    Man U are selling the vision of the club to the player then moving once interest is known. This is otherwise known as competence. Our approach is cock handed and amateurish. As Simon Jordan said agreeing with the selling club is easy as that’s just numbers, but the player has the power and didn’t Eddie Howe even say they only went for players who want to come here?

    It is an absolute farce, a debacle. YAR and Eales have an awful lot to explain about this summer.

    You can guarantee that if Staveley and Mehrdad were still here we would have signed some of those targets.

    I don’t think we’d have even been aiming for those targets. We’d have been more worldly.

    Andy Howe needs to removed from any position of influence and if his uncle doesn't like it then tough ****.

    I can't believe you are describing Man Utd's recruitment approach as 'competence'. They have systematically ****ed themselves over the past few years through a grossly inadequate recruitment policy that has landed them with a regular procession of managers that are not fit for purpose and overpaid players who are not up to standard. This has meant that they have gone from being the team to beat to the team to laugh at and left them with a squad full of players that don't want to be there but they can't move on without taking more losses. Up until they managed to offload Rashford they had 5 players who they didn't want that they were paying £1million quid a week.

    They should be a lesson in how not to run a football club. As one of the richest clubs in football PSR plays right into their hands but they have wasted the opportunity to the point where even they might be running foul of it.

    Honestly, we need to move on from it. He wants Man Utd.

    They appear to have learned from their mistakes and changed tact this summer. Sesko, Mbuemo and Cunha is a decent window. Add Baleba who is a super young player.

    For context that video is from his Bournemouth days (over 5 years ago) and not really relevant

    I mean when you consider our targets and offers since he ascended to his current role I think it’s very relevant, even if dated. And he sounds like a man child who spends most of his time on Football Manager.

    New rumour that apparently we're now after Wissa as our primary striker signing, and are looking at bringing in Brahmin Diaz to pay as a creative secondary forward along with him. Expectations of it costing around £90m for the pair.

    Recruitment is easy when you are prepared to offer salaries of over £200K/week.

    You have criticised our transfer policy for trying to sign umm, Cunha, Mbuemo and Sesko. The only difference between their policy and ours is that they got them.

    We may be trying to punch above our weight on transfers but I am sure that there would also be a load of criticism if the first thing we did was go and sign 4 unknowns from Belize in the hope that they would be up to PL standard. We need to seriously upgrade our Academy and quickly and we have been badly let down by our last two DOF's in that respect.

    Getting rid of Isak for players that actually want to be here and give 100%. He downed tools a long time ago.

    I want Isak gone to be honest but it has to be on terms that are beneficial to NUFC. So we dont sell him until our recruitment is done or nearly done. If we sell him this week for example then all our target prices will jump up £10-20M as they know we have money and are desperate

    I suspect that is why Howe said that he wanted business done early. It wouldn't surprise me if he knew Isak would pull this ****.
