Aurier is good but is he really a necessity at this point in time? I think not, with the way TFM has been performing in preseason and Valencia still being very much around, I'd have preferred if we strengthen other areas of the team, LB and a winger who can operate from either flank. Matic looks a done deal so, the midfield is sorted out.

Leyqute:
Slimghost your blood dey hot

Oya drop the 50m make we buy Perisic

ToyinDipo:
This is what Mou was saying, one team is getting the players they want for 'fair' prices (Chelsea), while another is getting players they want for 'not so fair' prices (City), whereas Manu is there seemingly idle in the market.
If you can't negotiate your way out, buy something, because in the end it becomes the coach's problem.

Leyqute:
There's nothing to be impressed about. Theyre just willing to splash the cash. And they really need to strengthen in that particular position. This however doesn't mean the player will come good.

If we were willing to splash the cash Ed would've gotten Eric Dier for 60m and Perisic for 50.

hensben:
You're wrong. Chelsea board wanted lukaku out of emotion but Conte see him as not good enough hence his first choice of striker is Morata. Mou first choice of striker is Morata too. So you see.

AdisaOwala:
Ohkay let me ask you :

What exactly did you expect him to have done & what would you rather have him do (before the close of the window)?

ChristineC:
is that the full interview granted on transfers so far or you are cropping out what suits your narrative?

AdisaOwala:
A concise analysis/evaluation of Ed's performance would only be possible at the close of the transfer window.

Let's wait till then biko.

ChristineC:
Jose Mourinho was speaking like a politician, an attempt to ease pressure and stranglehold the selling clubs believe they have on Manchester United. you can't seriously be expecting this business to throw cash away for the sake of it. £40m for Nemanja Matic? excuse me but who's that!? I'm still at a loss why the club is even in for him (if rumors are to be believed).

there are bureaucracies involving very many principals in these negotiations which we as supporters will never know. citing how quickly Chelsea did business is merely having a laugh, the same people begging for an announcement of a signing few days ago, just any signing?
why is Alexis Sanchez still at Arsenal after even publicly stating his wish? where is Diego Costa? when is Kylian Mbappe arriving wherever? you cannot bully many clubs into doing business with you anymore, a phenomenon Real Madrid and Barcelona will soon come to terms with.

CapitalCee:
Eeerm bros calm down, Ed is not a good negotiator we know, but can you remember the same Gill and Ferguson could not tie up deals for Sneijder and Ronaldinho. Woodward have been trying to sign these mourinhos target but the prices are high, and mourinho has stated he won't want players being overpaid for, just like sinizia has mentioned what is delaying these deals is the selling club's asking price and Woodward don't want to pay which is the right thing to do. Transfer window closes more than one month from now, so there is still time or will you want us to sign another Batshauyi for big money this early and later regret it? The RVP example you gave is way off, let me tell you time has changed, if it's in this present time Arsenal will never sell RVP to us, if not why didn't man city and Chelsea go and grab Sanchez when he stated clearly he wants to go. The current money influx into football now making every club rich is the cause, Arsenal can afford to keep Sanchez this year and lose him for free next year, no problem, they received 100m+ only from TV last year unlike before.
Look at Liverpool,Barcelona are coming with 74m for Coutinho but they refused and believe me they won't sell him to them.
Look at Degea, why don't he agitate for a transfer? He know we can dump him on the bench for the 4 Remaining years of his contract without any fuss.
Look at mbappe,verratti, sigurdsson, Bellerin and many other players in demand, why are they not moving yet?
I like this new reality, it means Madrid and Barcelona would no longer get world class players easily they would have to make do with average players, just wait let Ronaldo and Messi phase out you will understand what I am saying.
So my brother it's not easy the way you are seeing it, Time has changed.

sinizia:
You're confused, Bro. You've just stated why Ed is now wasting time on deals so as to avoid the embolden in your post. Shouldn't you be happy that Ed is now more wiser than before?

So which scenario do you want?

Madrid: Morata is 70m with 15m add-ons
Ed: no shaking. Here's the money.

Tottenham: Dier is 60m. Take it or leave.
Ed: money dey. Oya here's the cheque for 60m. No time.

Inter: we hear say una rich. Pay 50m for Perisic.
Ed: you be man wey sabi. Here's a cheque of 50mil.


Just imagine the money being called for average players and you're complaining that Ed has spent much in the past. Ain't you happy that he's refusing to accept the fees easily? Na wa o.

The same Mourinho backed Ed on not spending excessively. Do you think transfers are that easy? Why haven't Mbappe left with all the suitors he'd had for over a month now? Why haven't Liverpool signed Keita and Van Dijk for over a month now? It's not easy and there's no special trophy for signing players fast. Ed should take his time and try to reduce the asking prices.

sinizia:
I've vilified Woodward in the past, but he's been trying his best this season. Even Mourinho admitted that Ed is not finding it easy to get the players he want. Do you know that clubs are trying to maga us? Any player we go for they quote obscene amount for him. Go and read what Inter President or is it their coach said about Perisic and the reason why they're charging us so much for an average player. We shouldn't throw money around just coz we're rich. Ed is trying, it's not easy.

joeace2020:
Since March ooo.. March! He's busy looking for another sponsor to add tge to the billions we already have while the team is lacking in personnel.

ChristineC:
what is Ed Woodward doing wrongly?

raumdeuter:
I fully expect facts and logic to bore you when you cant find them

The only fact ere is that Guardiola didnt buy Alves every other thing na speculation

PattyCake:
He was given 10 by Everton
But we had an open No 9, I'm sure that would have
Been his first choice before the club gave it back to Martial.


Check his social media, his favourite number is 9.

JayKayMaybachz:
To where!! ?

JayKayMaybachz:
To where!! ?

PattyCake:
Lukakus favorite no is 9...Let's hope we avoid another childish tantrum.

NwaAmaikpe:


Still trying to imagine how and why she ran away from her marital home.


It's no big deal, almost every woman does this.

The husband should just dust himself up, get a condom and head for a brothel; get his fair share then come back home and everything goes back to normal. Chikina.

Folks need to understand than humans just like animals are polygamous in nature.
Society and religion have nurtured us to neglect nature

xynerise:
You asked for my opinion na

Well, Morata is a playmaker, I know he doesn't start matches but that doesn't change the fact that he is a playmaker.

Lukaku was not this magnificent last season so we can't say he is consistent in goal scoring. Though he has improved of recent.
