Yes, she is a very good negotiator.she is good at selling I guess

well I'm not sure about that. How was the negotiations for Werner, Kepa, Pulisic, Lukaku etc?Yes, she is a very good negotiator.
Give my shiny new toy and give it to me NOW!Still waiting for first addition in transfer window.
Yep. Best scouting department in the world!I am so glad we revamped the scouting department otherwise we would just be trying to sign players our manager has previously worked with
Nobody with half a brain would go anywhere near her right now. Far too close proximity to Abramovich and therefore Putin. Would likely blow up in any clubs face.Hope he can bring in Granovskaia as she left chelsea now.
No chance. She’s basically a glorified Abramovich secretary and nobody is touching a potential accomplice to someone who’s aiding in an ongoing war.Hope he can bring in Granovskaia as she left chelsea now.
It's poor because realistically the targets don't have any ridiculous hype around them. Imagine the contrast in negotiations for the likes of Bellingham, Haaland or a Tchouameni. With the exception of FDJ these signings are slightly under the radar they should be relatively straightforward.He is all over the place at this moment. As we know (of course by the rumours) our targets were Eriksen, Timber, Nunez, Antony and De Jong. Now even with player on free transfer he is involved in transfer saga.
Eriksen: waiting time
De Jong: will drag whole summer
Antony: Ajax want huge fee
Timber: refused to come
Nunez: we waited too long and Liverpool jumped in.
B plan? No signs that he has it. He was too slow on the market and we will pay the price. On one way or another (lose player or overpay).
And what to say about outgoings?
I know that it is easy now to be a general after the battle but from person on that job and on this level, i expect to make right decision. SO FAR he made lots of bad decisions. With Frenkie he is maybe having right approach (maybe) but for others he blew it. Bvb and Bayern finished transfers for Ajax players quickly and look at us. We were waiting, who knows did we even made a bid and now Ajax have cash and is reluctant to sell.It's poor because realistically the targets don't have any ridiculous hype around them.

I was sceptical too. Imo, for success you need best manager available and best DoF available. Those two will find best players for club.Tweet

It feels a bit strange that, only now, is the club realising that it may need to replace Matt Judge.
I mean, when he announced he was leaving, didn't the exec team discuss his roles and functions and come to a conclusion about whether Murtough could assume those roles or whether United might need to recruit?
I won't lie I've been sceptical about Murtough from the start. A lot of posters have replied that he's as qualified as X was when that person became a Director of Football. Its a good argument and not one you can ignore. However, the way things are going make it seem like United are behind the curve a bit.
You wonder if United wouldn't have been better prepared going into the summer with an experienced Football Director at the helm e.g., Paul Mitchell.
Said in another thread I just cannot understand why they’ve taken until now to being someone in. Are they out of their depth and parachuting someone in out of pure desperation. Is Judge working as normal until his final day despite having one foot out the door since April and not being much good in the first place.Tweet

Spot on well said how anyone can fall for that PR crap is beyond me. As soon as Ralf said we needed 10 players he was done for. The owners didn’t like he said that publicly because it was true.Isn't it amazing how folks convinced themselves that RR going was ETH decision cause it'd undermine ETH.
This was / is just the board shitting the bed due to his public statements at how bad the club is ran.
Murtough is an utter clown and yes man and now needs a different consultant to do the transfer work...signed up 3 days prior to pre season starting.
Anyone expecting a top half of the table finish is deluded. Things are gonna get a feck tonne worse this season!
Paul Mitchell isn't a Director of Football, or at least he isn't a very good one.Tweet

Glazers are the root but what did people expect when they appointed people from within? None of them have the CV to back themselves for the role. It was evident when Murtough came out with the idiotic comment suggesting that Ole deserved a chance to fix things. And then not buying anyone in January. Taking an eternity in sorting out the new manager.Maybe Woodward wasn’t to blame? We’ve changed the structure and personnel and nothing has seemingly changed. What hasn’t changed? The fecking parasites, the Glazers!
Woodward atleast got some deals over the line.The more this window progresses, the more it feels like woodward never left. This dude seems like the Rashford of DoF's, a lot of PR, absolutely nothing of substance.
The damage is long term unfortunately. That's the problem though, from the outside looking in we don't know how competent someone is until further down the line, for all we know the current lot could be shit too.Maybe Woodward wasn’t to blame? We’ve changed the structure and personnel and nothing has seemingly changed. What hasn’t changed? The fecking parasites, the Glazers!
Mitchell's currently Monaco's Director of Football. Whether or not he's a good one I guess is up for debate. He has experience though, which Murtough lacks.Paul Mitchell isn't a Director of Football, or at least he isn't a very good one.

Don't get Mitchell, get Rangnick or Paratici or Berta or Monchi or anyone. My point remains: I find it hard to believe United wouldn't be better off having appointed an experienced Football Director. Obviously I'm keen to be proven wrong and to be celebrating title 21 sometime soon. However, what's happening at the moment doesn't seem especially encouraging.
Given the bang up job he's done so far, it would have been preferable if he was inexperienced, right it just feels like we have hired a woodward who isn't even good at getting sponsorships.Murtough does not lack experience.
Mitchell is doing an absolute shocker of a job at Monaco and was the number 2 at Southampton and at Spurs. He’s not the transfer genius the CAF makes him out to be.
Do you think Glazers were the one advising United, to offer another contracts to Pogba and Lingard?Maybe Woodward wasn’t to blame? We’ve changed the structure and personnel and nothing has seemingly changed. What hasn’t changed? The fecking parasites, the Glazers!
He probably underestimated the scale of the task he would have this summer. The Deputy Director hiring they said would allow him to refocus all his efforts on recruitment for the first team but there hasn't yet been a noticable improvement in transfer efficiency. It was reported we wouldn't be replacing Judge with a like for like but it now looks like he might have realised he needs more help on that front.Tweet

The club doesn't feel like it has any kind of strategy. People were saying there were changes in the right direction, but all I'm seeing is this : people in charge who don't have a clue what to do next.Tweet
