A lot of people on here are losing their collective shitt over United not making the signings clubs like us are supposed to have made by now but there is a possible good reason for it.
The champions league qualification round. A lot of players and clubs are waiting to see who qualifies and who doesn't before the crazy round of transfers take place. I'm sure dozens of deals are lined up all over Europe while clubs see who's in the CL this season.
No, United aren't in Europe but I'm sure once the cl qualifiers finish and the ball gets rolling we'll join the Merry go round and get a couple of players.
I'm sure we're just doing what lots of other clubs are doing. Playing the waiting game and seeing what happens.
It may be the last week of the window but it's by far and away the most important week of the window. MuDD and his sources reckon big stuff is going to happen. I have no reason to doubt him.
Final week of the window.

merry, yeah perhaps, the last bit is especially true. But clubs just have their own way of doing transfers. Some are coy about them and some are quite open. No right or wrong way for me.
I suppose the advantage to playing it out in the open is that at least for us fans we know who the club are targeting. You only have to look at the frustrations of the people on this board this summer due to not knowing what is going on to see the negative side of the coy approach to transfers.

It's no different to previous windows really, I expect most of our actions to happen on the final day, much like last year. Whether we'll be able to bring in what we need, who knows (and I include the club in that statement and that is part of the problem).
We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Signing Di Maria wouldn't address the problem of having a pi$$ poor midfield

That is true. It'd just address the problem of having pi$$ poor wingers.

I think di maria is there if we want him.The only question is does LVG want him or not.
___________________
It would be weird if he didn't want him, having bemoaned the fact that we don't have a winger like him just a couple of weeks ago!
LVG: "I don't have a top quality winger like Ronaldo or Di Maria."
RM: "Here, have Di Maria."
LVG: "No I don't want him. I have Ashley Young."
