Anybody feel we are becoming a bit of a piss take? Every player under the sky is linked with us and when we appear to be making a move something happens.Gundogan, Otamendi, Pedro to name a few, it seems we are all quiet until we go for the player then its take the mickey time.New links with Griezmann seem like another joke on us moment.So we are now being linked with Madrid young starlet as the answer to the De Gea issue and our striking issue. TBH it's really annoying as if we were to use a young starlet as our answer I would rather it be Wilson. I don't wanna be a Woodie basher but I'm heading that way although I dunno if it is him or LVG!!

Thank the media for all this. I doubt people at the club are ringing up the papers and feeding them stuff.

. and how the hell do you know which players we have actually attempted to sign? Woodward has no control over the press or social media. He has to this point brought in four excellent additions to the squad and is no doubt working hard on more.

Jeez. Get a grip man, because posts like this are quite frankly more embarrassing than anything that Woodward has or hasn't done!

Yea we are a joke, we never sign any good players, schneiderlin, schweinsteiger, Darmian and depay are figments of our imagination, posts like this are a little embarrassing to say the least it's becoming harder to read some of the stuff on here.

I wouldn't take much notice of any of the tabloids Ken. They are as much "in the know" as you or I.

Redken

The words "linked with", "targeted" are the problem. I am afraid you are believing the biased press and falling into exactly the pit they want you to. There are elements, many Scouse, in the press who want to make everyone believe our time is up, no one wants to play for us and if they say it enough some might believe it. The words linked and targeted are frankly pathetic, at a time when we are keen and hang on every word , clicking on every internet story, they have found a way to get publicity, use the words Manchester United and add linked or target. They have the added bonus if we don't then buy that player to write that we missed out, were rejected. If you don't believe me count up how many players we have been "linked" with or targeted and I bet it won't be far off 150 by now, Woodward would have to set up a queuing system X factor style with that many. It all suits agents as well who are trying to get their client a better deal.
Stop getting wound up by the drivel in the press and judge by actions not words and certainly do not believe the press with every single story at a time when they want to see us fail. If you see the words linked or target regard it with suspicion.

Sam i think a lot of this is because the fans are gullible. They believe eth in the papers.

JK92 I agree I didn't see that one when I was moaning earlier. My reason behind the rant is more from watching LVG annoyed earlier, if the Pedro deal was nothing he wouldn't have got wound up. It annoyed me to think of us becoming a team who, while in this period of change buying so much and being a laughing stock as a result, in fairness like we've been doing to city and Chelsea for the last few years. But then again maybe I am paying too much attention to the media. Can't wait for silly season to end.

I guess most f us have see that graphic showing the formation with Al the players we have been trying to sign. there were 4 goalkeepers, 3 RBs, 8 CMs, and about 6 CFs. most of it is complete tosh
