I read the last few pages and I saw the sky is falling in...

We have to wait and see how things progress or regress as it is with injuries, but you can be sure the club is working away on more signings.

It has been very disappointing but remember United have the finances and the deals to spend their way out of this mess.
The problem at the moment is the overall quality of the squad is not what it should be, and even though the club spent a lot of money in the past 12 months, they still need to spend a lot more.

We just have to wait and see, hope and pray....for the right decisions to be made.

Really? This summer is not exactly backing up your assertion.

In the last eighteen months alone, United have bought Fellaini, Mata, Herrera, Shaw and Rojo. Not for small amounts either. They have the money.

I did go onto say the quality of the team is not what it should be, and a lot more needs to be spent.
Since January over £110 million spent on four players, we need that again at least spent...

I didn't say we couldn't spend at all, I'm questioning whether we have the ability to spend our way out of this mess. The lack of a top cb or CM signing would indicate we are struggling to get the players we really need.

DiMaria and Khedira offically not in the squad tonight for Real.

And Sky Italia saying Benatia has told Roma he wants to go.

Would love one of them

Cant see any of them coming to utd

Those 3 players in our team would finally get us to the next level

I'd agree on the first two, not so sure on Benatia.

After spending 75m so far on 3 first teamers, I can't see us spending another 100m on 3 more tbh.

Its why I wouldn't be shocked to see Welbeck sold on; we'd get a decent return on a fringe player and hopefully invest elsewhere.

redbaron_99 · 22-08-2014 07:21PM

I think our patience will be put to the test over the next few months. Obviously there are deficiencies in the team\squad and it was going to be a struggle with a new manager. But with so many injuries to first team players, I can't see us making a challenge for top 4. The early part of the season will be a write off at this stage. Midfield situation is scandalous. Full back situation also scandalous. Head officially wrecked.

For anyone saying Woodward hasn't failed to sign any targets based on there being no talk of failed moves, can you let me know when vermaelen, hummels, muller and Vidal are due to make their debuts?

When has any even somewhat reliable source linked us with Hummels?
Just because fans say "We want Hummels" and he doesn't sign doesn't mean Woodward failed to get him, we were never in for him in the first place

twam2008 · 22-08-2014 07:23PM

My heads wrecked too. LVG has something up his sleeve, I'm sure of it. Mad genius!

True. I'm pretty sure hummels stated before the World Cup that he wanted to stay at Dortmund. The rest was muppet tweets and tabloid speculation.

Too many fires to put out even for LVG. Sir Alex would be really struggling in a situation like this.

I fail to see how not being in for the best available players is better than at least trying to sign them and failing.

Andy mitten considered one of the top guys for united news by the redit united forum, says he was a prime target. Along with every paper. But sure go ahead and ignore that cause it doesn't suit you.

You saying it matter of fact as you have means absolutely nothing. I'll trust people like mitten over you every day of the week.

I just think he's no shrinking violet, he won't put up with ****, he is mental, that goal keeper swap at the world cup was genius, he'll sort it out, don't think it'll be this year, but he will sort it out. As was said before, lot to change after Fergie.

Just getting to watch the press conference now, there is literally zero controversial or wrong about what Van Gaal says in it from my watching, I haven't finished it yet but so far I see a lot of sense being spoken and some pretty fair assessments so far.

Taking something out of context and saying Van Gaal said the first three months will be difficult and stuff like that might sound odd but when you actually watch it, see the questions, hear the answers then it is pretty clear.

Rojo knows what's up.

Or he's just as desperate as the rest of us.

Ah stop, would you. He has a squad that isn't up to scratch,
Struggling to get players in, and a very long list of injuries.

It's an impossible situation at the moment. What's he supposed to do?
There will be bad results. We just have to ride out the storm.

Edit: sorry lads.
Just a bit annoyed with the way things are going.
Still hoping we can get deals done for some top players.
