This.Buy a superstar midfielder you plum!
Makes sense though, Woodward will be keen to prove himself to the fan base.
We replaced Keane with Carrick.
That's madness.I would say it does make sense if Hernandez is leaving, given we'll be down to Rooney, an increasingly injured RvP and Danny "will he go or won't he" Welbeck
Probably the most quietly brilliant signing of those couple years. A midfielder with the ability to just keep supplying the ball to an emerging Ronaldo - and none of the ego to potentially interfere with the portuguese's rise in the pecking order.
That's because the Caf hears rumours that Ed Woodward has his chosen ones and briefs them things.
It doesn't matter even if he does, he could be easily feeding them with lies intentionally.
Let's hope this is all PR from Woody, trying to make us sound like we are still big players. Surely no one can be stupid enough to spend massive money in any area that's not midfield, even if RVP is leaving or something.
Weren't you devastated when we tried to sign a midfielder last summer though?
It was a scintillating piece of news to him that we brought Fellaini. Was devastated that we tried to sign Thiago, Fabregas, Herrera and every other good midfielder instead, I think.
I'd happily get that sorted now, and tell the new manager "this is what you've been left to work with, deal with it."Don't worry, apparently our new manager will be able to veto these deals before they're finalised.I posted a couple of days ago signing players without a manager isn't that big a deal.
I take it back. This would be retarded.
We know our weakest areas and where we'll be left short because of players leaving. Why the feck would we spunk money up the wall on another striker without consulting our manager for next season?
Hopefully PSG tell us to feck off.
Fabregas, Shaw and a centre back though
I should hope so. Where's that from? Didn't see it in the Taylor article..
Ogden: "Attempts to bolster United’s squad will continue during the process of recruiting a new manager, with candidates advised of the club’s targets and offered the chance to veto any moves should they secure the job."
No I desired Thiago and Fabregas. Herrera not so much.
Some of the dross in this thread is just laughable.apparently he's going through a nasty divorce. off pitch drama often affects players on the pitch.
I'm surprised Kevin has time for stuff like this when Barry is ripe for a free transfer this summer.
This is me all over. Being linked to RvP was one of the most exciting sagas in a decade for me; especially after his world-class season at Le Arse.
