Well it looks like we are finally in the end game for De Jong, so with that in mind should we wait it out for his other targets like Timber, Martinez & Antony if they are the right players
My point is should we wait it out whether that be January or next summer for the right targets or just go for alternatives this summerWait until when? Next season? And do what this summer — sign nobody?
Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet.What is this thread trying to say.

I'm not sure we really have that luxury with so many players who've left. Maybe if he's his heart set on a particular player who we can get by without in the short-term and we've loaned them back to their club until after the WC but apart from that I don't see it being a good idea.My point is should we wait it out whether that be January or next summer for the right targets or just go for alternatives this summer
Gotcha.My point is should we wait it out whether that be January or next summer for the right targets or just go for alternatives this summer
Yeah that sums it up perfectlyPatience is bitter but its fruit is sweet.
Using that theory you’d never sign a player from a smaller clubWhy do you want us to sign Ajax players when we should be better than Ajax?
Got to admit I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned more, as so far all we really been linked to are his ex players, which seems a bit odd to me.Why do you want us to sign Ajax players when we should be better than Ajax?
Ordinarily it would seem odd to me also, but if he has identified (correctly, in my opinion) that there are issues with mentality in our squad, he may be thinking that he is better to choose players he trusts and who he thinks will have no issues in that department. If that is the case, it makes sense to me.Got to admit I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned more, as so far all we really been linked to are his ex players, which seems a bit odd to me.
You wouldn’t think it odd if you read his past history. He always brings a player or 2 from his previous club so that they can help get his ideas across quicker. Plus he obviously trusts them.Got to admit I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned more, as so far all we really been linked to are his ex players, which seems a bit odd to me.
Most likely, he will also need a good core of players on his side right from the off, and given our recent transfers it's probably a safer way to go, it also won't take much for them to improve us, so I do understand, it's just surprising it's not more of a discussion.Ordinarily it would seem odd to me also, but if he has identified (correctly, in my opinion) that there are issues with mentality in our squad, he may be thinking that he is better to choose players he trusts and who he thinks will have no issues in that department.

It’s not difficult brother. He’s saying should we trust ETH and wait for his priority signings or just go for different targetsWhat is this thread trying to say.
Probably end up looking stupid but feel this will change after his first windowGot to admit I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned more, as so far all we really been linked to are his ex players, which seems a bit odd to me.

Im not worried because the players all linked are better than what we have in the same position
Perhaps we have actually locked the rumours up tighter than Fort Knox at ETHs requestYeah I've read that, but he already has DVB here, and we need alot more than 2 players, so it's just interesting that there are virtually no links to anything but ex players.
I think Ajax were better than us last season - I don’t think there’s much wrong with taking their best players in areas we are also weak.Why do you want us to sign Ajax players when we should be better than Ajax?
It's because the club again have zero plans despite knowing for months and months who is leaving and what we needed in terms of positions filled.Probably end up looking stupid but feel this will change after his first window
I've said for a long time that it's irrelevant who our manager is, the shit trickles down from the top. The club is screwed until they get someone in charge of things like this above the manager, because this will keep happening.It's because the club again have zero plans despite knowing for months and months who is leaving and what we needed in terms of positions filled.
Yet we are again going after the wrong players, because we are desperate once more.
It's just not acceptable
Not sure it's that odd really.Got to admit I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned more, as so far all we really been linked to are his ex players, which seems a bit odd to me.
100% this. He needs a core that believes in him and know what he wants. I do believe Man Utd needs a CF. ETH wanted (at Ajax) a player the can receive the ball, hold it in possession and link it to the wings. He also needs to be man the is always on the rigth place. I am unsure ronaldo can perform in that roleI absolutely desire ETH getting all players needed for football puzzle of his liking. Since he's appointed, he should be trusted on this.
Wait it out ? Sure. It will take some time and it can feel boring, however system manager without system players will be left for dead a bit. Press will murder him and then part of already furious fanbase will demolish his grave.
ETH's findings on the market while being Ajax manager (Tadić, Alvarez etc.) suggests he's able to find proper players outside Eredivisie.

Our track record of improving players is appalling, so one from a smaller club is fine, but when we’re discussing 4 or 5 in one go, all from the same club, that doesn’t sound promising.I think Ajax were better than us last season - I don’t think there’s much wrong with taking their best players in areas we are also weak.
Literally everything can happen, including deadline day. Signing CF is not so distant concept, especially with countless, supposedly reliable twitter accounts, proving they can't see whole picture and magnitude of Ten Hag's changes, incoming.100% this.

Reports were the transfer list we had planned was thrown out, however there have been many stories that United going forward had planned to do more investigation and what not in to the character of players and backgrounds, an aspect they feel like they have failed in the past.Yeah I've read that, but he already has DVB here, and we need alot more than 2 players, so it's just interesting that there are virtually no links to anything but ex players.
