I'm gonna guess that black one is one of the keeper jerseys and the other black and red is the 3rd kit.

The thread is chewing the fat over GK jersey's - we need a transfer and fast.

Unless I'm gone bonkers I remember we were linked with Jorge Campos in the past too. Not as a replacement for Schmeichel but as backup.

That goalie top is horrific.

Will be a bit awkward for De Gea showing up to training in the morning


Even more so when LVG makes him go on his walk of shame

Basically this weeks 5 days so Kew.. I would be surprised if we left on tour without at least 1 more signing.

Isn't it your Dad and brother that usually head on pre-season tours? Are they doing it this year?

Ya, just father and few relatives this year. Was very close to going last year but fell through in end.

You went to few games last year didn't you?

Someone has said this every week of the pre-season :pac:

So, who wants to stand up and give an opinion on when we are actually allowed to be disappointed with the lack of transfer activity?

We are back for pre-season now, its only a few weeks until the season starts but still it seems that it is too early to criticise the lack of signings, so when is a reasonable time to do so, if warranted?

If we haven't signed anyone by the time we fly off to America, I think I'll be getting off on the next stop of the positivity train

People can complain from day 1. It's a football fourm and everybody is entitled to opinion.

Plenty have voiced their concern, you know that, the dog on street even knows that.

If we don't sign anyone by Friday 3pm then I think its safe to say first target signings have been missed for the most.

You are entitled to your negativity any time you want. However so to is everyone else entitled not to be negative, and if you want to participate on a public forum board, you also have to accept that people have every right to counter, debate and dismiss negative opinions for any variety of reasons.

We have this debate every Summer tbh; our inefficiency in the transfer market is at a point where it's expected now for me and not worth getting worked up over.

After all, if we had actually done our business early this year it would have been the exception and not the rule.

pablo128

The fact we have shipped out some players who would have suited the positions we are weak in, particularly going into a Champions League season, fills me full of positivity!

We will sign players, rest assured.

Some turn out for Nani, even bigger if RVP ends up there

Are people entitled to that opinion? Because plenty have been attacked for those opinions.

I think it would be useful to quantify the matter a little. On a rational level, and considering the work needed, ideally when should United have the majority of that work done by?

If there is a common consensus on that it will help to frame any debate about our transfer activity.

My two favourite footballers growing up, being an eccentric short ass keeper who supported Man United. That would have been amazing.

I get the reasoning, but its hard to forget that the players shipped out didn't really figure for us at all last season.

Tbf people who are calm have also been targeted a little with smart remarks etc.

I would be disappointed if we got nobody by pre season tour. This week will surely see some action, surely.

I'm only guessing, but I think most would agree even us on board the Positive Train that few signings before The Tour would be most welcome, and beneficial

So my prediction of no signings this week was right.

Another week of no signings coming

The thing I don't get about ye being so negative about transfers, is that we have no idea what's going on.
It all goes on behind closed doors. Any number of things can happen that we have no idea are happening.
All we can do is just wait.
Being negative is not going to get you anywhere or win any arguements of I told you so, we have no idea what's going on, so discussing transfer policy when we have no clue what the policy is, is just arguing for arguments sake becuase we have nothing better to do.

So it you're going to be negative, just take into consideration, that you and I know exactly the same amount, we know nothing. We hear speculation.

Even if you were to get a consensus on this...there are some posters who, from my time posting are just never happy with United.
There are a few lads here who if United made me feel the way it apparently makes them feel, I just wouldn't bother with it.

Since Mitch has ignored this twice in the last few days, I'm gonna assume I'm blocked, or it didn't happen.

I don't think we are going to get anyone this week either. Think we have missed out on the main targets, or are struggling badly and now signings won't come til near August cause we are going to be starting from scratch on new targets, or at least one we have done little ground work on.

True, but would have been handy for cover during a busy season. There's one thing clearing out dead wood, but I can't imagine they would risk leaving the club light on players for the sake of a poxy few mill that they got.

Pretty good prediction to make, since in any given year, for any given club, you'll be right about 48 weeks out of 52. Nostradamus shit right there.

August is 26 days away. Is that not a lot no?

I reckon its going to be a typical summer transfer window for utd. I was expecting another transfer by now. I think we'll get players but they wont be first choice players, which isnt the end of world.

It also frustrating players are using utd to get bumper deals.

I am that damn good. Utd will only get 2 signings in the summer window

I do not understand what you are getting at here., sorry.

My opinion is that United wanted deals before preseason, which hasn't happened. Second to that is before the tour, which I also don't think will happen now. I think we are going to be closer to August before we see signings and I feel that sets us up for failure as little time to adapt prior to massive games in August.

I hope I am wrong and we get at least two signing in this week, because I feel it is important that we do, but I see nothing to suggest this week will be any different to last week.

Hopefully with preseason actually starting tomorrow LVG will tell Woodward to pull his finger out and get some deals over the line.
