He doesn't negotiate.The thing is even if we were to get Bruno we still need a striker desperately too.
But Ed can't seem to try to negotiate for more than one player.
Multitasking is not his forte!!

Le'ts just wait two years for wolves to sign him on the free, and then try to buy him from wolves for 90 mil.We should tell them to feck off if that’s the case. Let them keep him and he be pissed off for the next 2 years.
From what I hear they’ve identified their next target. This will screw them if they start fecking teams about
Wish he would do something, This is getting worse every day. Just don't know what to believe, and we are getting worse at negotiating deals than ever. Driving me Looney.I don't get this from Woodward, what does he think he is doing.
If Sporting want more and he doesn't want to pay, leave it and secure another target. That is the only way to show a club we will not be taken for mugs.
Waiting on Sporting to come back accepting an offer knowing come 2 days before the window Ed will just go and pay the money.
We need to be brave here and decide if it is worth it or not. If they don't accept move on and get another player in.
I don’t think we are in a strong enough position to back out, just got to face facts that every selling club know Man Utd are desperate and whether it’s this deal, the next one or the next few we are going to get bent over each and every time.We should probably back out of this, or we already did most likely and the club are leaking fake rumours as reported. Too complicated and expensive, too many fingers in the pie and they all add millions to the fee. We should have focused on other targets, but I guess we won't make any signings this window.
Well no, not if we show some strength and bollocks now and walk away. No point saying "ah well we've started now might as well finish, take the wife and the kids!".I don’t think we are in a strong enough position to back out, just got to face facts that every selling club know Man Utd are desperate and whether it’s this deal, the next one or the next few we are going to get bent over each and every time.
Don't believe all the media. If this is not done by weekend, Then I think we will pull out.We should probably back out of this, or we already did most likely and the club are leaking fake rumours as reported.

No offence mate, but you seem to believe every report that comes outDon't believe all the media. If this is not done by weekend, I think we will pull out.
When did I say I believed. Only when a player is signed do I believe. I might say what I read in the media just to start something here, but that is no proof I believe it.No offence mate, but you seem to believe every report that comes out
Yeah, it is a shambles how we go about business. But this has been like that for a few years now, AWB was a relatively easy deal, Maguire was relatively easy, same as James and look how long those deal took.Wish he would do something, This is getting worse every day. Just don't know what to believe, and we are getting worse at negotiating deals than ever. Driving me Looney.
I coined that pages ago but feel free to spread itHe's just a Portuguese Darren Gibson.
You're probably right on that, actually but it would be my guess that Woodward has the final say. He certainly takes the credit for any (moderately) successful transfers we've done, yet will shy away from any criticism, from our mostly terrible transfer deals.Woodward doesn't negotiate the transfers. Don't know where this myth has come from.
Matr Judge negotiates the transfers.
Think it is something to do with Mendes wanting a slice of the cake now, mate.Listened to this yesterday, saying something about the banks being involved and them getting a cut of any deal done. throws a spanner into the works
Yes, Sporting had a re-structuring a little while ago which means a certain % of any big sale goes towards that. In addition, his last club in Italy gets a % as well. So its probably why Sporting needs quite much for him to actually get a decent amount.Listened to this yesterday, saying something about the banks being involved and them getting a cut of any deal done. throws a spanner into the works
I think Fellani had his uses, late game target man for one. I would also prefer him to Pereira.If you think Fellaini was a ‘loss’ then it highlights our problems.
Oh you mean how we extended Jose's contract and then did not support him in the window which just causes us to lose more ground in the League and again is 100% Woodward's fault.We are in desperate need of players, a good piece of business could secure us top 4. I honestly think that if we do no business, it's the first clear sign that Woodward has lost confidence in Ole and is lining up a replacement.
A scenario which highlights the incompetence in how the club is being run.
"......and Babel, in whose name men built a tower."This is the absolute pinnacle that has ever been reached on RedCafe and I really can't see it being bettered either.
19] Then the Kopites made an idol of Raphael, and cried out that he was the saviour, and by his mighty sword they would come forth in the land.
20] But in the end they came fifth.
That particular passage is without doubt the funniest thing I have ever read online, I absolutely lost it the first time I read it.
Oh Christ! Hope your palms haven’t got blisters and callouses. It’s been that longFernand-yes? I’m on the vinegar strokes here lads.
If we did that the next club we start flirting with will know we are even more desperate then and the cycle will start again, we just got to face it and know we either pay a bit more than we would like until we are back in a stronger position.Well no, not if we show some strength and bollocks now and walk away. No point saying "ah well we've started now might as well finish, take the wife and the kids!".
I think if it's not done by the end of month, we won't sign him in this transfer window.Don't believe all the media. If this is not done by weekend, Then I think we will pull out.
If this isn't done by the end of January, we won't sign him.Don't believe all the media. If this is not done by weekend, Then I think we will pull out.
Certainly not this window, I agree.If this isn't done by the end of January, we won't sign him.
If it isn't done by September we won't sign him next window either I feel.Certainly not this window, I agree.
I think if it's not done by the end of month, we won't sign him in this transfer window.
Naturally.I think if it's not done by the end of month, we won't sign him in this transfer window.
Ha haIf this isn't done by the end of January, we won't sign him.
That's a bit obvious.If this isn't done by the end of January, we won't sign him.
I'm not saying he's our saviour and the solution for all our problems. Some players can take everything from 6-12 months to adapt, while some just seems to do it instantly. Torres didn't seem to take much time to adapt and sadly performed perfectly for Liverpool from minute 1 even though he came from the Spanish league.If people think that he will come in suddenly and help us get the top 4 , then you are wrong.
Like Fred, he will take at least an year to even start performing at the highest level.
I have been asking the same question - when was the last time an attacker came from that League and made an instant impact in epl ?
Set your expectations right, guys.
OK, Matt Judge negotiates but Ed is always in the background so it's the same.He doesn't negotiate.
Spot on and Ed, the board and the owners can start by taking a pay cut. That could bridge the gap on this deal at least.If this isn't done, then we really need to start looking at the board. You cannot talk about a rebuild for so long then decide not to do anything when the time to actually build turns up. Make no mistake about it, this is not Sir Alex' United where could afford to wait idly for the right time and price of signings. For us, there has to be value in the market. We are supposed to be catching up, trying to get back to where we are. And the sooner we can do this, the better. We can't talk about that and talk about what we can do in the market, yet decide to miss an opportunity to fix one of the positions that we have and have consistently had trouble with over the last 6 years.
Signing less players because we signed badly prior doesn't make sense. Should we not be trying to sign more players to recover from the mistakes that we had previously made. We can't afford to go into another season with players like Pereira and Lingard playing regularly for us and cannot continue to struggle through this current season with the midfield as thin as it is. There is no excuse for it.
