errm no, people wanted them last summer....and the summer before that. you cant just write off what happened last year.

By no means am I writing off last summer. It turned out bad.

But don't be changing the goalposts now; we're talking about this window, and LVG, Woodward and the club will be judged on the entire window, not the 4 weeks before it's even opened. Don't be trying to twist my words.

this is the second time youve posted this and ill repeat the answer i gave you back then - there is a difference between what the club needs and what we should expect them to deliver.

we need at least 4 world class players to close on city and chelsea but the club seems incable of delivering this going on whats happened in the last 12 months added to the fact that time is not on our side with the WC. we all HOPE they deliver, but the likelyhood is they wont.

I agree the club needs the players. I don't agree they have to be massively world class; Shaw would be a major step up for us but wouldn't be "World Class". I'd like WC players but unless we're about to start splashing silly money, that's not happening. However I've never once denied we needed players.

I disagree on the idea that everything has to be done quickly, and I wouldn't be of the opinion that internet users know better than LVG when it comes to signings. I am 100% confident LVG will bring in the players he feels are needed to win the league, even if they aren't the biggest stars or the players we all want. I trust LVG.

there is more information coming from the club since he took over than ever before and alot of this is being apportioned to Woodward.

maybe, just maybe the press, fanzines and other people dont like him because he is not a very likable person? the only place i see people defending him is on here.

He could be the biggest ***** on the planet for all I care. He wasn't appointed to be liked by the fans.

As for "more information"....one thing I like so far is we're getting less info this summer since Moyes went and LVG was signed. No fawning over players, no confirmation of bids. Every major link between us and a player is now dismissed. The journalists are blatantly having to resort to making up stories, and we've been linked to 100+ players as a result. The "leaks" have dried up majorly since we appointed LVG, thankfully.
