Real are desperate to offload James, aren't they? "Bidding war"

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Is FFP still actually effective though?
Well Monaco had to change the way they operate because of it. PSG and City seem unaffected though. Who knows to be honest.
Yeah I don't actually know the answer myself. Just know people have been claiming city can do what they like as FFP isn't a problem anymore so didn't know if it had been scrapped due to being ineffective or something?
Woodward's more out of touch with reality than a schizophrenic rich kid on acid. Getting sick of this wannabe Galactico bullshit tbh.
Why is this 'bullshit' on Woodward?
The bullshit is from the media. United don't stomp on the rumors because it draws attention to the club which is good.
He's the only constant during the last 5 years of failed Galactico attempts. He also pretty much confirmed it was gonna be a policy in an interview.
It isn't good, it makes look completely inadequate in the transfer market when we are linked to Bale/Griezmann all Summer and end up signing a Perisic or Bruma for 50 million.
I hope we are not trying to sign this perma crock Bale. As much as I rate him but Real would demand a horrend sum and this guy is injured every freaking season for quite a time. No thanks to that.
Who cares? As long as the players we get in improve us.
So is the receptionist. And our failed galactico policy included signing Pogba, Falcao, Di Maria and Schweinstieger. Maybe the managers ought to take the blame given they're most likely the ones picking the players.
I agree. It would be a waste of money. At nearly 28 I can't see his injury problems getting much better either.
They won't.
While his injuries are certainly a concern, the main turn off for me regarding Bale is the fact that the guy doesn't want to play for us. Surely that should be the main reason why we should not be in for him. He's already tuned us down twice - that sends a pretty clear message in my eyes.
I know the story is probably nonsense anyway, despite what these journalists would have you believe. But you would think, as a club, we would have received the message loud and clear by now when it comes to signing Bale.

Already been mentioned I think 2 days ago.
Another lot who appear or think they know exactly what we are going to do?
AS still claim United want Rodriguez
They don’t.

I've never seen it more obvious from journalists that they have no idea what we are buying. Literally plucking names out of their arse and hoping some will stick.
That's my point though, we have so many blindingly obvious imbalances in our team yet all we've done so far is spend 6 months getting Griezmann a new contract.
Exactly, failed. We signed a crocked Falcao when we could have got Costa, we signed a crocked Schweinsteiger, a Di Maria who wanted PSG etc.. Pogba is the only success and even then, we put more pressure on him than the price tag already brought with our relentless commercial whoring of him. Just think back to the Liverpool game.
We should be trying to sign hungry players with a point to prove, in positions that we desperately need to fill. Not big names with big problems like Bale or Griezmann who likes to complain about English weather every time he gets a chance. We have taken our commercial commitments too far and it has led to problems on the pitch.

Not answered quickly then, lol.
Sorry, I meant those two players specifically if it turned out we did sign them.
Not as quick as they hoped then so..
Ah I see - no worries.
Yeah we haven't contacted any other players, nor sounded out clubs and agents. We've just sat on our arse and thought "we have Griezmann".
The transfer window hasn't even opened yet, feck all teams have actually bought players. I guarantee our club is working hard behind the scenes to get Mourinho players he wants. As I said, window hasn't even opened yet. Hell, the 2016/2017 season hasn't even finished yet!
Real sold Makalele, Cambiasso, Sneijder, Samuel, Etoo, Mata, etc. They have sold so many fabulous players and will continue to do so.
But you were right when you said they don't sell their 'best' players...
He said that we have the financial power to sing any player in the world. This was during his first transfer window. He didn't say this would be our policy.
We are 2 full days into the transfer window. Take a deep breath and relax...
Don't forget Robben as well
I'm talking about the past 5 years. No doubt Mourinho will beat Woodward into usefulness this Summer.
Romero is more than capable, so i wouldn't want Navas.
IF..IF De Gea still wants to go then i'd happily take a bale in a swap.
