I assume it was Grealish instead of VdB and Sancho instead of Pellistri/TraoreIt's a problem if he ever thought the club would be able to sign both Grealish and Sancho.
We really went for Reguilon didn't we, it was the clauses that scuppered it. It all comes down to money doesn't it. They have given him the cheap options.I assume it was Grealish instead of VdB and Sancho instead of Pellistri/Traore
Would’ve thought Telles was a preferred target though. Perhaps he wanted Reguilon more
I nearly spit my tea out reading this!Disneyland my arse more like Clacton-on-sea abandoned fair ground
Signing both Sancho and Grealish would've meant spending close to £200 million.Fail to get top 4 and get sacked. Achieve top 4 and don't get backed. Welcome to the Ed Woodward show.
Yeah and Maguire and AWB were one of those shirt selling signings by Woodward amirite?Moyes - none of his targets were acquired, apart from Fellaini hahaha
LvG - probably 50-50 I would say
Jose - nuff said about his latter years though he was backed in Year 1 with all 4 of his targets.
Ole - got Bruno but nobody else.
We have a track record of transfer failure with everyone except LvG
What does the stadium have to do with transfers?Disneyland my arse more like Clacton-on-sea abandoned fair ground
This is a completely stupid way of running a club and our fanbase are massively responsible for a lot of this stupid mentality.All this makes it obvious that the club are not behind Ole. They should either back him or sack him.
You think Maguire, AWB and Bruno had unsuccessful first seasons?Ole has got his top targets last year with Maguire and AWB.
First choice doesn't necessarily mean guarantee success.
Grealish has more to his game and the personality to be a creative leader in our team. He would have brought much more than VDB, imo. For that reason, the price wouldn't have mattered to me.I doubt many here would have liked signing Grealish for 80m instead of VDB for 40m.
Beside missing on a 120m attacker is hard to blame the board for.
If I would blame Woodward for something it's missing most of the summer waiting for BVB to miraculously lower their price demand. Once their deadline day was reached on Aug 10th, we should have immediately moved on to other targets.
I will agree with the VDB signing if Ole actually plays him more. Grealish is playing for his side and contributing so well. Ole is not doing Donny any favours by just sitting him on the bench. The next game will be interesting if he starts with Donny and Telles or still sticks with the ones who are letting him down. If he does, what was the point of making any signings?I doubt many here would have liked signing Grealish for 80m instead of VDB for 40m.

Maguire was already a target during Jose's tenure if I'm not mistaken.Yeah and Maguire and AWB were one of those shirt selling signings by Woodward amirite?
am really struggling to retain interest and support in this club. I feel like I'm submitting to something rotten and impure.Fail to get top 4 and get sacked. Achieve top 4 and don't get backed. Welcome to the Ed Woodward show.
Of course he will. That's the only thing Woodward knows. We are destined to be "a project" forever.Wonder if all our new signings turn out shit will Woodward sack Solskjaer then do the exact same thing next summer? I suspect he will.
For the money we have paid I would have expected them to perform at a higher level than what they have shown so farYou think Maguire, AWB and Bruno had unsuccessful first seasons?
The sad thing about this one is I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge by this point that SAF gift-wrapped the Thiago transfer for Moyes and all he had to do was green light it when he arrived. If he had kept the backroom staff and signed that lad, he might have seen out a year.Moyes - none of his targets were acquired, apart from Fellaini hahaha
But it rhymes so it has to be true.This is a completely stupid way of running a club and our fanbase are massively responsible for a lot of this stupid mentality.
Forgot about those 2 actually! Though I'm not sure if Maguire was completely his idea considering we were just continuing on a saga from the previous year.Yeah and Maguire and AWB were one of those shirt selling signings by Woodward amirite?
