Well firstly, I agree that Defour's fitness is a concern and I'd prefer that we didn't "take another risk on it". But I just accept that financially, Defour is a big earner and we cannot afford to bring in his replacement and effectively end up with Defour as a very expensive spare part.

"Also we should have 5 centre midfielders in the squad, one of which could be a younger one for the future. Our inability to bring on subs in cm is a big factor in us conceding so many late goals."

Perfectly arguable that we do have a 5 central midfielders, one of whom is a younger one for the future. His name is Dwight McNeil.

Do we plan ahead and target players early? It always appears scattergun and a last second mad scramble to get anyone through the door. Why was £10M spent on Vydra? Because he was cheaper than Rodriguez? Was Vydra a target before the window opened? Or just a panic signing because we sat around for too long?

Why are we not bidding for players now? The window has been open for a while, what are we waiting for again? Nothing about our transfer policy makes any sense to me.

What makes you think we aren't bidding for players?

I think we're one of the better clubs at keeping our business to ourselves

When you say you are not prepared to, what exactly is your plan of action if we don't sign who you want ?

Why do you bother asking questions when you’ve already decided what you think the answer is ?
Not surprisingly your answers align to your negative view of Dyche and the club.

Before you ask - I don’t know the answers either. I just choose to believe Dyche and the chairman when they say we are always looking and that the market is very difficult rather than some made to sh-it that we are sitting round doing nothing till the last week of the transfer window.

Definitely need someone to challenge, or preferably upgrade on Cork. He’s basically unchallenged in his role and his performances last season just weren’t good enough.

Then we would be a winger short. Also i rather get rid of hart. We don't need to be spending so much on wages as we are there.

How many clubs with less money than us have finished above us in the last few years?

It's all very well looking at other comparable clubs and saying that they are better in the transfer market than we are. Maybe they are. But if so, why doesn't the league table prove it? I don't know a better way of judging quality of signings than seeing where we finish in the league. What other fair measurements are there?

We'll certainly be getting rid of Hart and one of Heaton or Pope, most likely Heaton.

All managers have a list of who they want, if they Carnt get 1st on the list they will go to number 2. Background will have been done on all of them. I would guess last summer jayrod was number 1, that didn't work out so they went for number 2, which was vydra. So yes I think he was a target, just not the number one target.

As usual in the transfer window you are going way over the top calling the club over your perceived lack of activity. None of us know what is going on, how it should be. If we know so does every other club in the game.
Go back many years and how many players have we signed before July 1st? Why pay them to sit on their backside? The deal could well have been “done” but hasn’t been ratified.
Take a deep breath and look back at your posts on this topic for every transfer window. It’s the same every time. Just admit Dyche knows what he’s doing. Keeping us up, anything else is a bonus.

The key point is that Dyche himself has said his preference would be to have his signings in earlier. It’s therefore fair to assume that, for whatever reason, it’s difficult to achieve this.

What we don’t know is whether this is down to our strategy, budgets or something else.

Other clubs certainly show that it can be done, clubs with a similar or even lesser budget to our own (alongside those with more).

Perhaps there is a perceived link between money and character. Was it Taylor’s recent complimentary interview that mentioned money and character within the squad? Plenty players out there who will turn it on for a contract and then become a lazy waste of space.

I'm not sure about this one which gets trawled out every summer. It's a couple of weeks wages (perhaps £50k) in a deal involving probably the thick end of £20 million.

Why wouldn't you pay 50m for the best right back in the premier league? With so many years to get better.

He’s said he would ideally like to get players in earlier. He’s also said that he has constraints that make transfers more difficult in an expensive market.

By the same token, he’s also said that he would never want to risk the clubs future and accepts the market that we have to work within.

I’m sure he gets frustrated but not sure he moans about it.

It’s more about the fact that you choose not to believe the club when they describe their strategy and try and explain how difficult the market has become.
Instead you choose to say they have no plan, that they are slow in the market and they have a lack of targets. You say that’s how it appears - but you have zero evidence to back that up and what you say has no logic or sense - or actually any truth.

How anyone with a modicum of sense can come out with what you do when you see the players that we have brought into our club under Dyche’s reign I find incredible.
He has brought in 5 players for a total of around £15m who subsequently went on to play for England and whose value increased to the best part of £100m.
No club or manager in the Premier League has a perfect transfer record but I doubt there are many with a better record than ourselves in terms of both minimising expensive flops and making a profit on individual transfers.

Yet according to you we have achieved all of this without any plan, any targets and leaving everything to the last minute.....just imagine if we knew what we were f’in doing eh ?!!!

He’s arguably the 3rd best English right back, never mind best right back in the Premier League.

He’s a ways away behind Alexander-Arnold and Walker. That’s before you even look at Bellerin and Spanish Dave at Chelsea.

Stop being a drama queen - you choose to come up with your own version of our transfer strategy which differs vastly from what Dyche and Garlick says....so yes you are choosing to believe that they are not telling the truth.

If you mean the year we were in the championship then clearly that’s very different in the Premier League. But you seem to conveniently forget that Ings didn’t want to play for Burnley in the Premier League and Vokes who had been just as important as Ings to the team in the promotion winning season was out injured for the season.

As for taking the money and ran - what exactly are you referring to ? Who took what money and where did they run to ?

Ok - i’ll let them know what you said. They probably didn’t realise that’s what you need to do.
Everything should be fine once they get my email. I’ll tell them it was your idea and i’m sure they’ll be in touch to thank you and even offer you the head of recruitment role.

This Summers current transfer activity. I’d wager that less than half will go straight into first teams. A couple have signed following loans.

Hi KRBFC, Danny Ings was the guy who "took the money and ran." He left at the end of his contract, declined to sign a new one.

I'm sure you remember this.... ;)

He’s a ways away behind Alexander-Arnold and Walker. That’s before you even look at Bellerin and Spanish Dave at Chelsea.
TAA might be the choice if just on attacking nature and Walker on pace but on seeing them all live on a few occasions it would be the Crystal Palace man for me.

Looks almost impossible to get past everytime I have seen him. He didn't give Dwight a sniff whereas he made TAA look a little silly and forced him to get subbed. It led to 4 or so games where the manager didn't trust him and subbed him when it mattered.

I don’t think you can say with any credibility that Wan Bissaka is currently a better player than Alexander Arnold.

I don't think you can say that unless you are a smacked off your tits United fan who still hasn't accepted that maybe their transfer policy need quite a bit of work

I just have and gave a little assessment why. Feel free to tell me why TAA is a better defender.
I have already acknowledged TAA could be described as better attacking although it's far easier to shine in Liverpools system.

He will enjoy playing for United far more.

Tbf, being a good defender is no longer the primary requirement of attacking full-backs these days, in-fact it can be seen as somewhat of an after thought.

Correct, if you have a progressive coach.
It's all trends, you know.

I think this lad United are signing is going to be a very very good player if he keeps his feet on the ground.

If he turns out better than the others I’m not sure but he’s got huge potential.

You said Wan Bissaka is the best RB in the Premier League. A few reasons to back up why that claim lacks any substance or credibility;
- TAA won the CL
- TAA is a full England international
- TAA plays for a much better side
- TAA made 12 assists in 29 games
- WB made 3 assists in 42 games
- Liverpool conceded 22 PL goals last season
- Crystal Palace conceded 53 goals last season

Whereas you’ve claimed that WB is a better RB based on the few times you’ve seen each player live. Which claim is more credible?

Purely as a defender though TAA isn't anything special.

I know, Quickenthetempo claimed that Wan Bissaka is currently the best right back in the league which is a mental claim.

You can’t have seen him in the Euro U21 match with France. You wouldn't have picked him above Lucy Bronze from our ladies team. French winger screwed him into the pitch, then went back and unscrewed him. A long way from a £50m player and this deal shows how desperate ManU are becoming.
