More apt Taylor Swift line:
I knew you [Glazers] were trouble when you walked in

To quote Taylor Swift, you need to calm down.

Darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream - Taylor Swift
This is a great post that deserves a proper feedback from someone who has time. I'm on my way out the door, but I think I have a good answer to your last question.
Why bother worrying about it? In my opinion its relatively the same as why worrying about the result of a particular game. It all comes down to fandom. The fans are fans of both the players and the fans, and new players are exciting. It's like shiny new toys that will make the team better. It's absolutely understandable that a ton of fans will devote a lot of feelings and time about transfers when it so directly impacts the team.
But then again, I absolutely agree with your post, if only I could control myself
We're 6th.
We've gone 6/7 years without the EPL title.
We only bought fecking Dalot & Fred last season, both aren't great.
In fact, all our transfers have been relatively bad for quite a while now.
This was supposed to be the summer of change. Based largely on Ole's comments that a number of these players simply aren't good enough.
We all agree.
And we can all see the holes that need to be plugged.
Some have gone unaddressed for years.
It's like groundhog Day.
It has reached a point where I'd be happy if we just got rid of the dross without replacement & just play the kids.
And u want us to just stay silent & watch it all happen. Are we allowed to complain next summer?
The reason Real & Barca have such good squads is because their fans won't tolerate this nonsense. How long before we are the same?

Sorry to have to do this, but I'd like to quote a great poster who goes by the name @matherto
"It's a low bar but still, sick to the back teeth of watching the players we've got now."
You also want a couple of signings. People get desperate at different times.
Saying that, I'm all for bliss.

That's Eminem, not Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift - word.
Ah yes you're correct good sir. I always mix up the 2
"And lo, for it was a good day,
The Lord cast a light amongst the Muppets and decried,
'Shut it, you gimps. All aboard the hype train beansbeansbeans!'"
Lingardicus - Chapter 3, Verse 6.
At the moment that's the big hope for the new season- that the players are fitter and will run more. Ole's first ten games were great to watch and if we can maintain that form it will be a decent season. Have serious doubts about the quality and mentality of some of the players though and its frustrating to see some of them still around. How far into the season will we get the first Phil Jones mistake or injury (it was August last year)? Martial sulking/not running? Pogba looking anonymous for large parts of the game? Rojo making a red card challenge? I can see why people feel a bit fed up.
It isn't 'normal', it's spiked, childish and entitled. Yes we have structural failings, yes some transfers haven't worked out, yes some managers haven't worked out but you're completely ignoring the fact that we've attempted to rectify the situation.
We've signed young, promising players like Dalot, Martial, Shaw, Lindelof. We've signed established players such as Matic, Lukaku, Mata. We've signed players that are arguably world class, such as Pogba and Di Maria. We've had windows where we've brought in a lot of players, similar to Madrid now. We've tried hiring managers with successful CVs including one of the most successful managers in the game.
It hasn't all worked out but we've hardly been watching Barnsley for the last few years. It's a humbling experience but don't use hindsight to pretend that we haven't even bothered because we clearly have.
Can't believe Taylor Swift invented the phrase calm down.
I remember when such a similar thread was made just before the window opened. It was meant to be some sort of a joke. I remember saying then people wouldn't be laughing the closer we got to the season.
United and last minute signings are the name of the game under this regime. I have every confidence that it will be same again this year.
I'm not even bothered by it though.

She was born in 1989 you weirdo.
They're two phrases that she's tried to trademark, you mewling quim.
I had a dream once where Taylor told me I need to calm down. I told her to make me, and well, to quote her again "the rest is history".
Seriously though, I'm calm as and egg about 4th place, I've no doubt we could get that already with what we got. I just don't like that level of ambition, but even with another 3 top class signings I don't see how we're gonna end up with a triple digit points total, so for now I'm content with 4th being our goal for this season. I really don't like it though.

It’s unhealthy to repeatedly read opinions that you find unhealthy.
No she didnt. Taylor is the bomb.
Only 3 weeks to sign 3 players, and sell someone
Not enough time, I don’t see any transfer soon
So I can say that is the worst and miserable United transfer session of all time
Bissaka and James ffs

We’ll sign one more at best and my gut tells me we won’t even do that.
We need a central defender and midfielder desperately and then there’s still the right wing and striker to sort out.
I fell for the bullshit again, I was generally thinking this summer we be the one when we start to sort things out. Get rid of the deadwood and bring in 4-5 decent players but it’s just a massive farce.

Quoting scouse phrases on the forum. Tut tut
Oh, is the idea that we should party like her parents did when she was convinced?
Yep, and make our own little army of Taylor Swift's.
I am quite proud to say I don't know who Taylor Swift is. Is he a speedy clothes repairer?
