If Jim White said he's coming for talks I pretty much fail to see how that means he flat out rejected us.

Jim White's record this summer is untouchable....... - -- - - - - - - -

I understand Tim Sherwood will emerge as the clear favourite for the Palace job over the weekend. #CPFC

6 of those were broken by other people first. Only ones I dont know about are the peterborough and sherwood ones
 
Fine, ignoring everything, the truth is we've lost 3 pts because we had to field players like Ashley Young at LB due to not having sufficient squad to cope with it, transfers should of been made before now to cope with this situation.

Ashley Young as a LWB yes... but as a LB.... not a chance in ****. Infact I think Ashley Young is just a player who isn't good enough at any particular position but we just need him simply to fill one of them due to the inadequate cover.
 
For example, Isla? that was out a WEEK before White said anything, already in circles in italy

Injuries are to blame not new signings.

To be fair we moved for that cover player. Its actually the one thing you CANT blame Woodward for (Rojo). I know the point you're trying to make, but you've picked a bad example there

*Clap Clap* Mr.Woodward, he's managed to place a bid for Rojo which caused a ****-storm, which the Sporting director tends to like doing, even if it was more complicated with Doyen this time as well.

We've had all summer to get someone like Benatia, then wonder why we have to pay more now we're in the final 2 weeks of the window.

Anyway.... back to another 2 weeks of speculation and nothing. How long until there is concrete protests against the Glazers and fans will make themselves heard at Old Trafford?

It's a sickening situation now, squad isn't good enough - lacking QUALITY and DEPTH in key areas, players are there for a long time who have been earning a crust off United by doing absolutely nothing for the club.

It's time for fans to make a stand, unless things change urgently... my opinion and it appears is being shared by fair few others who are being heard more than I am.
 
There is one transfer for me that shouldnt fail: any move for Blind.

Seriously, if you're blaming him for Rojo, you're being silly. I explained this yesterday. You can't overeact to each situation everytime you get a bit of bad news. I told you yesterday it wasnt solid

Fans make a stand? What stand? Fans have been complaining for years
 
Also if LVG isn't backed with the players he wants, the best thing he can do is make sure it be known loud and clear, then fans really will start to stand up, right now everyone is so unsure what the issue is which is delaying it.

Infact like a few other people on Twitter on Redcafe have mentioned, is it really beyond the realms of possibility that LVG will leave United if he doesn't get the backing he needs with players coming in? Would he really want to carry on and tarnish his reputation knowing full well this team he has is not capable of winning the title and will struggle for top 4?

LOL the club care not what we think!
 
I'm amazed people think that Woodward should have been able to see sporting having a meltdown with doyen. That's not a norma thing by any means

Wow, you really are overreacting now.

Yes, yes it is beyond the realms. didnt realise people were jumping the shark already.

LVG puts more pressure on himself than anyone. he knew exactly what the task was. He'll make his point exceedingly clearly and work with what he has, while needling woodward
 
Guys, from now on, can we have breakdowns once we have all the facts, and not before?

If the board or Woodward isn't delivering it makes his job impossible, he can only do so much with these players, he's not going to make an unbalanced squad - balanced, without having new additions.

Furthermore, LVG has made all the comments already which points to it, "We can sign a player within 24 hours" "I need defenders" "We don't have wingers like Di Maria or Ronaldo" "I know this squad isn't capable" (of winning the title, or however he worded it, it was similar).

Then obviously mentioning he needs players yesterday, it goes on and on. "I have inherited a broken squad".
