But we said this last summer and look what happened.

There isnt a Premier League club in greater need of getting quality through the door.

If Ancelotti does one (which he may well do if this summer doesnt go to plan) the same fans moaning at other fans moaning will no doubt be crying when we appoint Eddie Howe or Sean Dyche as our next manager.

Im not particularly bothered that we havent signed 10 players yet - im just giving my opinion that if you walk away from a deal for one of your no1 targets over a few quid and said target ends up jibbing you off when you want to renegotiate you cant have any complaints and if anything it shows how we still haven't learned our lessons in the transfer market.

If the stories are true we had a deal agreed with the CLUB which we have tried to restructure. The terms for the PLAYER will be the same, so not sure why that would make him jib us off.

And if anything, it shows the exact opposite. Our lessons in the transfer market in the last few years are 'DONT OVERSPEND' which is what we're trying to do here.
 
I'd be very surprised if United were in for Gabriel. It has a similar feeling to the Mina deal at this point. I think we were the only club ever in for Mina but new 'leaks' were always coming out about United and other clubs and it turned out it was probably all just a front from Barca to get us to overpay. I like Mina but we really did overpay for him, he cost nearly £30m despite Barca getting him for less than £10m I think only 6 months before. Obviously he had a good World Cup but not enough to triple his value.

We obviously can't fall into the same trap with Gabriel. We need to stick to our value of him despite the incredibly short time-frame we have on the start of next season. I don't think we'll get drawn in to an agent's game this time around as we aren't desperate for another centre back.

Thats the bottom line mate.

Gabriel cant sign for Utd if we had tied the deal up months ago instead of trying to save a few quid.

It's hard to know what's true and what's false with this lad but if he moves to United it's quite clear why and it won't be because of money, We finished 12th.

Oh look at me

Im so cool as I dont care what business we do in the market.

I don't care if the club never does sweet all again

I'll keep paying my season ticket and clap clap clapping cuz im so cool

Thats how the usual rubbish looks when you see the same suspects moaning at other fans for moaning mate.

The funny thing is im not even that arsed about the transfer window - im just responding to someone who states that if we miss out on Gabriel its not the clubs fault when in this instance it clearly is...
