What a transfer window this has been. Schweinsteiger, Depay and Darmian done. Maybe Schneiderlin is close.

No team in the league has done better signings than us. Fantastic deals and all of them. Now get Schneiderlin signed and we are set for midfield and attack. Only CB and back up striker if hernandez leaves is needed.

Do we need Schneiderlin now that Schweinsteiger has been bought ?

Utd are acting wisely in the transfer market this summer after paying way over the odds last summer.
Schweinsteiger,Depay and Darmian are all prudent buys and Valdes for free last year was also excellent business.

Still need a centre back and a striker though.

Valdes wasnt a buy? He joined for free in january and played two games for us and looks like he is leaving for turkey now and probably on a free too so we lost a few quid on him id say.
The other 3 tho are very good buys.

Great news about Bastian. Always rated him highly and he was aplayer I would have always wanted to see in a United jersey. Hopefully Sneiderlin and Ramos are next. Don't know much about the Italian lad we signed. Is he the answer to our right full back position. Have any posters here seen him play

Well no.

He's as good as we could hope for without Champions League and less money to spend than Utd.

I'm sickened by our blanket bomb purchasing last summer. I wish we'd done last year what Utd are seemingly doing now - throwing it all at world class players.

Yeah I know he wasnt a buy ,he was free ,good business for a top keeper.

I doubt he will go to Turkey,Utd cant afford to let 2 keepers go at the same time.

Do we actually need a stiker though. Rooney has to play up top in his favoured position and can do this on his own supported by the likes of Mata, Di Maria and Depay. I would like to see Wilson get more game time also and if Chicarito stays we should be okay. Midfield and defence last year were are big problem areas

Say what you want about age, but I've been going around all morning grinning from ear to ear at the thought of Bastian bloody Schweinsteiger playing for us next year.

Why does it matter about pool can fans not enjoy a great signing for what it is, both signings are fantastic business for what the clubs require.

This. Don't announce "urgent transfer business" when all you're holding is your own balls.

No he's not. He's a very good player. Would be a good signing for any team in the PL.

Of course it was but the papers in England including some "decent" journalists made the attacks personal. For that it has ultimately backfired as now they aren't even living on scraps - United just aren't giving them anything.

I posted a few days ago a journalist in England who was surprise when he heard from Italy about our talks with Torino.. Turns out United have been in discussions for last 4 months without anyone knowing a thing

He's a decent player. A good signing for Liverpool, certainly not in the Schweinsteiger class but a good signing for Liverpool all the same

on the signing. :pac:

Never seen as much hype around an almost 31 year old whose best years are far behind him.
Still better than nothing but it says a lot about how expectations have fallen.

I think if he is our only midfield signing and we miss Schneiderlin it will be dissapointing but this is an excellent start and a proper quality addition.

Not saying it is, but his best days are behind him, and I don't really see it as a major coup for the club.
Schneiderlin will be a much better signing.

He's a world class footballer but his best years are behind him. It's the type of purchase Ferguson wouldn't have made, not unless he was desperate (RVP). I think it's a legitimate criticism. If there's anything trendy happening here it's you labelling someone a hipster because they think differently. That seems to be quite popular at the moment.
