Double-u Tee Eff

This summer already rewrote the precedents and our preconceptions about the club's transfer dealings. This is the biggest transfer shock I can remember in 30 years of supporting United. I'm sure I'm not the only one reeling with the strangeness of it.

And the surreal details continue to come in. According to the Guardian the fee is just £6 million and:

"The striker is on £300,000-a-week at Monaco, although United are not expected to cover the full amount."

What? Monaco could be subsiding his wages? Can someone talk me through this?

You all do know if Rojo is not signed off today by the prem he will have to go back on loan. Blind deal still not confirmed as well.

He has been signed off by the prem, the work permit is an Argentine thing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, it's a British thing. You can't get a work permit in the UK whilst under a criminal investigation, I believe.

It's a bit like those guys who workout but only on their top half and have Arnie arms and chest but still the same weedy legs.

I just do not understand Woodward and Van Gaals approach

You don't make friends with centre-backs.

Regarding Rojo, I think the worst that can happen is he will have to do community service in England for his incident with is neighbour back in Argentina.

Don't think it's anything to be too worried about.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe he can do some work with the homeless?

And go house-hunting in Cheshire with Di Maria, Blind and Falcao
----------------------------------------------------------------------
its not that simple though IMO, for that he needs to plead guilty, at which point he gets a criminal record and the work permit gets even tighter..

He also fails the 75% international performances over the last two seasons rule, which the FA promised they were tightening up on this season. do you have any links to show the FA have signed off on him?

There was a BBC article a couple days ago explaining it. It made out it should be ok.

The problem is the defensive side of the team resembles a team QPR would put out. Smalling, not good enough, Jones, not good enough, Rafael, not good enough, Rojo not sure yet etc etc
=====================

How have you arrived at your assessment of Smalling, Jones and Rafael not being good enough. I'm intrigued
