Just seen the actual quote from Moyes and then read down the page and not one person has mentioned that he actually said the words 'We NEED to sign players'.

Obviously best you ignore this because it would go against all the pessimistic posts, but let's be honest, everybody has ignored the good part and jumped on the bad part, something United fans seem to do way too often on this site.

You obviously didn't go down far enough then. If you did, you would have seen my comment which said those words.
He said we need players but are not under pressure to sign anyone. Bit of a contradiction and I think just a way of keeping his cards close to his chest.

I totally agree! however, I can understand peoples frustration because it feels like there's a pattern here! How many windows have come and gone where we've been crying out for some quality in midfield and we didn't get it! It just all seems like we're being set up for the same old story! He did also say there is value in the market and that we're just looking at a select few top quality players! So I'm going to try be optimistic and just hope he means what he says! I don't think its too much to ask for to be honest!

I think its getting to point what DM says is pretty meaningless - it is what he does :)

DM said what he said and we don't have to read between the lines.

In fact, I don't know why people are moaning anymore, because we may not sign anyone.

We have a squad that will be relying on RVP most of the time and can do something special in the EPL, but as the best team in the world, we must get the right players for the C.L.

We can't just fail to reach at least the semi-finals again.

I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is tbh. We need to sign players, yes, but tjeu need to be the right players with the qualities we need.

Plus it can't harm negotiations for the selling clubs to think signing no one is a viable option for us, even if it's not entirely true.

I think scolms has got it spot on. Whatever Moyes says now is meaningless. Because nothing he's said has come true.
What's the bet that Rooney goes despite the not for sale stance.
