AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Manu's transfer activity post Fergie has been shocking. That guy in charge is a fool. Why absolve Fergie when he's to blame? Their transfer activity in Fergie's last few years was shocking and is half the reason they're needing to make such desperate signings now. He thought a core of Jones, Smalling, Cleverley, Zaha, Welbeck etc was going to be the future. Senile old cunt. There were obvious signings that had to be made when Moyes came in and they didn't get any of them. The Woodword guy is terrible. I would agree the problems started in the Fergie era though, he signed a load of crap players and badly neglected midfield and CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Watched a few times last year. Always performed well and led the Nantes backline which was statistically pretty good. I think he will do well and is a very shrewd signing for that fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've gone from Carrick/Cleverley/Anderson/Fletcher to Schneiderlin/Schweinsteiger/Carrick/Herrera/Blind in midfield. Its an improvement, despite the slapdash and desperate nature of trying to get there. The level of neglect of key areas of the pitch by Fergie was so bad that part of me thinks he did it on purpose to make himself look good. I mean did nobody at Man Utd stop to tell Fergie that Ferdinand/Vidic/Evra/Scholes/Giggs would all need replacing and signing Zaha, Nick Powell, Phil Jones etc was hardly the best way of going about doing it.

Village Idiot Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Weird for Real Madrid to go for De Gea after Navas has been truly excellent for them in the first two league games. They will have to sell him now. I'd have waited until next summer. Can't wait for the warm welcome he'll get when he plays at the Calderón. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 @FCNantes defender Papy Djilobodji having medical at @ChelseaFC ahead of £2.7million move. #SSNHQ Will probably be only 4th or 5th choice. Wonder if they've given up on Stones. Probably just a pawn to show Everton that they don't really need Stones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to sell him now. I'd have waited until next summer. Skysports: Contrary to reports in Marca, we understand a deal has not yet been concluded for the sale of David de Gea to Real Madrid. Manchester United and Madrid are deep in negotiations this afternoon and it is understood the Spanish side are keen to have their goalkeeper Keylor Navas as part of the deal.

Zero Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 3 months ago Real Madrid just willing to offer 10m. No doubt Man Utd is the winner given De Gea 100% won't stay next summer. 30m for a player with only 1 yr contract is massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Fergie really had to make himself look good. That's a ridiculous thing to say! He certainly could have left them with better players but it was the end of that definitive manu team with so many players coming to the end. There were obvious holes to fill that weren't addressed when he left and the desperate spunking of money is not looking like it's building a very great team.

sempuki Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 SSN reckon Berahino could still end up at Spurs, and WBA will get Matt Phillips, Charlie Austin and Victor Moses with the money. That would be a quality deal for west brom like. Would love all three of them here. Bournemouth fans getting cocky on Twitter saying Austin is going there and they are now a bigger club than us.

Well I'm finding it very hard to work out why he made such a fucking shambles of his last ~4 years in the transfer window. If it wasn't a deliberate ploy it was was fuckawful management. He left them with an entire generation of players heading towards the end of their careers (Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Scholes, Giggs, Carrick, Fletcher, Rooney) and replaced them with a supposed future nucleus of Jones, Smalling, Rafael, Evans, Cleverley, Zaha, Welbeck, Hernandez etc. Literally the only one he got right was De Gea replacing VdS. He even let Pogba go on a free instead deciding to give Cleverley a long term deal FFS. Then to top it all off he handed the gig of the self proclaimed biggest club in the world to David fucking Moyes. The reason they're now desperately needing to throw 30 and 40 million around at the likes of Di Maria, Depay, Mata etc is because they need genuine quality. It was a very poorly handed transition and Fergie is the man to blame, regardless of what a great manager he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Don't think he did it to make himself look good but I'm certain Ferguson knew Moyes was inheriting a turd of a squad with which Ferguson had admirably been able to overachieve with- in no small part due to the fear factor and cowardice of the rest of the league.

The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fergie made some bad signings but what they really needed was a new manager that played a similar style to Fergie. Moyes and Vam Gaal are very different to Fergie playing style and they need very different players. IMO RVP and the like would thrive under the right management.
