Woodward looks like he's not up to the task, I think blind and rojo and one or two panick buys paying well over the odds again maybe depay and de Jong

Whether you like it or not.

Ed Woodward, since coming into the position, has brought hundreds of millions of pounds in to the club. He's doing a fantastic job.

Signing players is not a simple process. He's brought in 2 players that will drastically improve the first team already.

And is quite clearly working on more.
In the real world, don't you think its much more likely that he's only recently been given solid targets by LvG?

Give him till the end of the window before you start moaning about panic buys that he hasn't made yet.

Once again the fickle side of the United fans on show, the same people that we booing and jeering Fellaini on Tuesday. Cretinous at times it really is.

While I do agree to a certain degree he has brought in millions and is clearly good in this respect, we have lost ferdy, vidic, evra as you know our midfield was a shambles, two weeks before deadline day nobody in. Surely your a little bit worried can you not remember last season! Van gaal would have known the extra additions needed to improve doesn't live on mars! I personally like fellaini always in my dream team! I am a big utd fan also but you have got to be honest

Rodders,

I said this would happen a few weeks ago, when we sign players early in the summer people moan we haven't signed anyone, when actually you mean 'we haven't signed the player I want us to sign in the last 2 days'.

We have spent 60 million this summer, 30 to replace Evra and 30 to help sort out our 'shambles' of a midfield, we are also in the market for defenders and midfielders and will get some before the window closes.

Even if we signed Vidal, Rojo, Blind and Benatia today, I assure you there would be people on here on deadline day saying we haven't signed anyone and we desperately need 2 players. It is pathetic, people are so obsessed with signings.

The fact of the matter is that signings will be made before the window closes.

Everyone knows who they would personally like, but no one knows who LvG wants.

(Cue LvG's dry cleaner who's been told of a £150 Million move for Messi)

GDS, although I completely agree with your assessment on how some people think regarding transfers, especially when we've bought early, we are still at least three signings away from being where we need to be. We have actually left ourselves a lot to do in a short space of time. The club are clearly trying and they are targeting the higher calibre player which are harder to get, but you would think the club would have been more flexible this summer due to the fact that we have just had our worst season in decades and the club have lost significant funds in revenue. So we do need to pull our finger out, but I do agree that we could sign three today and there would still be people moaning on transfer deadline day. I completely agree with that.

Maybe, I'm pleased with the two signings so far! But you have to be honest no vidic and ferdy replacements 2 days before kickoff quality window so far? Get real! What do you think of Tyler Blackett?

I really rate Tyler Blackett and I think LVG does too, how could he not, every game he has played he has looked assured on the ball, quick and good at reading the game. I am just a bit wary of his lack of experience especially playing at the back with other inexperienced players.

Ferdinand has been poor for 2 seasons, I keep seeing people say we need to replace him but he hardly played last season and when he did he was awful. Pretty much the same with vidic at times over the last couple of years, I was not really too fussed that either left, although I do agree we need a replacement for vidic.

Syd,

I agree with your assessment mate, my comment was aimed at rodders saying we haven't signed anyone which frustrates me when we have spent 60 million. I am desperately hoping we get the players in we need in the next couple of weeks.

We have lost Ferdy Vidic and Evra ok I agree with that but have gained Shaw and Herrera Evra and Ferdinand cost us games last season and Vidic was injured a lot he couldn't help that but if Rojo and Blind came in we would have got more players than we lost and better

GDS, I would take Rojo, Blind & Vidal if offered to me now.
