I will get shot down but right now if Declan Rice is available to Chelsea I don't understand why we are not hijacking to cover Matic/CB
Wot, no transfers? It's all happening now!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Has anyone realised yet we have not bought ONE player this window that will come straight into the first team? A CB, RW, DM could have easily been bought to address these weaknesses in our XI but it has not been.
Our first XI is the same as last season. Let that sink in.

Yeah hard to feel any excitement when not even your heaviest home defeat for 9 years can spark a transfer reaction from the boardHas anyone realised yet we have not bought ONE player this window that will come straight into the first team?

So if we take the Sancho saga out for a bit.. and forget the Spurs game for now and not be reactionary..
VDB
Cavani - backup short term striker
Telles - backup ? challenging for the starting spot .. attacking LB
Some right winger -- TBD
Apparently several (what is it, 4-5?) really talented 16-18 year olds
And keeping Pogba
I would have been totally fine with that list in Aug.
The way it has unfolded has been shit.. and the awful Spurs game hasnt helped with the mood.. but that game was clearly a one off.. we have played much much better teams and not been anywhere near that bad..
Question. If we were open about Sancho not happening because the club lost ~150m unexpectedly and Dortmund were asking for too much.. and manage to get a RW in before the window closes, would you have been fine with it?

I know right. Arsenal are signing Paratey, he's perfect for us.I will get shot down but right now if Declan Rice is available to Chelsea I don't understand why we are not hijacking to cover Matic/CB

Exactly what the plan was. Sancho fable deal as 2 month distraction and then chasing crumbs at the end. Next year, very big possibility of exactly the same.Has anyone realised yet we have not bought ONE player this window that will come straight into the first team?

So if we end up with:
Dembele, Cavani, Telles, VDB, Traore, that in my opinion isn’t a bad window.
It’s just the context of how this happened.

Yeah exactly like letting Upamecano's release clause expire and hoping Dortmund would buckle on SanchoSo if we end up with:

Yeah, my sentiment too. Improvement in depth, young talents, improvement on leftback... We'll sign Sancho and a CB next year.So if we end up with:

Need to find a bargain there because IF Sancho was still on the market and interested in coming would be huge moneyYes.

Agreed or ideally Dembele morphs into a united legend and Sancho becomes a forgotten relic!Yeah, my sentiment too. Improvement in depth, young talents, improvement on leftback... We'll sign Sancho and a CB next year.
If we had Dembele sorted back In August we would have time to have gotten over Sancho and maybe quite pleased with our business.
Centre back is obviously vital.

Yeah does feel like Utd want the best of both worlds in Dembele on loan now and a chance to still get Sancho next summer, however all reports seem to suggest Barca are only looking to sell.Agreed or ideally Dembele morphs into a united legend and Sancho becomes a forgotten relic!

Cavani would have been a good transfer six years ago.
We are picking him up because we are a desperate club ran by incompetent people. Cavani has been a free agent for months and nobody has picked him up.

No chance with Dembele - total smokescreen! Cant see us blowing that much money on a over-rated winger........oh hang on!
Transfer window has been a shambles. Phil Jones, Rojo still at the club and not even in the match day squads or even near the match day squads. Cavanni is a desperation signing. Telles - Meh not overly keen tbh. Might be slightly better than Luke Shaw, but a 5 year deal?? What if he's shit? It has happened to us before.
Cannot figure out the Traore transfer - havent we just sent Chong on loan? And now another 18year old who wont play til Jan?
Dembele I cannot see joining us - he would be insane to do so. Might as well sit tight at Barca at least it doesnt piss down 75% of the time over there.

How many kids we bought this year? I am for buying top talents but we went overboard with that.
Left back, right back, 2 wingers, 2 strikers. Around 40 mil for them.

This is going to be a long long season for United fans . People forget that we were awful for 75% of last season and now most teams have strengthened . I think there is zero chance United finish top 4

We should've got Jarrod Bowen.
Not the same rush for that one. He's a freebie rather than a transfer, so doesn't need to be done tonight.When are they gonna announce Cavani deal at least ? Come on, at least give me something I'm excited about.

I wouldn't put our chances of finishing 4th quite at zero, but it can't be much more than 10%.This is going to be a long long season for United fans . People forget that we were awful for 75% of last season and now most teams have strengthened . I think there is zero chance United finish top 4
We're not a good side and our rivals look to have improved in this window, while we're squandered the opportunity.
The talk in July/August of pushing on and closing the gap to the top, now looks absolutely ludicrous, obviously. CL qualification is the only aim this season.

Absolutely piss poor transfer window. Shambolic. Worse than Fellaini debacle. At least we had a squad who just won the league in 2013.
