I hope that was a joke?
I do wonder why some United fans are starting to defend Woodward and defend the transfer actions of United. Their transfer track record in the last few years has been nothing short of appalling yet some fans want to preach patience? Honestly if I were a United fan I'd be worried at how slow things have been since the window reopened.Change thread title to: "Any Utd Transfer Targets?"
Chelsea don't seem to be struggling...has it been slow, not many clubs are rushing around buying. It's a long window.
the facts are, the virus has affected club finances. So we need to cut them some slack.
And that's all fine. Look if they do no business because they don't have the money or they do very little business then that's how it is for United. But then they should brace for another struggle.no, but as someone said, they had last summers money in the bank.
I just think United needed to take advantage of the current economic situation and the good work that was done over the last year. It is early days in the transfer market but they still haven't even made a bid for their #1 target... Other clubs have done business and they haven't.You can see what @RichH2016 is saying, when you see a big club spend like that you wish it was us. If we had that kind of input we'd be right up there.
If I were a United fan I'd panic. Why? Because Woodward takes forever to get a deal done and no deal seems close. If they add Sancho this summer does that move the needle for them? Id suggest as good as he is it doesn't. Chelsea will leap frog them and they'll remain at least as far behind the top 2.Still got 3 weeks to get players in before our season starts and 7 weeks before the window ends so no need for total panic.

Something will happen in this transfer window, I'm just not sure what. But I will say that the present team is worth another 15 points next season and that is top 3 form.
The problem is this has never happened. Might as well say, we'll do well if we stop missing our shots. Someone we desperately rely on will get injured and it's up to the board to make sure Ole's got someone who can come on in their stead. Right now, we're a skeleton crew.Honestly unless they totally tank the CL games and play reserves I’m not sure we can add 15 points but I do agree the current squad can do much better than it did last season if the key players all stay healthy through the entire season.
Where I think it’s going to be tough is through the autumn when we’ve got league and CL running he can’t just keep putting the same XI out game after game. He’s got to find a way of using that bench to have 16 or 17 fit and in form players to call on every week.

People are kidding themselves if they think this current team with no new additions can add 15 points next year. In a condensed season with a lot of games? They'll be burned out by February and with no break.Honestly unless they totally tank the CL games and play reserves I’m not sure we can add 15 points but I do agree the current squad can do much better than it did last season if the key players all stay healthy through the entire season.

It’s way way too quiet for my liking especially when we start training Wednesday for the new season.I don't think I've ever seen a transfer window where United appear to be so quiet. Outside of the transfer gossip columns there's nothing.
Sancho isn't happening so where is the alternative option?
