Our fans are weird.
We had years of people saying our managers were not backed, yet he backed him by actually signing the players he wanted. Instead of praising him, people are now judging him for these signings not being "his signings", despite the fact that that's what you all wanted.
He gets all of them in , 6 in total.
Instead fans are now shifting the goalposts, using journalists to Guage transfers that didn't actually occur. A lot of the transfer news may have been speculation. The Rabiot deal may have been him looking to get 2 midfielders in. Yet, despite getting these players in, he still gets blamed somehow. City, Liverpool and Chelsea all made deadline deals, Pool and Chelsea in a state of panic, yet barely a word from the media. If we had signed Aubameyang or Zakaria or Arthur, the people complaining on this thread would have called Murtough far worse.
It feels almost like people here expect perfection, that every deal will go smoothly and backups won't be needed. They have no idea how to guage the actual job of a DOF yet pretend like they do. We are United, we are always in the news. Media folks always speculate and make assumptions about our plans and it will always be a headline. Yet for us, it's always seen as a brief or a negative spin. This window was a clear 9/10 and could end up being greater in time.
