Couple of questions for the Eds

As we seem to be haggling with Sporting over a few million here or there, would that suggest that Fernandes was not our top target and we are signing him because he is available? Surely if Ole was telling the powers that be that Fernandes was his primary target they would just pay whatever it takes?

Also, why are we not more proactive with transfers when the the window is shut? Is this down to us not having a DoF? Liverpool seem to negotiate when the window is shut so the player arrives as soon as the window is open a la Minamino.

Lastly, do you know if .............

Thanks in advance

Time Wolf

{Ed002's Note - (a) You are thinking rather too much about this. As I have explained, Manchester United are keen on the player but not at the asking price. There was no clear "first choice", but they have had interest in other AM players as well. (b) It is nothing to do with Liverpool, but MU is run on an amateur basis (you can search the page for "amateur". (c) I am njot going to start answering questions about random players.}

As far as rumour goes apparently negotiations were entered into on a price. That price was allegedly raised by Sporting after negotiations began causing issues.
The latest rumour is that Jorge Mendes is now involved in Sportings transfer dealings and although he has had zero input into the Bruno deal he is demanding a fee which Sporting are trying to add on and pass to United. United want nothing to do with Mendes anyway but also feel it isn't their fee to pay and it's an issue for Sporting.
The above is all rumour and hearsay but this is a rumours page. Would be interested to see Ed's view on the alleged Mendes interference. or otherwise.

{Ed002's Note - Someone has been misleading you rather. The price was not raised during negotiations. The price was set by Sporting based on how he is playing this season. Jorge Mendes is an advisor to Sporting - as he is to a number of clubs.}

ed. sporting are buying a striker for 7m euros i thought they had major financial problems so i'm confused as to how they can do any deals if they have to pay their debt in january is this accurate thanks.

{Ed002's Note - The had payments to guarantee at the end of December and again in June.


3.) 22 Jan 2020 16:35:59
So they don't need to sell BF this window then well for me this deal isn't happening it would have been sorted by now if we really wanted hom that much. I'm totally disillusioned with whoever it is dealing with these transfers its totally amateurish embarrassing thanks ED.

{Ed002's Note - I am really not sure what you issue is with the situation. Perhaps not thinking about money would ease it for most of the MU supports.}

If De Ligt was to end up at Barcelona, would that potentially make Umtiti available? Think we are trying to sign a left sided centre back to compliment Lindelof, hence the supposed interest in Maguire

Time Wolf

1.) 03 Jul 2019 05:07:57
Umtiti is a quality defender but injury prone.


2.) 04 Jul 2019 11:18:54
Lindelof started most games last season as the left sided centre back. Unless somethings changed I expect we would be looking at Harry Maguire as right sided centre back.

United will only sack Mourinho when a top 4 finish is unassailable.

Woodward always reverts to type and it will be a commercial decision. No Champions League football has a profound affect across all sponsorship deals and Mourinho’s pay off will become a drop in the ocean.

The media are reporting a Mourinho or Pogba scenario. Personally I would take Pogba all day long. He has proven with Juventus and France that we is a world class midfielder in the right system. I think Pogba has to play in a 3 man central midfield. This limits you to 3 attackers which is a difficult balance to strike between Lukaku, Sanchez, Mata, Rashford, Martial, Lingard etc.

Massively worrying that we have spent all this money under Mourinho and still seem to be 7 signings away from catching up with Liverpool and City.

How do we move on Lukaku and Sanchez (who imo are not good enough) without losing millions of pounds?

Would love to see Van Der Saar installed as DOF with either Howe, Pochettino or Zidane working under him.

Howe: great football, largely homegrown squad - would be a punt but could be a long tenure if back room staff are smart appointments.

Pochettino: might like the draw of a hefty transfer kitty. Plays good football and promotes youth.

Zidane: could he bring Varane and Isco with him? Maybe I’m dreaming.

Anyone would be better than Mourinho.

The squad, generally, isn’t half as bad as our results.

De Gea is a world class keeper, Shaw a solid left back and Bailly is a sting centre half. Fred is a well regarded midfielder, Pogba a World Cup winner and Martial a superb talent. Rashford is one of the most promising players in England and Lukaku is a 20+ goals striker. Sanchez is still a leading European player and would look a world beater elsewhere.

The problem is he hasn’t found the right system and has antagonised everyone at some point. He ‘trusts’ Matic and Fellaini - to do what though? Lose?

Stan Collymore wrote a very good article stating that we couldn’t play like Klopp, Pep or Poch’s teams. We have the personnel to do it but we don’t have a manager to implement it.


2.) 18 Dec 2018 07:26:28
The facts are lads. We sacked Moyes for playing poor football and poor results.
We got van gaal who installed the playing style of sidewards and backwards.
Bought some good talent we thought.
Falco flopped . Di Maria was a signing of convienance . And on and on.
Jose has a worse record of the two combined and yet he is still in the job.
Woodward and the Glaziers are a bunch of soulless pathetic cowards who would not know what a football is, if one hit them in the knackers.
Club is a joke at the moment.
And to add to the turmoil we draw PSG . Great just great.

Lol, you were saying?

Or they saCK him today.


5.) 18 Dec 2018 10:31:09
This aged well, though to be fair we have no chance of top 4!

Alex Sandro and Toby Alderweireld will be signed before the World Cup.

Time Wolf

1.) 22 May 2018 22:41:50
Hope so. Defense needs a serious upgrade. A RB would be great too.


2.) 22 May 2018 22:51:00
According to who TW? Or are you just playing with us? 🤦‍♂️.


3.) 23 May 2018 02:07:42
At what time Mr Wolf?


4.) 23 May 2018 09:38:26
Time Wolf sounds like a show I'd watch.

"A wolf from the future, sent back through time to deliver vital transfer news to the masses. But the only news he couldn't deliver was the news of his own demise. " TIME WOLF!


5.) 23 May 2018 09:46:47
Lol sounds like an air wolf/ time cop crossover. i'd watch it.


6.) 23 May 2018 09:55:17
Time Wolf is a shooting stars reference for those that care.

All I can add is that these players were identified as targets some time ago by the club, if they don’t happen before the WC it will be because Woodward will have failed to secure two (relatively) available targets - again.


7.) 23 May 2018 11:54:25
woodward overpays to get targets he's a fool

woodward doesn't get anyone because he wouldn't pay the money he's a fool

cant win.


8.) 23 May 2018 14:33:29
It's not Woodward. When dealing with Tottenham. It's Levy . Modern day highwayman.


9.) 23 May 2018 14:45:56
'All I can add' haha, let's hope you are right but you are making out like you have inside knowledge when I am guessing you don't.

Exactly what has Woodward done wrong and which 'relatively available' targets has he missed out on recently then? I'm a little confused why the anti-Woodward element to the end of that post.


10.) 24 May 2018 08:14:13
Ah, yes, Shooting Stars, I remember now! I wasn't taking the mick, just like the name. Also, thanks for passing on the rumour - that's what this site is for!

I would much rather see us sign Dias from Benfica than Maguire at the alleged 90 mil.

If Leicester get Dunk or Tarkowski for 30 million to replace Maguire they have got a better deal than us!

Time Wolf

1.) 31 Jul 2019 18:16:41
Maybe Dias doesn't want to move to England?


2.) 31 Jul 2019 18:44:53
I would rather try out Axel tuanzebe than spend all that on a def. Axel played really well in the friendlys I thought and spend on mid and maybe rw.


3.) 31 Jul 2019 19:20:39
Problem is though we do need a defender. Bailky is already crocked. Jones is as reliable as paper condom. And if Rojo is the answer I dread to think what the question is. That leaves us with Lindelof, Smalling and Tuanzebe. We're an injury or two away from disaster.


4.) 31 Jul 2019 19:28:46
We can’t go into the season with our current options, especially with bailly our for 5 months. Yes I agree axel should be given an opportunity but one injury and we are back in the realm of smalling, Rojo and Jones. There are options I would prefer to Maguire, but they are not available or not a right fit for us at this exact moment. Dias is a very talented player but there is no guarantee he will settle straight away. He could be a revelation or he could be a 1st season lindelof and then we are back with smalling et al.

I was against Maguire but now he’s a necessity imo. I think he would improve us and be a good foil for lindelof. He is strong in the air and is a leader. Pace is a concern but let’s hope he can improve his positioning.

Time Wolf - dunk is awful and he looks good because Brighton defend so deep. Would get exposed at any club where they play a higher line. Tarkowski is the one who gets all the plaudits but it’s Ben mee who is the better defender. I would take Maguire over all of them.


5.) 31 Jul 2019 19:37:52
according to the no clue rags. if we buy maguire we are selling tuanzebe to the toon army. what a joke they can have jones rojo and smalling for nothing first.


6.) 31 Jul 2019 19:44:26
And save ourselves some money Time Wolf?
It doesn’t matter how much they are paying. Not to us fans. The Van Dijk deal has changed the dynamics of the transfer market just the way Neymar's ridiculous move to PSG did. Barcelona then went out and spent way over the odds on Dembele and Coutinho.
We need a centre half and it would be good if we got one who has PL experience and more importantly, one who the manager wants in his team.
Would you honestly rather the board go and buy Dias or Untiti or whoever else we’ve been linked with, over the managers preferred choice just to save money.


7.) 31 Jul 2019 19:55:21
I would rather we signed maquire if we can’t get Dias, keep Tuanzebe and sell Jones and Rojo.


8.) 31 Jul 2019 20:06:50
Look on the bright side. Guillem Balagué has been blissfully quiet.


9.) 01 Aug 2019 01:07:06
Mort makes a very good point. I wouldn’t ever take a bet on a Rojo red card or Jones injury happening before the other but either way we are potentially quite short of options at centre back.

Does anyone know if AWB can play CB? He looks like he has the attributes to do so to me, and depending on how his attacking game develops may even end up being best suited there.


10.) 01 Aug 2019 01:21:15
Scooby there is good reason for that. he knows nothing.


11.) 01 Aug 2019 07:20:41
