Football Summer transfer window 2014

[Northern Goblin]

People have been insulting Ed Woodward since last year, he's completely incompetent. Any of the deals he's made so far are merely to meet asking price and throw money at them. He has zero business sense in terms of signing players. He's a banker, he can get sponsors and new pies at the stadium.

Woop-de-f##kin-do.

I don't know if signing Benatia has got to do with business sense in terms of signing players.
I mean , i'm sure we would sell him if our asking price was met (sadly) , maybe the rest of the management thinks 35m is too much?

[Northern Goblin]

Talk going around now is that Munich is likely to sign him instead. I've wish I could be a fly on the wall on Ed's office at times, and just see what the hell he's trying to do.

[Valeron]

Well unless he is really pining to play in the EPL, I'd think going to Bayern would be a no brainer (assuming that he would leave of course)

[Norganon]

Nani to Sporting, Rojo to United.

I really hope he doesn't leave...
Benatia is our best player , at least in the defense , him and De Rossi were fundamental in us keeping that many clean sheets and conceding so little goals .
If we were to sell him now and replace him with ANYONE else who is on the market atm would dampen our hopes for the league title so much.

Looks like Nani is gone permanently, not just on a loan. Which is great business, because it's offloading excess midfielders we've simply no use for.

Ashley Young seems to have lost his pre-season form (told you he only plays well when his arse is on the line) and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes on the run in to deadline day.

Of course, that requires United signing a couple more players, Woodward cannot think his job is done now.

[Cren]

United have confirmed on their official site now that they have reached an agreement with Sporting about Rojo now. Just his personal contract remaining.

I gotta be honest i dont really know much about this guy.... Anyone know how good he is?

2 weeks, I hope he knows what he's doing.


Who am I kidding

He made Opta stats' World cup XI at left back. Honestly, he can play as LWB or CB in the 3-5-2 system. Good addition, especially with Shaw out.

And Norg, miracles can happen. Though I expect Woodward to get fired this year.

[Cren]

Well lets hope he gets to play as the left centreback and Shaw can handle the left wing. Would be nice

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Apparently Stoke City wanted Nathan Redmond and matched our asking price, but we decided not to sell. Good decision.

[Othraerir]

united should buy some wingbacks if they want to play that system, evra and rafael could have played there, what happened to rafael anyway?

[Northern Goblin]

Barcelona's appeal rejected, and will be banned from transfers for the next 2 transfer windows.

Bit late like, but ah well.

Rafael is still there, but he got injured during the preseason and he is back now again. Pretty sure Shaw can handle the left side as well if he gets his fitness up (according to van Gaal hes not fit enough yet).

Not late at all i just came on the news like 15 min ago :P

[Northern Goblin]

Shaw as your LWB, and Januzaj as RWB covers that, you've a central three of Rojo/Jones and then Rafael/Smalling/Evans. Honestly for the sake of depth and injury cover United need another CB, as well as a box to box midfielder. Carrick is unreliable and Fletcher might not reach the levels he use to play before illness (when he was younger.)


It won't win the EPL this season, but that's a squad that will get into ECL football, and you can build on.

I meant they've signed people this window, had the appeal gone through sooner they could have been stopped this window. Didn't mean that I was late reporting it.

Would be perfect if we could get Benatia and Strootman from Roma! Think those 2 players are exactly what United needs right now

[Northern Goblin]

Absolute no to Strootman. Man's just had a cruciate ligament injury. Might not even be back to form before 2015. January window target? Possibly, but not a summer signing.

Pretty funny, they sign all the players they want then the ban gets upheld. See you next transfer window for more appeals.
