This transfer window/Marwood

[Happy Feet]

A lot of happy clappers are jumping on the 'Marwood's doing a good job bandwagon!!!

The fact is, Marwood is terrible and this window has been an absolute shambles...

Obviously, Khaldoon and our owners are notorious for employing wankers!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing the number of people who think they have even the faintest bit of insight into what role Marwood has had to play in our inactivity this window. Watch Roberto's press conference and more importantly his answer to the question about whether or not he'll sign Javi Martinez.

In response to the OP - if you have been biting your tongue for 3 months, why couldn't you wait another 7 days until the transfer window officially shuts so you can better a more informed judgement.

At the end of the day neither me, you or anyone else on Bluemoon has a clue as to which players we want, why we want those players or how we are conducting our business. You say Barcelona strengthened their squad after they won the treble but you conveniently forget to mention that Real Madrid who won the Spanish league last year haven't made a single signing this summer, despite the public battle for Modric.

We all know because it was made public knowledge of our interest in Van Persie but in our current position we don't need to take gambles on players who are way overpriced and who aren't value for money. United are desperate to win the title back from us so have taken that gamble and it may pay off but I don't think any club with thoughts about long term sustainability would have risked upwards of £40m (transfer fee + wages) on an injury prone 29 year old who will have very little resale value in a couple of years. The Hazard situation was different because as far as we're all aware the fee was agreed with Lille, personal terms were agreed with the player and the only stumbling block was the £4m agent fee that only Chelsea were willing to pay (hence us and United both pulling out of the deal).

As a club we have set out with a very different strategy from previous years because we have refused to pay agent fees, we have refused to pay players contracts up and we have stayed strong in terms of not backing down to the likes of Tevez and Adebayor. Our dealings have been very professional and conducted out of the public eye, we are now trying to forge relationships with other clubs and do deals that are good for us, the selling or buying club and the player involved rather than just throwing money at every situation like we have in the past. So while we may miss out on a couple of targets this window, it will teach clubs who do want to deal with us in the future that we won't be messed around by them, players or agents. Look at the deal for Rodwell - the press knew fuck all until it was done and dusted, we dealt with Moyes in a very dignified manner in comparison to the deal for Lescott and they'll be very happy to deal with us again in the future. That's how business works these days, you have to build relationships and do things professionally or people will not take you seriously. Trust the people in charge, after all we've made significant progress every single year since the takeover on and off the pitch.

When Evans played in the pre season friendlies, the commentators took great delight in saying he was a genuine squad number 70. It's only common sense that we had to curb our spending until we offload some. If it means one quiet window, so be it. I have loved he transfer windows and the frorm on here ever since the Sheik took over. We have won the league and the first 15/16 don't need too much tinkering. We have been spoiled, fun over in terms of huge transfers until we trim our squad. I second the trust the people in charge quote.

Bringing this topic up with only 7 days has a danger.

It could distract Mr Marwood and our transfer team who are entering their busiest period.

I wouldnt be surprised if several posted on this thread to shout up for their corner?

I am sure RM must be frustrated, but hopefully we can do something in the time remaining?

Ye because I'm sure city look at bluemoon transfer thread to see who we want.

TBF Ric and Mods have said their are many ip's come from Carrington and the club certainly monitor Bluemoon. So it is not so fanciful. The thread title would attract Carrington interest.

I'd suggest you look up the definition of the word fact.

I wouldn't say he is doing a good job because I haven't got a clue if he is, for the same reason I wouldn't say he's doing a bad job.

Very few people are actually in a position to judge him, despite, it seems, many believing that they are.

The window hasn't closed yet so a judgement on that is premature.

Whilst it's true that people from the club read the forum (we don't really know who), monitoring it is a bit strong, in fact it verges on paranoia, I am sure all clubs try and take on board what fans are saying, but I very much doubt they will change policies based on the hysterical rantings of an anonymous poster on an internet forum

Be careful, some people find it strange to talk to yourself out loud.
