alrite everyone!calmed down slightly now!having read a lot of posts I do agree with the fact we do have a strong squad with some very good top players and have no issue with that. My problem was with the starting 11 and I believe we have to many "squad players" in the 11; young, clevs, welbs, giggs (maybe not even good enough squad)!fellaini I think will improve us a lot and we will be there or there abouts come may esp if we dip into the market in jan!

Along with I think all of red fans its just the way our club has been handled the last 2-3 months!i like moyes and believe he's not at fault for this but woodward and the board have a lot of questions to answer!

my question to you guys do you think we will get any answers?;to why we wasted so much time on cesc (mayb realistic while villanova in charge with a realistic bid, why we bid silly amounts for players (ie baines & wig), why wait til the last minutes on deadline day to act hence missing out on coentrao and mostly what happend to the herrara deal? eds can you shed some light on exactly what "went down" with this deal?

long time reader, new poster and love it!keep up the great work eds!C'mon Utd! {Ed002's Note - This is from another Editor but I would trust it to be correct: Putting aside all of this flak and interference related to any "imposters" at the Spanish FA, the efforts made by Manchester United to purchase Ander Herrera were over before Ballague implied that these "imposters" extirpated the transaction. The simple truth is that once the price being asked and the costs to be eventually paid were clear to the club, they could see it was well beyond the value the club placed on the player. At that point the club stepped back. So it was the cost and not the distraction of any "imposters" that scuppered the deal.}

MU were never going to pay €44m for Herrera, but with more time there could have been a way around paying the extra costs. It was a desperate final day trying to get Modric, Khedira late on, we had all summer to agree a deal with either.

Cheers ed!

Totally agree syd!just think woodward has made us look abit stupid this window!just seemed everything we did this window had "mug" written on it!low bids, unrealistic offers etc and then to get a player that would have cost 4.5million less a few weeks ago just sums up our last 2 months!but heres to a good season!
