He is only worth what someone is willing to pay for him of course, but the financial reality these days is that clubs like us just don’t need to sell our best players like in years gone by. If you don’t offer what we ask for then off you jog.

There's no need to delete them honestly, our fan base is in shambles already.
I guess I thought more people were able to identify the difference between a fact, a rumour and an opinion.
And we didn't think of that before hiring the pair? Any manager will fail if they don't get the right players in.
Wouldn't get in the XI ahead of Felipe Anderson, anyway.

Manchester United are prioritising a deal for Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka before they move onto other targets in the transfer window.
Sources have told the MEN a number of player representatives are in a 'holding pattern' as United continue negotiations with Palace. United have identified Wan-Bissaka, 21, as their ideal right-back target and already had two bids of £40million and £35m including add-ons rejected by Palace.
This makes absolutely no sense and would be a totally illogical way to proceed.
I have been searching the internet for two hours. I will take a brake and have a cup of tea 
Of course a manager will fail for that reason, but if the managerial choice may be wrong, we will have to wait and see for that, then there is more chance that they will lower the quality of players so much it could be disastrous.
It's been repeated a lot of times but final warning, that people will be permanently threadbanned from this if they keep on continuing to post random journalist opinions/or tweets which are frankly useless.
Tweets like this for example where the journalists overestimates his intelligence and is speculating.
Woodward is also the only executive that is routinely named when other clubs fail to secure a targets or are linked to ridiculous rumours they name the club and only the club. Clearly some journalists are exclusively writing for clicks coming from United forums and social media platforms.
I removed the Tweets with his speculation or opinion.
I also agree completely.
However, on the other hand, I am happy that Woodward gets bad press, even if some of it is perhaps unjustified.
It fuels a response from our fanbase and puts pressure on him to sort things out IMO.
So naturally, that's exactly what we're doing.

Precisely this. In no way am I sticking up for Woodward, but if you read the newspapers/twitter you'd think we're the only club who don't manage to get their transfer targets.
How many clubs missed out on Jovic & Mendy? I don't think we were in the race for them, but them simply signing for Real Madrid was seen as a failure on Woodward's part, more so than the other clubs who wanted to sign them, it's utterly bizarre. Like you said, they want the clicks and analytics that goes along with writing negatively about United.
That may well be enough.
Throw in Dybala with that and you have yourself a deal

"Yo, Gio! We don't think you're shit, we're just pretty broke at the moment but wait until we sell Eriksen and get enough funds to buy you."

That’s bad business for Juvetus. Dybala isn’t for sale and won’t be thrown in like some sweetener for sure.

New challenge indeed Mr Pogba.
See this is the issue. City get the deal done immediately. See that they need a defensive midfielder - done. See that they need a back up sub left back - done. Why can't United just do the same? Many top players available with affordable fees and we're allowing others to get them.
Les get him out, lets just move on. Its bad with him at the moment with the fans giving him abuse, its hardly going to improve now is it.
I wouldn't see they've got the deal done immediately. City have been linked with Rodri for nearly two months.
130m plus 100m add ons should be about enough. I'll be annoyed if we sell but getting over 200m would help us rebuild.
Indeed. The sweeteners on offer will be the midfielders that Pogba and Rabiot would be replacing. I'd guess Matuidi, Can, Khedira.
Ed Woodward didn't buy a centre half for Jose last Summer and now he's doing the same to Ole and unfortunately taking the piss out of all United supporters.
€230m! Nobody is paying that for Paul Pogba.
I think we'd be very happy with €140m.

We should absolutely be doing the same. Tall, strong and great on the ball. Apparently available for €35m or so, too.
He's a world cup winning captain with three years left on his deal at the peak of his marketability. If we only get the same as Liverpool got for Coutinho we should just stop calling ourselves a business. 180 plus add ons should be minimum to begin negotiations.
What in god's name are you talking about?
He’d want out by January.
They've been linked with him for two months or so.
Immediately? What? The player was mentioned in this thread two months ago as a City target and it still technically isn't a done deal. If the club names were changed throughout the 'saga' from City to United, the comments in the thread would be "ffs he has a release clause, why hasn't Woodworm* got this over the line yet?"
*or whatever other nickname is hip these days
It’ll be a test of how badly they want Pogba back
