We're not looking to enter the market for short-term fixes, " Woodward said in response to an investor's question in a conference call to discuss United's latest financial results.

"However, we have targets that we are looking at for next summer and should any of those become available in January, which is rare, we will consider acting.

"But it terms of expectations we all need to recognise that's a low probability."

Just read this myself, sounds about right. We can't be telling the world we are desperately looking to sign a short term defender or we will have our pants pulled down. Seems like Woodward is getting much more comfortable in his job after a successful summer.

I never really understand that view i don't believe other teams owners directors etc pay that much attention to what they read in the media .

I don't think he really said anything we don't already know from recent seasons anyway did he?

It is difficult to get players in January that you want as players do not want to leave teams that are in the latter stages of the Champions League. I am guessing what he means by them becoming available is that they get knocked out of Europe before Jan.

His comments also bring down the expectations of people who are expecting us to spend 150 million again in Jan!

Agree1 Disagree4

I don't think there is any hidden message .
Unless someone becomes available in jan which is unlikely we will sign a long term target in the summer.
I don't think we will do much business this January

Agree2 Disagree0

The comments are nothing new. All our targets would naturally be for the summer window anyway as that tends to be when the big deals happen. However, if our hand is forced then I am sure we will move.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mata would most likely be moved on if we go 4-3-3 with Di Maria as the attacking midfelder Rooney up front and two quality wingers brought in

If we make a permanent move to the 433 system do people think that Di Marea should play as one of the wide attackers or the attacking player in the midfield 3 behind the main striker.
I think this decision will mould our transfer dealings over the next 2 windows as to whether we look at attack wingers (Deepay/Shaquiri/Quadrado/bring back Nani) or that Attack midfielder/number 10 type.

Fantastic effort in spelling 4 of the 5 players names wrong in that post, I doubt we will bring back Nanie though.

I feel Quadrado would be somewhat of a square peg in a round hole.

I think it is impossible to say at the moment whether LVG is looking towards the 433 formation, but if we did move to that formation I would imagine Di Maria would be quite flexible in his roll just like he has been so far in the formations we played.

Agree8 Disagree2

GDS2. I do try my best to get these things wrong, can't believe I actually got one right!
I agree with you however I remember a while back a lot of people suggesting 433 as the system of choice for LVG and to a point I think we have been evolving towards this.
I think Di Marea could have a major impact as the attacking midfielder as his best games have been more central but do wonder where that will end up leaving Rooney/Mata

Agree0 Disagree0

GDS2, your Quadrado joke has just been voted the most intelligent joke on a football forum ever. By me. Good work.

RWWD,

I have been waiting all day for somebody to get it, I thought it was never going to come. Thanks for possibly being the only one!
