Hang on a minute here, all those posting giving agro to the people who are a bit p*ssed off with out transfer policy of late, the likes of AJH and Brendan81, we have every right to be annoyed! We pay big money for our season tickets year in year out, and are one of the richest clubs in the world, yet we can't compete for the really top players. Why shouldn't we e annoyed about it? We expect to see the top players at old Trafford and in the last 5/6 years it isn't happening!

We constantly miss out on our top targets, yes so we got RVP, but in recent times we've misses out on Ronaldinho, robben, sneijder, ozil, moura, hazard to name a few, we can now add Thiago onto that list! And we're supposed to be happy with zaha are we!

Our midfield has been piss poor for the last 5 years, yes we won the league, and you all like to remind us about this but how about Europe? Are you not bothered that even in Sir Alex wonderful 26 years, we have won CL twice, once 2 goals in injury time and the other a shoot out miss by terry! Could well of been none! As long as we keep our midfield as it is, it will be another 26years before we win it again! Our CM is average to say the least. We will continue to be dominated time and time again!

So excuse us for being disgruntled but what are we supposed to feel, this will be another year buying under 20's, most of whom will never even make the first team!

I for one am sick of being conned!

Here here, thank f--k for at last someone with sense, I totally agree with everything you say, but still the bum lickers out there think everything is ok with us missing out on targets that should be so simple and straight forward to complete, well said mate.

Yes you can be upset, but if a player doesn't want to come to us, what do you want the club to do? Kidnap them? Offer everyone £350k/week?

Ronaldinho didn't want to come, Robben who cares, Sneijder who cares, Ozil wanted Madrid, Moura went because of Leonardo and more money, Hazard money grabber. Do you really want to be a PSG or Chelsea and pay stupid money/wages? If so you can support them.

Every United fan wants the top players but I for one don't want just money grabbing mercenaries who don't give a sh*t about the club.

Good post Fergies Condom,
We are a huge club and worldwide brand generating a lot of revenue yet our owners just want to pocket the cash and get by with the minimal amount of expenditure possible. To get real quality you usually need to pay fair whack and we don't seem to want to do that. Meanwhile, our rivals go and spend the necessary amounts to strengthen. It's a joke!
And don't get me started on our midfield, p#ss poor! No excuse for a club of our size to have a midfield so lacking in quality!

CAIN I think you need to realise, or at least accept that's how football has gone now. People don't do it for the "love" and "loyalty". You can count on one hand the one club career players. Its their job as players, they are going to want the best deal. Who wouldn't. So to subsidise living in The Wet North West, rather than Monaco, or Paris, Barca or Madrid we need to pay through the nose now. Especially if we want to continue to attract the Elite level players that as fans we think we should be.

Failing that, we could go for the players who "want" to play for us. but who are they. realistically?

Typical glass half empty comment when we miss out on another muppet signing. don't get me wrong, our football wasnt great last season and we certainly need key areas strengthened but people seem to forget some of the players we HAVE signed in just the last couple of years:
1) RVP Best striker in the premiership
2) Kagawa One of the best in Bundesligia
3) DeGea Arguably best young keeper in the world
4) Jones bar Wilshire probably best young English prospect
5) Zaha this year probably the ONLY English prospect
6) Anybody who watched the U20s can see this is a very good young player
One proven world class player and five very talented youngsters, not that bad surely?
Im dissapointed if we miss out on Thiago as he is the ideal player for us. But there are as the U20s and U21s have showed a lot of very good young players about at the moment, I will onyl be angry and flabbergasted even if we don't sign a central midfielder with a lot of talent this summer which there are quite a few of about in my opinion

Cain - the club do it every year, early on we're signing world class talent, then season tickets sell out and bang. We're signing bebe!

We missed out on Ronaldinho because in his words "we didn't try hard enough or show him we really wanted him"! He wanted united.

Robben? Better than nani, zaha, Valencia. So ye I would of took him

Sneijder? Modric? Seriously? We need WORLD CLASS CM, not one. 2! I've been saying it for years! Jesus! Scholes was gone 4 years ago, Anderson never going to cut it, jones is a CB!
And as for Darren fletcher who most still go on about are you for real? He's not good enough! Christ I even remember us turning a good CF in A Smith into a s*** CM and ruined his career! Now we're trying to play Rooney in CM because we're desperate!

Martinez, schweinstieger, gotze, thiago, xavi, iniesta, bisquets, yaya, silva, nastri, fabregas, gundogan, bender, Modric, ozil, alonso, mata, just a quick short list of players on another planet to ours! And yet were still happy to pay £7m for a player Fergie admitted he had only ever seen on a video? We have gone hopeless!

Mark my words we will never win CL until we sort this out! Not a chance were miles away!

Thiago could of been sorted weeks ago if we weren't holding out on a "couple of million"! It's a steal yet we still can't do it!

Genuinely worried about next season if we don't spend on top players, 2 if not 3

Oh and do I want us to pay big wages to lure the right players! To a degree yes. Because with winning trophys comes prize money, tv deals, sponsors and the like so yes. Look what happened last year? We sign our first true world class player in years and years. And he bangs in 25/30 goals which win a the title! Would welbeck have scored them goals? Of course not, but it's ok because he's only on 50k a week isn't he, yey!
