Ed Woodward quotes

Let's just face facts. We're a tight fisted club that has never nor will ever win anything.

We certainly should be in the market for
A couple of £30 million pound players if we have any European ambition.

The fact of the matter is, 30.75 our old record fee, will be surpassed soon enough. United are generating more revenue, so naturally the prices of signings will increase. Can we spend 70m? Of course we can. But it would have to be on a special player. With our revenue streams increasing every season, our ability to spend more does.

The morons on here actually use that fact the we "only" have a record spend of £31.5m on a single player as a bad thing?

I'm glad we have avoided the circus of the £50m+ player and still competed.

Of course, times are changing and prices keep going up, so we will break that record soon enough, for the right player... But we will also continue to look for young potential... and that is exciting.

Hopefully the young potential we will look for, will be of a much better standard than Zaha.

If it was true then why were we blown out of the water for Hazard and Moura deals?

doesnt take a brain surgeon to work out what Ed means by his statement. Short of drawing pictures here goes...

Yes, United might pay 60-70m for a player.... but the ultimate criteria is that we get value for money... which narrows it down to exactly just 2 players in the world

=========

We should have thought about that before spending £24m on Anderson.

Of course, times are changing and prices keep going up, so we will break that record soon enough, for the right player... But we will also continue to look for young potential... and that is exciting.


Virtually every club does this. It's no exclusive to utd

Edward Woodward as Sargeant Howie in the Wicker Man

there is a big diff between 24m and 70m. Ok we paid 24 for Ando. but we wouldnt pay 70m for him nor would we have paid 70m for Hazard or Lucas whatsisname. We got off lightly with Hazard with Chelsea taking him away from us last year. Its as if some people think that Hazard was the difference between Chelsea and United last season?

I think Ed would pay 60-70m for Messi and maybe Ronaldo, but it stops there
