Seems we took defeat from the jaws of victory in this transfer window. City increase the gap between us and them with a player we need while Chelsea are about to do the same. I guess LvG is happy with another fight for the 4th spot again. |

ElFenomeno1: there's nothing like fate resigned.....if we wanted pedro, we woulda gotten him. LVG pulled the plug on him.....money isn't the issue here, united can get anyone they want. we are not arsenal who get bullied cos they are worse than mosque rats. |

Write off Woodward at your own peril. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 11:12am On Aug 20, 2015 |
dopeJemi: you have to write him off.....he's been rank poor. it's now 9 competitive games since rooney scored for us. what sort of a striker is that? 1 away goal in the league in almost 18 months. the stats are very grim. rooney himself has admitted he is stinking up the whole joint. martin samuel, ian wright and ruud gullit have already given their verdict that rooney is a waste of space as a striker. gary neville is screaming his lungs out that united need an elite striker to compete. what other evidence do you need to realise rooney is finished? |

coogar: Yeh!Yeh!! If we wanted Pedro, we would have gotten him.... LVG pulled the plug!!! You spent all summer chasing Pedro, it was even reported Woody flew over to Spain to close the deal, why waste all of that time? Isnt it a case of a U-turn from the player, giving you guys no choice than to pull out..... ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 11:27am On Aug 20, 2015 |
ElFenomeno1: nah.... his buy-out clause was only £22m. anyone willing to pay that price would have gotten pedro. it's not a case of a U-turn from the player. pedro himself said he was shocked united didn't follow through. woodward flew to spain in truth but LVG said he is no longer interested in pedro. |

coogar: I know the money isn't the issue. But we dithered because we spent over a month chasing players LvG wasnt 100% on. That's a waste of time and resources when we could have pursued other targets and settled them into the team/country by now. That affects us more than helps us. Otamendi and pedro would have probably improved us by a huge amount. |

Guys the transfer still aint over Calm down |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by capricornian(m): 11:48am On Aug 20, 2015 |
Let's just say LVG and Woody only hope is to make top four this season. I do not think it's to win the league.. with the loss of Pedro and Otamendi, the hope of winning the league is fading even with the 6points. 11 more days to the end of transfer market, it's sure we will buy but at outrageous amounts. No in-form and dependable striker... suspicious defence line and maybe even wingers.. We still have issues with sorting out the issue of de gea.. Woody is still the same goat as ever... most of our signings if not all have been uncontested ones.... O su mi oooo |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:56am On Aug 20, 2015 |
MrTA: Luiz Van Gaal said he needed just a goalkeeper and an attacker. He closed any chance of signing a defender since two weeks ago. The need for a defender has been off Gaal's mind since and this conviction has been parlrticilarly reinforced with the compactness of our back four or five (if u add Sneinederlin). The recruitment so far has fitted well and Gaal has been looking at the holes to fill from our games. Perhaps he has realized now Pedro will not be the perfect player to fill the gap(s) left opened in the team. Why do I say this? Memphis was basically to play in the middle leaving the wing the areas to be filled with signings. Now it looks to me Memphis will play permanently in the wing while we look for someone who can play and cause lots of trouble in the middle. I think Gaal doesn't like Mata to play in the middle, although an intelligent player but plays and constructs slowly. Since last season, Gaal has been looking to play people with speed in the middle. Januzaj, Di Maria, Memphis. Last week we lodged a bid for Mane which was only revealed this week. Mane plays fast and can cause a lot of problem in the wing, behind the striker and even on top. Nobody knows exactly what these guys are doing, but I think they know why they do what they do. I am not one to distrust people overnight. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ocephraim: We went in for Mane before we pulled out of bid for Pedro. According to report, the Mane interest has been on since last week. They must have their reasons. Gaal usually talk about a process. I guess that process involved in monitoring what is on ground and as well as what is to come. Every time they have been convinced they acted and brought out the money. I like Pedro but I also have to see things from the manager's perspective. |

Thank god the pedro deal din't work out, i never fancied the guy, we're bigger than going for a bench warmer in a team we are richer than, if we can't get marco reus or greizman, we should just make use of our youngstars in the team, lingard januzaj pereira should be given the chance to perform, even wilson can do better at the right flank. I see no sense in signing a bench warmer like pedro while our youngstars are still waiting for their chance to get first team football, if we are not signing any of reus or greizman, we should then make use of our youngstars. As for Otamendi, gaal was never interested in him, i expect all the united faithfulls in this thread to know that, expecially when jones was given a new contract and when he said, his centre halfs pairing will be a left and a right footed player. And please don't tell me the "pedro playing in a team with the best forward line crap", i won't buy that. |

Sometimes,we like to make simple things unnecessarily complex. Some things are obvious. Players who would very obviously improve us by 10-20% minimum. If LvG spent all this time chasing pedro and then decided at the last minute that he no longer fancies him. It shows indecision and that I cannot trust. My confidence in him has definitely wavered. But like you all say, kashimawo |

ElFenomeno1:hey elphenomenal, if you can show me a post where i hailed or was excited about the prospect of pedro joining united, i'll SHUT THE FVCK UP as you instructed. Elampiro, greizman is a brilliant player, and if we can splash 60mil for di maria, i see no reason why getting greizman for below £60mil would be a problem, though i'll love van gaal to make use of our youngstars this season, i'm certain one amongs januzaj perreira, lingard will suprise us this season. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Joeace3000(m): 1:09pm On Aug 20, 2015 |
One thing this transfer window has taught me..... You may like your club than your mother but during the transfer period, exercise restraint. A transfer deal is never done till that player appears in your club base and holds that shirt. I won't be overly excited about paper reports again no matter how realistic a target is |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by n0m0705(m): 1:25pm On Aug 20, 2015 |
I Don't really konw what we fans want, why should a team be buying and buying because they have the money? We have a team that is balance in every Department IMO , the only thing that is left is for the midfield to get their act together. The way our midfield played in the 2 league games will make even messi struggle as a no9. We have enough in our arsenal to contend for the league, lvg only needs to get the right selection in the middle. |
