved to any fool on the outside looking in.
It’s hard I know, if it helps I believed in him once
You are allowed with that one it's half timeI agree with needing reinforcements but it’s a bit far fetched to think we can’t make top 4 without them.
Are you referring to just transfer fees when you say £185m? Would you know the breakdown?
Or does this include wages also?
That’s coming from you?
Do you really think they did not know this?Also why wasn't United informed of the contract till 2023 by the player's (Sancho's agent)?
What's your rationale?I've been saying this since the start of the season and I'll say it again. We won't get Harry Kane, we won't get Sancho, we won't get Ronaldo and we won't get Bale. What we will get is a couple of squad players and a youth player or two.

It means the same as anything else shall we not discuss any rumours? Or tweets from journalists? End of the day no one knows anything apart from the people involved in the transfer.I don't know why people always post this stuff. it means nothing

they mean a lot more than fecking betting oddsIt means the same as anything else shall we not discuss any rumours? Or tweets from journalists? End of the day no one knows anything apart from the people involved in the transfer.
Yes.
That’s coming from you?
its ok just let it slide. I know deep down you don’t trust him as much as you did.So you have the tweet to his contact or no?
You can't talk about credibility - you pretty much said you'd wait for the press conference to know one way another. A press conference by a chronic liar
Dortmund said there was no negotiations and today said they won't comment on negotiations that took place. So does that mean it's a blow to their credibility too? You need to give your head a wobble
Don't think they do matethey mean a lot more than fecking betting odds
Erm. I dont think anyone has ever said we were after any of those, or if anyone even wanted them.I've been saying this since the start of the season and I'll say it again.

Clearly we can multitask between an oh so crucial game and oh so crucial signing that’s still pending ...Yes.
Not a chance. This is the moment where impatient fans come to terms with reality and that’s good for the long term on this forum.Mods:
Can we lock this thread for a day or two??
It's getting rather toxic in here, lots of whining, crying and a full on meltdown.
People bashing Woodward and saying how cr*p we are, how we're not signing anyone etc etc
It's embarrassing.
Need time to just chill out and let the dust settle.

Surprised so many of you took the bait... This was a somewhat tongue in cheek post/comment upon the pre-season wank-fest of the British media who had us in for Kane, Sancho, Ronaldo, Bale and just about every attacking player in Europe who is even moderately good, and a lot of decent defenders too. By mid-season the press seemed to have forgotten Kane and Bale but a couple of weeks ago Ronaldo was brought up from the back boiler when the talks of a move to PSG came about and just this week Bale's problems at Madrid had him "eyeing a move to Manchester". Now you know, I know and just about every one else knows that Kane, Ronaldo and Bale were never serious targets due to cost and age. I'm sure that Sancho won't be here either, based on past experience. Someone called me lad, earlier, and yes I was but a young lad when I first started supporting United, which was May 25th 1963 (ask your fathers. kiddies) so I've seen many a transfer speculation feast and it's true would love to have seen some of these great players at OT. But it was not to be...And the post of the year award goes to........
What happens when he's injured?Greenwood is a monster. Im more than happy seeing him start on the right all season for us
I'd have Bale.Also - Absolutely nobody wants Bale at United lad.

Completely against locking this thread.
That would be a disaster. Worse than Alexis.I'd have Bale.
Seems a nice chap. Unassuming.
I love that you have 808 posts in 16 years and have used one of them on this gem. Thank you Barry Red - I'm guessing you'll be telling us the Messi deal will not go through at post 909 some time in 2023.

Embarrassing for whom? Why are you embarrassed? Wanna talk about it?One bit of seemingly "bad news" and all hell breaks loose.
It's embarrassing and some fans need to get out of the FM/Fifa world that they live in and realise that transfers are hard work and especially this one where there is millions upon millions of pounds at stake.
It's not as simple as they think
Nah, he'd do alright.That would be a disaster. Worse than Alexis.
It's embarrassing for them, it's embarrassing to readEmbarrassing for whom? Why are you embarrassed? Wanna talk about it?

So just sell Pogba for €40m.This will be done in the end. Players/talents should take notice though. It’s hard as feck to leave that joke of a club. Avoid.
Same as when Sancho is I suppose.What happens when he's injured?
