What does this even mean? Who's the so called hierarchy? I'm presuming they mean the scouts, who work alongside Ole? I mean, if they're still looking for targets still, they all need to be sacked. Targets should have been identified and worked on by now...which I'm sure they have.

People really lap these kind of reports up.
The hierarchy are the people in charge, Ed and others. I'm sure the targets are defined a long time ago, he's just confirming to go for them, in my understanding.

So what if he’s wearing a PSG shirt? Probably has an Argentine player on the back or just is wearing it as PSG kits are quite fashionable.
It's unprofessional. He is working for Manchester united. That's just common sense.

I don't believe for a second that we are doing our 'finding' now, days before the transfer window opening! Surely given our multitude of scouting network the short list is already drawn, it's not like every fan and his dog doesn't know what we are lacking?

The key may be in the wording, 'had' asked, which could suggest he has already asked. He may have asked for them and the suitable targets are not available now for whatever reason or Woodward may be trying to sign them now. I really hope it is the latter :)

Smalling is not comfortable with the ball at his feet. He passes to the closest player then backtracks like he’s playing hot potato.
Not anymore! He actually looks more comfortable and assured then ever! Which leads me to think his main problem at united was a too weak mentality

Or just a difference in style and pace of football, more time on the ball etc?
Time on the ball is more or less the same actually, but it's not just his ability on the ball. Every time i saw him play for you guys he played scared, like everything he did was desperate last ditch defending. Whereas this season he's looked calm and composed, always in control

Asked them to find him? This sounds all wrong and likely to result in players coming who either are on 1m a week or are too young and on only 300k a week.
That's how the system works...Unfortunately. Transfer committee makes short listed potential targets.
Ole then gives the go ahead to purchase specific target/s from the shortlist
Then Woody and Judge start negotiating if they agree with the recommendations.

England:
Probably Icardi, Di Maria or Paredes on the back. Dont see the fuss
It’s highly disrespectful. Would you feel the same if it was Pogba in a Real Madrid shirt?

You just don’t do that. Rojo is a stupid fecking idiot.

That’s the problem with these tweets, everyone gets far too baited by them

I don't think its disrespectful at all, considering he has already been told by Utd to find a new club in January. Of course it's different if it was Lingard or Rashford wearing a Liverpool T-Shirt while out at dinner with the wife.

You are correct, that's what it means but the way it's written it's shocking. It could read as though Ole and the scouting team are sitting on their hands and expect Ed and the board to search for players! Hahaha

Hope so. This quote coming from on of the biggest agents in football can't be good for business.
Basically he wants us to sell Pogba at a cut price as no one is ready to pay the 130-150 million we are asking. He ll get a fat cheque for that too

And that's exactly what is going to happen. We are always bullied in the transfer market.

Once Pogba leaves it will be difficult to get midfield reinforcements at a fair price because everyone knows we are in desperate need of midfielders. So we will sell Pogba for less.than his value, and pay top dollar for bang average.

Just for that, I hope we keep pogba for the next two years and let him go for a free. In that scenario, even he gets no agent fee as the player is available for free

I dont think you can compare Rojo with Pogba. Nevermind Pogba in a Real shirt.

Nobody gives a feck about Rojo. People are just outraged to be outraged. He will be gone in winter or summer anyway. It would be like Darmian wearing a shirt from another club while being on holiday last season. Rojo isnt in our plans anymore, he gets frozen out. Only a shirt from a PL club would be a no go, him wearing a gifted shirt from one of his mates from a French club is a complete non story at this point of his United career. Most on here would give him away tomorrow for free if given the choice. Anyone pretending otherwise has too much time on the internet.

How about a swap deal with Real. Pogba for Toni Kroos, Bale and Odegaard. Then we get one of the best wingers in the world, one of the best offensive midfielders in the World and one that could be the best nr 10 player in the world.
2 old guys and one young for Pogba. Is that a good deal or what?

Maybe he is secretly trying to manoeuvre a transfer to PSG :lol: :lol:

Realistically having been loaned out he would never come back in and become first choice and he wouldn't have gone out on loan if he was happy at the thought of not being first choice here.

We've seen every good and every bad in Chris Smalling at Manchester United. He's never going to be anything more than we've already seen. Get rid and finally end the saga of him and Jones being a part of our defence.
Fair enough. I just hope that if he goes the other 3 go too. Because he's better than them 3.moving them 4 on will surely get enough money in to buy one good centre half

He was interviewed live on SSN yesterday saying he has a good working relationship with Ed Woodward so who knows what to believe. Personally tend to believe him too as United have made him an incredibly wealthy guy. Why would he bite the hand that feeds him? Some clubs with cash, city for example, refuse to deal with him a lot of the time. Don't think liverpool do a great deal with him either but stand to be corrected on that one.

Pogba will always be an enigma though. There will always be an angle for the media to play sadly and it's why I'd like to see him moved on at the next convenient moment for the club (probably the summer) and then replaced with some top players who actually give it their all every week.
