Smell of a rat, more likely

How can any Manchester United fan who grew up watching the likes of Robson, Keane, Giggs, Cole, Neville, Rio, acidic, Evra, Beckham, Rooney, Ronaldo, etc., ever think that Martial’s mentality and attitude is suitable for the club? He’s a talented player hindered by his own lack of consistent drive.

This is not a pre-match conference……

One loss due to a red card and a brain fart. Let’s change the manager.

Possibly yes... or rather a plan that may have a bad outcome finally.

It's precisely because he's been a free agent and no one was going for him that we could leave it till the last minute. We likely thought the same for Sancho. The difference is one worked while the other didn't. Just because a plan failed doesn't mean there is no plan. Just because we conclude...

For people complaining that the club has no plan, the signing of Cavani illustrates that there is a plan. We have not signed our primary target(s) and we can debate the reasons for that in another thread, but there is always a price that buyers and sellers have and if the valuations are...

Why is this a panic buy? It’s precisely because he’s been free all summer that we can wait till the final stages of the window to sign him. Plus he is obviously not a RW so he’s part of squad depth and huge upgrade over what we have on the bench. I don’t get this narrative that some posters...

People love to complain don’t they? Why is this a panic buy? Just because you are hearing about it today doesn’t mean that the club haven’t been thinking or doing something about it. The club doesn’t have to report everything it does to fans. And people say there’s no plan? I see no need for the...

Players are assets and I would trust that bankers in these deals have a better clue of what players are worth in this environment more so than fans on the internet.

Was hopeful about this deal from the beginning and very confident about this happening. Nothing is certain of course but reckon probability is high that we sign Sancho at a price lower than Borussia’s asking. Woodward has played this well. No doubt BD’s financials have been scrutinised and...

Agree. By stalling I guess I really meant not responding to the noise coming from Dortmund and just keeping quiet and let the wait gnaw at Dortmund. Meantime, we should be bidding for alternatives.

Nice post. I think United have the upper hand in this negotiation by stalling. I wonder how much cash reserves of Dortmund is being drawn by this time since March. I wouldn't be surprised if they are currently drawing on their credit line already. The touted 60M upfront may be coincidental but...

Ole’s taken over a team under a toxic manager, low on morale and team spirit and in one season uplifted the clubs mood, starting playing more attacking Football albeit with some blips. He’s gotten rid of several deadwood and blooded youngsters who’ve done remarkably well. Key injuries to players...

I think a player might work harder for a manager willing to look silly on his behalf.
