Impossible to encourage better players to a club sitting mid table, you only have to look at the players Souness and Roy brought to Liverpool
I thought it was simply a case of United throwing as much money as they liked at players and they’d join no matter what?
A myth not even Ferguson could always get who he wanted for example Ronaldinho,Shearer went elsewhere but like Klopp now at Liverpool he had good recruitment that meant more gems than duds were signed. And yes Woodward is completely shit at this.
The player has agreed personal terms with United. United are stalling on the asking price. Apparently Sporting are cash strapped and need money ASAP and the banker is playing hardball. Looks like it may be backfiring.....not that Woodworm really gives a sh1t....
Unnecessary haggling by Woodward, and now has come with increased offer when Barcelona declared an interest and a offer that Sporting seem happy with.
A deal that should have been done at the start of this month and then focus on bringing in another two players during this window.

It's only a matter of time before the media get wise to this.they have been ender achieving for the last few years. I think they have not looked padded beating mayo and feel their season is a success if they do that .
Boxcar's son may be the missing piece of the Jigsaw
If you class winning 2 Connacht titles in 4 years, become establish division 1 team and reaching a first All Ireland semi final for 17 years as underachieving what do you call 2009 to 2014 where Galway ended up as a middle of the road Div 2 team with no provincial titles won?

Derby have to beat Northampton first
Have them at home for the replay. Wayne Rooney v United if they win.

Happens after most games as far as I can see across the country and that’s the way it should be. Don’t see the problem with it to be honest.

It’s all coming together now.
Only watched brief highlights, Some fine goals among the six. Thats how to beat a League 1 side unlike needing penalties to beat Rochdale at home in the League cup a few months ago. Will Probably draw Man City or Liverpool away in the next round.

I'd agree with BJ Padden on that James Carr goal, a point effort that dropped into the net. Mayo lead by 2 after 20 minutes

According to Oisin Mcconville this Dessie Farrell era with Dublin could turn out to be more impressive than what they achieved under Jim Gavin. Is that even possible?

25 years since that Cantona kung fu kick, i remember listening to it live on BBC radio 5 and recall how excited Alan Green was on the incident. Can you imagine the outrage on twitter if something like that happened today?

« on: January 24, 2020, 04:06:33 PM »In fairness Ferdinand was asked about that clip after the PSG game, and said he was caught up in the emotion like a fan. He is a bit excitable at times, but would be worth seeing if he would improve United with transfers etc.. He's the only one from the club that shown a interest in becoming a DOF at United.
The role of a DOF needs to be someone that has pervious experience and he doesn't have to be a former player. I think bringing in the likes of Rio or Fletcher they will become nothing more than another PR puppet while Woodward will remain in strong control over each transfers and player contract.
At the moment Woodward is haggling over the price tag of Bruno Fernandes if he wasn't such a idiot when it comes to football matters clubs wouldn't overvalue their players when he comes calling.
To get champions league football for next season via 4th in the league or winning the EL 2 quality players at least are needed to be signed or loaned in during this transfer window, probably 3 now with the long term Rashford injury and its looking more likely the transfer window will be closed without bringing anyone in. Thats on the board and Woodward if they don't do the required business in the next week, worst of all if they fail they will use Ole as a puppet to tell the media that he's happy with his squad and players coming back from injury will be like new signings.
Why needs? United never had one before, so can't compare to previous. Van Der Sar had no experience before Ajax
It's Joel Glazer who pulled the plug on the Fernandes deal, not Woodword.
Because more than any club in the top 8 United need experience to fill those roles. The whole DOF was mostly paper talk anyway as Woodward and Co weren't going to let someone clued in to do the recruitment. On the Fernandes deal it depends on what newspaper you read and it's a signing that should have been done weeks ago.
