Fulham can have him then?

Loan FC
Probably meant police enquiries
We've been waiting for FFP to hit clubs like City and Chelsea for years and yet we are the ones having the problems instead. Unbelievable. Embarrassing trying to loan players left and right.
Loanchester United
I'm struggling to think of any good options we could get on loan. Also our forward options haven't changed since we got Hojlund. Why weren't we chasing a second striker than rather than waiting to the final days of the window?
Return of the Weg 
This is hilarious, ridiculous and yet completely believable
We buy, overpay the club, overpay the player, sell at a massive loss. Who else does this?
This is from his article about Teden Mengi joining Luton Town on loan. Regardless, he's banned in here for being incredibly unreliable and acting as more of an aggregator.
So we splunk an ungodly sum of money on a player we don't need and then have to resort to bargain basement loans for a position that we're light in. Hmm sounds about right. (Same as last year when we wasted 90m on Antony before finding the cheapest possible striker).
Aubameyang or Danny Ings incoming
It never made sense which is the reason I didn't believe these reports from the start.
Tomorrow 12pm is deadline right?
It’s Fri 1st September at 11pm, UK time.
We’re a joke. Glazers and senior management have ruined us, but we’ll be back. It’ll get worse before it gets better. We’re in for a long season.
11pm Friday 1st September.
What a mess of a transfer window, utterly embarrassing.
Still cannot believe Bailly, Martial and van de Bench have not been shipped off permanently, I don't think we can get more incompetent if we tried. Can't wait to see what positive spin the club try to put on it.

Murtough out.
He didn't have the money
First and foremost, GLAZERS OUT!
Wout reUnited
What's he supposed to do? Magic up money?
Yeah if that's what you took from that. I mean a more basic game plan will work. International tournaments are fun but they're not the pinnacle of the game.
He had loads of money and he could have had even more if he had sold Maguire and McT. The chunk he had was badly spent. Even if Mount comes good it just wasn’t a priority position to invest in when we’re light in other areas.
Thing is, Ten hag clearly rates Mct to be a squad player and if you think about it, there aren't many clubs with midfielders available that can be certain improvements on him.
Maguire needed a settlement and refused to leave without asking for higher sums.
Murtough didn't buy him and put him on stupid wages, so I don't really put blame on him. He is operating the best he can after inheriting a lot of overpaid bloated players that need to be offloaded.
Exactly, it's a consequence of what preceded him, with the incredible Mr Ed.
We are where we are I'm afraid in this window, and spend restrictions will ease in future years. Or maybe we could ignore regs and do a Chelsea who will breach FFP in 2 year's time and hope they get off with a fine and escape a points reduction ........... I'm sure Todd Boehly will have factored that into his near 1bn budget spend: I mean, what's a trifling 60m fine, when you're spaffing billions around.
Well he could have not spent the vast majority of it on a player whose best position is not an area we're weak in that had 1 year left on his contract for £60m; another £70m+ on a young striker that, while talented, has never scored more than 10 goals in a season, was injured and going to miss at least our first 3 matches when we had no other fit striker; and spending £50m on a goalkeeper when we had one willing to take a wage cut is also looking questionable when considering just how little money we had to spend (not criticising Onana, who I feel will be good for us, just the planning around it).
Also, spending double the fee he should have on Antony last season while also deciding to multiply his wage 10X, putting us on the borderline of breaching FFP and limiting our ability to buy players we need in the future, probably wasn't the wisest decision.
What is John "Nutmegger of Figo" O'Shea up to? Could he cover LB, CB and CM for a spell...
Can't believe you're absolving the guy of blame, he literally handles all our transfer negotiations ffs.
Would he have to 'magic up' more money if he spanked a boat load of Qatari up the wall and we still find ourselves languishing 20 points behind City, or would you actually sit up and take notice that the guy is completely out of his depth and should have never been hired?
I remember when he played in goal for a spell in a game, and actually saved a shot! Perhaps we could, as some people find the Onana signing a waste of money, have stuck him in there instead?
Good summary. This transfer window is the worst since selling Ronaldo. 2/10
He’s inherited a shit show no doubt but you move on from that by investing wisely window after window. You see your budget and buy accordingly. You don’t waste it on Mount and then go try sign a midfielder on loan for £2 million two days before the transfer window ends. That’s bad planning and that’s down to him.
Here we go with the bollocks about wasting money on mount. Mount was a key target, first choice in midfield. Wanted by Liverpool and Arsenal let alone us. He was not a waste, he's barely been here a minute fecksake.
I’m looking forward to the usual suspects in here that provide the positive spin year in year out.
Auba already was moved to OM.Aubameyang or Danny Ings incoming
Yeah I agree with that. But it is still very competitive, and many teams are set up well (not England).
I never thought id see the day Manchester United are having to act in the market like i used to in FM, after i had drained the transfer budget and toggled the wage budget to its absolute max, and was offering 750k upfront with clauses coming out my ears over 5 years, just to sign a back up player.
