If I were Moyes, I'd have a crack at Gustavo then leave it. We don't want to make any desperate buys. I'd rather have Cleverley, Powell or Jones than Fellaini. Baines would be a terrible signing as Evra is just as good, similar age and a huge part of our team.

De Rossi is getting on a bit, would rather get a younger guy. If we bring in Fellaini/Gustavo this season, we could always try with Gundogan next season?
De Rossi is such a beast though and still one of the best in his role. One of my favourite players, wouldn't want to see him at United, remember being pretty annoyed when you were linked to him a few years ago, would have been a great signing.

He's good and a few years ago would have been a cracking signing, but at his age now we would only have to get a replacement in a couple of years.
Where is Powell?

Recovering from surgery.
Selling Rooney (especially to another premier league club) would defy all logic. Without Rooney our team will be considerably weaker than lasts seasons, which is even more stupid when you consider the potential of both City and Chelsea.

Yeah, agree here. Only thing is that you can get an inflated fee, the fact rooney has 2 years remaining(take the cash now than get rubbish offers next season?) and that he's on high wages would make some sense for a transfer. I think Chelsea will put in 35 million late in the window and leave it at that.

Only make it public if there's a high chance of it happening or if you want to unsettle a domestic rival's player via the media(rooney). Simple rules man.
Do you expect to see any more transfer activity this window? Defence is sorted, attack is fine bar wingers who I think will buck up this season.

We'll probably end up with Fellaini or no one tbh. Even if Moyes doesn't like Gustavo for whatever reason, if we put enough money on the table then I'm sure Leverkusen would be willing to part with Lars Bender, who I think would be perfect for our midfield.
Rooney should not be sold to Chelsea under any circumstances.
I am honestly starting to hate Moyes. Only one signing, whereas city have got all these world class player. I can only hope they don't get along in the changing rooms and let their egos take over again.

If your already starting to 'hate' a manager, before his first game..
Then maybe your supporting the wrong team...
Try chelsea, - you would fit in better there...

John Henry making clear he will not sell to Arsenal, makes me feel better that someone is having a worse transfer window than us.
I cant understand why everyone should have to stick with moyes, yeah id give him a few years but what if he is truly awful? how long would we have to put up with him?
He will never emulate fergie and we will have to accept that. But the utd board should of got a massive signing to give moyes a bit of time.

Even though Arsenal need some signings, I still feel like he's doing them a favour. Sure he's a talented player, but £50m is a risk for the human being, not the footballer.

And how exactly do you know that? We'll give him at least four years to win the league. Probably more. He'll be fine.

He's on a 6 year contract, I think we give him an evaluation after 3 years if it's that bad and if there's any signs that its going to improve then keep him around and support his vision. If not I reckon he goes after that.
But I don't think we have anything to worry about ... he won't be awful. I'm confident he'll still be here in ten years time.

Not too sure just how many managers could do that to be fair. Also remember Fergie needed a few years before his first success.

That's all well and good, but football has changed. After the domination period, quite a lot of fans got on Sir Alex's back when we didn't win anything over those couples years Chelsea became a force. It will be a lot worse for Moyes if he wins nothing over the next 2/3 year period. He should be given time, but the fans (and board) over the last 20 years have been used to the team winning.
I'll be extremely surprised if some fans don't start making a noise if we're quite far off the pace this season.
The club should have done a lot better this summer, though. I know that there is still time, but if signings are made, they have already missed our pre-season. The squad is good, but midfield clearly needs strengthening. Moyes should have been given the best squad we could have gotten to make this transitional period easier.
