Only woodward knows
Wished we'd pinched Sakho. :v
I already have one, I love it <3
Going to get another home shirt, long sleeve this time with CL font and badge.
I am going to order my Ozil shirt as well.

I don't really rate Ba that highly but he could have been an adequate loan until the window re opened in the winter.
they need to recoup dat Bale cash
How has not one person at the club realised when all the media start reporting there's United employees in Spain has someone said "well hold the fuck on, no there isn't"?
I'm just fucking stunned at the ineptitude of it. So angry at the club.
United Rant ‏@unitedrant 1m
Summer recap: embarrased by Thiago, humiliated by Cesc, negotiated non-negotiable Herrera deal, overpaid on Fellaini, sent Coentrao fax late
Ok. Now I am DONE.
Edit: actually let me add some more.
- pretended to bid for Bale
- Ignored Ozil's availability.
I AM DONE.

Yea...wtf is this shit.
Woodward translation: He's too fucking cheap to pay the clause.
We could possibly have signed him if we hadn't overspent on Fellaini. If we'd signed Marouane when he still had his release clause then Herrera could have been a United player by now.
I hope he's a monster.
Like a young, spritely Kolo.
Okay that does sound yummy.

Don't know why ppl are blaming ed woodward. If moyes wanted fellaini man utd will have bid before he's transfer clause ran out. it's just an act of desperation because he thought he could get someone better but didn't
Gareth Bale

Would have cost a bit more than Chiriches.
This. Poor old Moyes.

Spare a thought for Shane Long.
Had to go to Hull for no reason.

Anyone?
Want to order it
Check your PM's in a moment.
He's good. Always a great buy in FM anyway.
We've done well. AVB needs to work his magic and get the lads to gel. Sooner rather than later.
Varela brah.
At least we got someone, means hopefully no more Jones in CM and less of others like Giggs.
I agree but Chelsea turned us down on the basis we are rivals. Not much you can do about that.
Özil transfer is a huge mark of intent though. January and the summer transfer window will be very interesting for Arsenal.

Those Man Utd imposters have been identified on twitter allegedly.
It was Gill and Fergie on the piss
On the subject of strikers I think it's a shame we let Joel Campbell go out on loan again, seemed like a good prospect.
Surprised we didn't try to bring Vela back either he's doing well at Sociedad and we have a cheap buy back clause for him. I think it would have cost less to pick him up than taking Ba on loan for the year.
Oh well hopefully we bring somebody in during the January window, I don't think we need a world class striker anymore (Giroud has come on leaps and bounds) but we do need a plan B for when he gets knackered or is injured.

Have West Brom actually got a striker?
PM me too, PR Cat!
Moyes isn't the one with the chequebook.
He would have identified targets and Woodward went down the list trying to buy them as if they were Cat C writeoffs and eventually ended up with Sideshow Bob. Maybe.

Sky really scraping the barrel now. IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY THE PREMIER LEAGUE WOULD HAVE SPENT IF ALL THE DEALS MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER THAT DIDN'T GO THROUGH... DID!

Dan pls
Oh, I don't know. R. Madrid got rid of Kaka, got Bale in. Arsenal get Ozil and Levy get's £85m and money well spent on bloody good players. Not all that bad.
I doubt Chelsea ever intended to let him join us, strung us along until we didn't have enough time to bring in somebody else and then pulled the rug out from under us. We really should have seen that coming I was surprised to see us linked with him this morning, I know they loaned us Benayoun but that was under a different manager and their opinion on him was a lot worse than Ba.

Happy about Fellaini, I don't see it as a lot of money for a top level club but it's a lot more than what we could have paid.
I don't get the Coentrao stuff, reports about it not going through. Don't want to get excited.
Could have really done without the Herrera shenangings. I feel bad for him more than us.

it's amazing how a signing could change the morale of fans and hopefully players as well.
utd fans, welcome to the hell of being gooners the past years.

Wait, is the Contraeo loan deal dead? Because the fax was sent late?
