well i see the main reason why woodward aint signing those players is because the high wages that they are demanding..u see with no CL football this season, high profile players like vidal, di maria, benatia will be reluctant to join united this season..we cant offer them CL football and in return they demand high wages, thats where the deal is killed..sure united can splash 70-80m on a player as a club fee but agreeing more than 200,000 pounds wages per week is insane cause they cant offer everyone wage bracket close to rooneys...let me ask u united fans who r dying for transfers, who was the high profile player fergie signed except for rvp, berba and veron?...united always signs "POTENTIAL" players and convert them into world class players, prime example ronaldo, rooney...fergie was winning with the same midfield we have today, provided an upgrade with fellani herrera kagawa..now u people understand how incredible manager sir alex was..if fergie can win titles with a shit squad like this then i bet LVG can clinch 4th spot with this team...reason why we lost to swansea is the new style of play and formation united is playing and it will take time for players to understand it..LVG converted bastian schweinsteiger, an avg winger at bayern into a world class CM and convert ALABA who was an avg CM into world class RB..give LVG sometime to implement his philosophy and im sure it will work out...and dont keep ur hopes high on transfers cause the only signings i see coming are Rojo and Blind..
