To me, this hasn't been a smart transfer window at all for Man Utd and I sense some panic with how they have operated in the window. If anything, LVG has now complicated things further by bringing in Di Maria and Falcao, when there was clear need for better defensive reinforcement. They've also now committed themselves to signing what will be a 29 year old Falcao for £51m (if reports are true), not to mention wages on top of that, for next season.

I love how you exaggerate everything to make it seem worse. I know you're talking about how old he'll be next year, but its such a pointless comment to make. He's 28. Also, everywhere is reporting its closer to £40 million. Also, I don't see how his wages are any more relevant than the wages of any other player. Torres was always branded as a £50 million signing, not a £75 million signing including wages.

And Di Maria has been a target for months. Not sure how that's panic buying.

Suppose that fourth was Sir Matt Busby's fault.

Saw someone on here say it when you lost under Giggs last year IIRC

Are the situations even remotely comparable?

I wonder if the Moyes haters will give as much grief to LVG as they did to Moyes.

Moyes was backed by the majority of fans up until February/March.

It would likely be Carrick and Herrera.

van Persie's first game since the WC, so not too bothered about that.

Does anyone watching this seriously think its the centre backs that are the main issue?

Why are Sky showing this?

Surely Spurs-QPR made more sense for premise, and for potential to laugh at Harry Redknapp getting mullered.

Spurs QPR would likely have been a 3PM Satuday kick-off and only got pushed back 'cos of the EL game.

Hull must feel robbed after that.

Mata has proved to be a needless acquisition though. He wasn't what you needed and seems to be a massive waste of money.

Well I disagree, but regardless, he was who Moyes wanted and Woodward went out and got him.

You really denying the fact you need defenders?

Also doesn't Woodward sign your players? or is it just his fault when you don't sign people then when you do its the genius of van Gaal

When did I say that?

You've just said that we were never going to sign top defenders because United are only interested in big names and not actually improving the team. Which is clearly bullshit.

Woodward signs van Gaal's targets, and yes it is his fault when he fails. He also gets credit when he does actually do something, like when we signed Mata.
