what's really odd is that nothing seems to be happening-even the so called certs. Garay for example. All nonsense, or part of a bigger plan?

1.) 24 Jul 2013
I have a strange feeling that nothing is going to happen until deadline night and then we will sign some unknown 17 year old for stupid money and that will be our lot for this year. Maybe we will get someone in January when we are in desperate need and lying in 6th.

This is all too frustrating, all the big clubs around Europe are getting stronger and stronger and we do nothing!

Also, I don't buy Moyes' excuse that he has only been there 3 weeks so have patience - What about City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona (to name a few) who have all changed managers this summer but have still managed to be active in the transfer market.

Really starting to worry about next season, we are going to get left behind if we don't strengthen soon. Some people are saying Moyes is waiting until the pre-season is over, but by then it will be too late and all the good available players will be gone. Also, if that's true why did Woodward need to go back so urgently?!

Would actually take any signing being announced right now, just so we know Moyes hasn't lost his cheque book!

Garay was a SAF target. Perhaps things have changed with the arrival of Moyes or perhaps there are more urgent players to attend to first?

Could it be possible that we don't see a deal for Garay completed until we can get something sorted with bale or ronaldo due to a move for garay also meaning Madrid would get a pay out if I'm not mistaken.

Due to this and garay already been 27 why not move for subitic instead as IMO he's better than hummels but doesn't get the credit he deserves

So Moyes doesn't carry SAF obsession in signing Central defenders & wingers when we have been glaringly light on midfield quality since Keano was ejected (2008 apart) isn't exactly a reason to panic

I don't think we should use City and Chelsea as comparisons. SAF had a much better say in transfers and worked with Gill on them, the other 2 have all been The Shake and Roman pulling the strings. Moyes is right to say what he has. he wants to bring in who he wants to.

City havet really strengthened much, they've spent a lot of money to add a bunch of players, most of whom they simply don't need.

7.) 24 Jul 2013
Maybe Moyse is simply taking a few weeks to judge players for himself, look at strengths weaknesses and buy accordingly - depending on the formation he chooses to play. Rather than the other muppets that let their Football Manager Game Chairmen buy players they want for headlines rather than those that fit into the managers tactical ideas.

I'd be worried if Moyse came in splashing the cash on 3 or 4 players before he has looked at players on the training pitch, met them, talked about their futures and also met with potential targets or spoken with the person at length (Ed) that is sorting it. I'd imagine Rooney saga has a massive say on formation or players we buy and that isn't over yet.

This is all very sensible and means we build a team of compatible players rather than star names only.

We are too impatient here guys even Moyes wants to succeed at Man U its a good platform, the trend of things does not just change overnight just like that, let's wait and see what happen, hoping for the best

Have a little faith people we always start slow in the transfer market and we have still been the team to beat even with so many of these sugar daddy clubs around. We have the right man in Moyes he has mostly brought well at Everton and I think he will here with a much bigger budget teams like to hike the price up even more for us and when its equal money the agents always send there players to were they will get the best cut of the cash players like RvP Jones were different they wanted United and there agents were told to make it happen there are lots of good even great players still up for grabs and we are at least seeing Moyes try to get the players in we need ie a world class midfielder that can replace Scholes I guarantee we will have a new cm one of the calibre we need he may not be every ones first choice he may be Cesc who we would all be over the moon with but it will be a player young or old that will come in and be fantastic for us in that position keep the Faith.

I think the real decider for me will be whether we are trying to buy a player that doesn't want to move and isn't really for sale, or whether its a done deal and everyone involved is trying to make out its complicated.

11.) 24 Jul 2013
I don't think Garay has ever been a target this summer myself. One of the Eds said a deal was almost done weeks ago and something about personal terms holding it up. didn't and don't believe it for a second.
The window has been frustrating so far. We have it appears bid for Baines and didn't want to bid higher. good. We have talked to Thiago and he wanted to work with Guardiola. bad. We have bid twice for Fabregas with no bids accepted. bad (though a great player I still can't warm to him as a signing). It appears this summer we really are after a marquee signing, so it is going to be harder to tie up deals than recent summer due to the profile of player we seem to be seeking. But Strootman and Garay I have said all along weren't coming, and neither will Fellaini be.

I said months ago that I found it hard to believe we were in for CB and not surprised this is not happening. Like the rest here this transfer window is very odd and I am not sure what the end game is. I do belief Rooney will be sold for 30-33 million but unsure of who comes in.
