Well.im not sure if David Moyes is trying to kid us all with his statement saying "there's a possibility that we may not sign anyone" but I am getting completely p*ssed off with the whole thing now.
It's obvious that he want's to buy players because he's had bids for Fellaini, Fabregas and Baines turned down.
If we don't end up with anyone then somebody must be held responsible for this.
We have faffed about all summer wasting valuable time on Fabregas who never wanted to leave Barcelona, we have wasted another week putting in a dreary 28 million pound bid for Baines and Fellaini that was never going to be accepted.
What and who next I wonder?
If we do buy anyone and it's a very big if in my opinion I will say it's probably going to be Fellaini.
Moan over!

Well your new found positivity didn't last long did it. Different name, same Simmo.

Welcome back to the brotherhood of negativity.

Cheers Rumpelstiltskin!

Sorry but it's getting quite ridiculious now.

Who is this new Rumpelstiltskin fellow? I like him haha!

Haha, only 2 days ago you promised us positivity.

When will people learn not to take whatever a manager tells the press as the 100% truth?

Do people expect Moyes to come out and say if we don't sign a midfielder or 2 we are doomed and will finish behind City and Chelsea?

He said we still have targets and are hoping to bring in 1 or 2. He also gave the usual manager bull of the squad is good enough if worst comes to worst.

Get over it, it's a stock answer provided to the press. A manager will always back his current squad, for obvious reasons.

Does not matter how you put it, we didn't buy anyone till now.

Last season we didn't.
The season before last, we didn't.
SO it's really easy to understand why r people having this reaction. Don't like it-Don't read them.

Nick86,

I totally understand the frustration with the lack of activity, obviously as a sane fan I feel the same. What I don't understand is some people's need to jump on the back of any little thing - in this case a perfectly standard quote - to arrive at a conclusion that we are doomed. Did you expect Moyes to confess that if we don't pull off our targets we are in trouble? He's just playing it cool, as all managers do.

I just think some perspective is needed sometimes.

Like Moyes said we are working on targets and hoping to get 1 or 2. If we don't get any I will be as disappointed as anyone and will post as much on 3rd Sep. I can understand having top targets and failing to sign them occasionally but there really is no excuse for not strengthening any of the areas we need to, especially CM.

Sorry but I don't understand your comment on the last 2 seasons? We did sign players and personally I'm delighted we got RvP, Kagawa, Powell, Jones and DDG, although a quality CM would have been nice, lol!
