    Nothing going on this window, could it be because the club refuses to spend money on somebody who will not be here in the summer?

    Quite happy with that mate. Didn’t want to see LVG given anymore money to waste to be honest. Now let’s wait and see what happens in the summer. Hopefully we can get Simeone in before Chelsea does.

    mmi – whilst LvG could be blamed for wasting money on players who are just not UTD standard, the blame must be shared with Woodward. Both are to blame for signing Fellaini and Schneiderlin. But as long as Woodward has influence over the signing of players – witness the idiotic attempts to sign Neymar and Ronaldo – more players of the calibre of Fellaini and Schneiderlin will be on their way to OT.

    Concernedfan, do you think Schneiderlin was somebody LVG wanted or agreed to have in the squad because he was available?

    You say you didn’t want Schneidelin but he’d be a decent player if he had better around him. Every team needs a snotter.
    For me the biggest wastes were Fellaini and Mata. The former is self explanatory but Mata is to lightweight to slow and is a very poor version of David silva. He’s probably the only player with any considerable resale value.

    When Schneiderlin signed for us he was the signing that excites me the most because he was undoubtedly the best holding mid in the league. His regression can only be due to the coaching setup in my eyes.

    Memphis was the best player in his league, Darmian was the best RB in Italy when he arrived as well. Herrera was called up to the Spain squad before he arrived the list goes on.

    The pattern shows that players get worse under this coaching setup. My finger is pointed squarely at them.

    Scholsey – about Schneiderlin.
    I suppose we’ll never know the ins and outs of his being signed.
    So I suppose we can’t allocate blame. LvG may have had the first and final say, on the other hand the initiative may have come from Woodward.

    Hatters I totally agree with what you wrote about players getting worse when they arrive. Although there are other factors such as a new league new team etc but there is no doubt players are not playing their best and the coach is responsible for that especially if its most of our 11.

    Players get worse when joining United is no news. Its been like that for years.

    I generally don’t have a problem with our signings, Fellaini and Rojo aside. As Hatter pointed out, most of us were excited about our signings when they arrived because of their reputations. Its LvG’s philosophy and tactics that have halted their developments and made them look poor. I bet you could put Aguero in our team right now and he’d look like Danny Graham.

    We’ll never all agree with who is a good signing and who is bad so its pointless to debate that as its all subjective. In terms of January signings, its generally never a good time to buy. The big clubs seem to all realise that now.

    Probably for the best we didn’t make any big signings. LvG has been given a lot of money to spend. Yes we have had a few unfortunate injuries but everybody must deal with injuries. Bare minimum this season must be a 3rd place finish and automatic Champions League qualification.

    Considering we are the biggest under-performing team in the PL, I’m surprised we didn’t sign at least a FB. Whether that’s a good sign or not, giving loads of money to a lame duck manager in the summer doesn’t strike me as a sound long term plan or strategy either! Wudwud has presided over an utter shambles now for almost 3 years. It’s time he and LVG were held accountable and proper action taken. Those fans still paying to watch this shite need to make themselves heard louder!
