Jose not happy with Ed getting the transfers done seemingly....

If Woodward was given a list in March then it's pretty crap that it's a few days before the tour and things are not finalised.
Clubs are unwilling to let players go until they have replacements confirmed.

I'm sure he will but it would have been nice to have a couple more done and settled before the tour!

Woody is inept at dealing with transfers. Hopefully he delivers what Jose wants, but will he, and at what price?

I thought it was Jose who decided (on the same day) that he didn't want him after all?

Maybe I should have put a question mark after my post. I've no idea.

Alpinestars may have more info?

We want the best players in the world and their clubs don't want to sell. I think Woodys doing okay.

The only truly poor summer window was the one with that Herbert Moyes.

Who knew Di Maria, Falcao and Depay were going to flop we were all excited.

I think that was probably spin from the club to try and stop it from looking like Griezmann turned us down to stay at Atletico (due to the ban and not wanting to leave them in the lurch). It will probably still happen, just next summer instead - it looks like Costa is bound for Atletico, eventually, but that might be holding up the transfer of Lukaku to Chelsea etc. It's all a chain, sometimes.

In the same way Ronaldo's buggering about at Madrid has probably complicated the Morata deal etc. I'm sure these things are never as simple as turning up with a big red pot of cash and haggling.

Seems like Wayne is off to Everton on a free, if the Sun is to be believed (I know, I know), which probably is the best outcome for all concerned. Legend, but time to move on. Does put a little more pressure on numbers though up front.

We've got Rashford, Martial and looking like Morata up top. Maybe Zlatan too if we keep him post injury! Not bad if you ask me wink

Seems to be hitting a lot of media today. If he's not on the flight Sunday he's off. I hope it's Everton, be a good end of career for him.

No more info unfortunately. As per a few weeks ago, Jose doesn't want him. Wanted a number 9, but I'll take anyone at this stage! Bloody Woodward.

Well yes, it could look like that and it would be a good lineup for the season... but right now only Rashers and Tony getting on the plane to start pre season. Kinda hoping this season we would hit the ground running with new signings bedded in, but so far that's still looking uncertain. Fingers crossed on Morata, and then hopefully we can make an informed decision on Zlatan in time to do something about it if he doesn't look like being an option (for whatever reason).

Rooney isn't good enough for Everton and will embarrass himself further. He should retire before he becomes a laughing stock.
