The 80m's was for Mateus Fernandes, just because you have that to spend on a specific player and it falls through doesnt mean you have that money to spend on anyone, this is a simple and reasonable business decision

You have to weigh up football and business priorities, these are good business decisions which come after a 20 year period of bad football and business decisions, it remains to be seen whether good footballing decisions will have been made this window, I hope we sign a couple more players

No.

If there’s no high profile transfers available without overspending this summer then so be it, that's a good financial decision, but you can't have it both ways, if you don't want to overspend then you need to work hard to find a couple more shrewd signings like Tielemans and Santos, we need more depth

After the first Premier League game in the past few seasons we've made big money signings in Casemiro, Antony, Ugarte, Ronaldo, so I would gladly take another Lammens type of signing in the coming weeks

I can’t see INEOS ever breaking the £85m+ barrier under us, tbh.

I think we’re always going to be going for “opportunity signings” and “sensible market moves” under them which is swept up as good PR.

This whole “hybrid midfielder” who can play LB and CM (I can literally only think of MLS and Camavinga, and neither of them even want to play LB) reeks of costs cutting

Good PR actually works and would make people like you think highly of the club and ownership, instead everyone is constantly complaining about the lack of signings, these are business decisions

I really hope this season won't be a disaster

Carrick called for signings multiple times in his interviews last week. And Maguire did today

It’s a f***ing disgrace, get over your delusion that INEOS are a well run organisation. They were £18 billion in debt a few months ago

Also for our top “lammens type” targets, we’ve let them be snapped up by Brentford, Sunderland & Coventry since recruitment has sat back on their arse the last 5 weeks

They’re making inexcusable decisions & are just lucky they have a competent manager rn

I want multiple signings

INEOS are not a very well run organisation

Manchester United are being run better as a business (reports from last year show that) but season hasn't started and transfer window hasn't ended so remains to be seen on footballing side, if it ended right now it would clearly be lacklustre

Transfer window is still open yes but more should've been done to ensure they were ready for day one of the PL

I'm struggling to think of a single big Premier League club that has ever done this

Spurs have given it a good go

They've had a good window in a footballing sense and selling players this week means they'll sign players up until deadline day

Yeah but day one they come to the starting line with an improved squad and players that are ready to go

Yes they will add to that further but enough has been done to ensure day one is different than last year

Imagine if they'd done a United and were playing this weekend with 1 new midfielder and nothing else

Finishing 17th two years in a row and starting the season with 1 new midfielder would nearly make them relegation favourites

Finishing 3rd is not an excuse for United to not spend, we need more signings clearly, I think we still have a better squad than Spurs and we have a stable manager too, so I still expect to finish above them and to finish top 4

This window hasn't shown ambition for this season, despite @Grenouille insisting its good PR, every news article, social media post etc. for the past couple weeks about United being negative means the pressure is on and if we play poorly to start the season the noise will be unmissable

They have 100% ran through their usual journalists that there’s been a marked change in how we’re approaching negotiations and moving with fees. It’s disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
