Dont think any United fan can defend this now.Fair play, lots more monitoring going on.
The people that defend this shit
MEN: Manchester United step up transfer activity after Crystal Palace defeat
- Thread starter #07
- Start date
More often than not our transfer windows are normal with the exception of Moyes and I would say this summer. The others we signed players early and some late but with good reasons for example Falcao asked to be transferred late, Martial's sale was linked to Monaco not qualifying for the CL group stages, Di Maria was at the WC and then waited for PSG to find a way to sign him. We haggled for Maguire and Bruno which is common even if frustrating from the outside.
Maybe the board just lacks fitness due to the lack of pre-season?
Liverpool striding to number 20 and 21, and a 7th European cup. Manchester United are said to be monitoring the situation
Or we can look at the last 10+ years of poor transfer business and logically see and comment how how badly the club is run instead of putting our heads in the sand. It's not losing your mind it's analysising a situation and coming up with a logical conclusion.
‘Warchest’ headlines coming in 5, 4, 3...
Gotta love journos. Mirror vs Express headline..
Do you want a short class in football finance and relevance to particular owner interests or are you up to speed on the difference between Roman Abramovitsj, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan and the Glazer family as sport club owners?
Do that and you will realize that there is nothing special with our transfer business. More often than not we have had our new players before our preseason tour in the first half of July. The main outliers have been this summer and Moyes' summer.
If you really believe the way we do business is the same or as good as other clubs in the market right now then we will have to agree to disagree
We need more than Alex telles...I hope we sign him cause we need more quality at full back,but we desperately need another top class attacking option.The difference between our front 3 and our reserve 4 in our attack is just huge...
I believe that you are overrating other clubs, probably because you logically focus on United. But do the comparison elaborate on it.
Donny, Telles and probably Sarr now I reckon.
None of them bad players and definitely improvements on some of the dross we have. But definitely won't be enough to appease the transfer muppets no doubt.
Who wants league tiles anyway? Top 4 Cup is where the actual excitement is. Hahahahaha.

This Sarr thing is mental. Never seen the Caf create a link completely out of thin air and so many people are buying into it.
To be fair it was in the Sun and Dailystar, the caf didn't make it up.
Yeah, it has looked poor to me for the most part. Some decent signings under Ole, especially Bruno of course, but can’t help thinking we overpaid. Before Ole it was terrible and this window has been pretty disappointing.
City and Liv have done better business than us and also Chelsea. Most other clubs got more bang for their buck than us, I’m sure. From the outside we look a shambles.
Let’s not forget that with the Bruno signing it was 6 months too late, and even then we still made a meal with it.
People make out the Bruno signing (although being a fantastic signing) to be a master stroke but we were lucky no other clubs took him from under our noses in all honesty. Weren’t Spurs pretty close?
It was pure incompetence yet again.

I also heard from various ITK's we've moved from "monitoring" various situations to "closely monitoring" various situations. Strap on your seat belt kids!
Completely reactionary club. We really are the worst run club in the world. We have overtaken Milan and Barcelona.
You're being unfair to Milan here
They're just broke. Us and Barcelona are by far the worst run of the top clubs.I took a bit of break for most of this camera and holy shit still no closer to a DoF? United will never win another title under the Glazers.
Could have been Thiago, Alaba and Sancho
MEN is as noteworthy as the sun or daily star
How the mighty have fallen, twas once a friend dropping in, now it's a friend shitting through your letterbox.
Out of those, I think the caf is the most reliable source.
United thinking about raising the leg to step up to the plate while preparing to do by engaged the abdomal muscles.
no but really, I hope it’s true but also if you think about it it’s such a knee jerk reaction. I hope it’s true so we can get what we should have gottena month ago but the fact the reaction comes out of one loss and not us struggling to have depth over a full season and a RW for years is just weird.

Absolutely stoked that Matt Judge has actually switched his phone on
I want Manchester United's transfers to be managed by people who understand football. If we don't have money to buy Sancho then we had to move on to other targets months ago. If we pretend to be the biggest club in the world we should match this high standard but in reality we look totally incompetent.
Neither Telles or Sarr look particularly exciting based on the clips I've seen.
Telles looks to be all about end product which can be brilliant or misleading for a fullback making the jump to a top league at the age of 28. If it works out he could definitely be useful going forward.
Sarr seems to be very highly regarded on the caf but while he looks to have pace and strength, I wasn't able to see any supposed top class ability. Appears to be someone you'd want as your second choice RW rather than the one to elevate your team. But I guess beggars can't be choosers. Our options on the right are dreadful
We could just play a second string the entire season so at least it ll be understandable of we end up in the middle to bottom half of the table. That way we ll truly expect little but can be positively surprised.
The problem is that last time we turned the heat up on Woody and co, we had fans in the stands, something which is not an option now.
Moaning online wont get noticed either as i doubt Woody reads the caf.. But in case he does
Woodward you cnut, sign some players please
Manchester United board are a pack of idiots but there is one thing I find fecking laughable about Ed Woodward. It's that he considers himself the director of football when Patrice Evra told the world how he left. The guy has no fecking clue. Probably thinks Lionel Messi is Brazilian
If that happens it will be the same again. Out of the champions league, hire Pochettino, back him in the 1st season to get champions league then don't back him once it's achieved. Rinse and repeat. Absolutely fecking irritating
Close, I think he’s waiting for the last day to maybe sign Telles to try and placate us.
Exactly. Ole outers are going to be the enemy too now.
Even if Ole isn't the guy, we need to get Woodward out first. No more sacking managers and him getting away with it.
I think, its Ed's brilliant strategy for the window.
Make us so desperate, that when we sign the DM from Indian Super league on Oct 5 for 250k, we will hail him as master negotiator.
Just you wait and watch
We've heard it before from others, even some that work for the club. It's either that he wanted to make a name for himself or he's conveniently took that role to align squad building vs lining the Glazers pockets/profits.
I admit I went for the manager the previous 3 times but not this time. The board are the problem and Manchester United fans should go for them. I am sick of manager's being sacked and the board getting away with it. Ole may or may not be the right guy but he is not the main problem.
Joke of a club. Takes an embarrassing defeat for them to see what we saw at the start of the window. No ambition, no future.
We've already got millions of fans online asking for Ole's head. Most clueless fans in the world.
We been down this road so many times now. Poch comes in and nothing will change. Woodward Judge and the parasites will continue to mess things up and bleed us dry.
Imagine the scenes if and when they do finally sell the club. It will rival the feeling when we last won the CL. That's how bad they've been for us.
