Just as I was coming round to the idea Oh well. Better we don’t overpay for meh players, but it makes our front office look like absolute amateurs.
Well we are going for everyone now, he might be nextI honestly can't believe we aren't going for Mathias Nunes.
No. Sell Garner, loan Savage and Iqbal. There is only McFred. Forever.Can we at least keep Garner now?
If you believe the reports, we offered to match his Juventus wage, and he demanded a lot more. I don’t really mind that we’re not bending over but at some point you have to expect to get lubed up if you leave it this late.Didn't want the bloke, but my god. How do we keep doing this? Surely we knew his expected salary? Instead we've pissed another week up the wall.
What's the hurry lads? Take a couple more weeks and then decide that the budget is better off staying in the Glazers bank accounts.Hahah. This club is killing me.Tweet

4 months wasted on De JongI’m happy we won’t pay him stupid money but this is just ludicrous. He’s been available all summer - Juventus want him gone - why have we wasted 10 days negotiating with a player who’s demands we should have known before bidding?
He wanted more than Bruno and other top earners apparently hardly the wrong moveCan't even get Rabiot done
Learning on the job, same as Woody in 2013. By the time they have a slight clue how to do some transfers in a decade's time, they will leave for the next newbies and we are still a shamblesReports of Murtough flying to Turin to seal the deal will go down in infamy with Woodward's trip "for urgent transfer business" during his first summer in charge. In fact, this summer, with it's chase for a reluctant Barcelona midfielder, continues to have parallels with the ill-fated 2013 debacle. All that remains is a desperate, last-minute, ludicrous bid for an average midtable CM. Step forward Ruben Neves, for £80m.
Erm, what? I'm assuming this means next summers plans? We can't only now be finishing up our plans surely? Did Murtough only start working on this summer plans when the window opened? Inlept.Hahah. This club is killing me.Tweet

Yeah, no real "win" in this one. We criticise the club for overpaying for players/paying too high a wage and at the same time we also criticise them when were refusing to be held to ransom.Penny pinching? Rabiot is asking for too high of a salary.
Any other time and the club gets slated for paying "deadwood" or "average" players too much.
Jheeze.
How do you know the expected salary before you negotiate? They tried to reach a compromise but couldn’t do walked away. Lots have been moaning about our wages and how much we pay.Didn't want the bloke, but my god. How do we keep doing this? Surely we knew his expected salary? Instead we've pissed another week up the wall.
Keep Garner, move Ronaldo out, and sign nobody, it could be the best thing to happen.Can we at least keep Garner now?
Why this time?Laughing stock of a club
Not an awful suggestion, to be fair. He can pass a football and Juve reportedly want rid. I expect we'll have the same wage problem though - nobody is overly keen on joining United anymore and decent players will want some recompense for the step down in their careers (a mega salary).Lets go in for the other Juve/Barca reject, Arthur
I remember how good he was when he just signed for Barca...even though that was probably 4-5 years ago
No he wasn't the right bloke in the first place, hence the humour.He wanted more than Bruno and other top earners apparently hardly the wrong move
Surely this is something that should be done months in advance ffs
