Read an article where Woody is saying 'we can break the transfer record if we want' I think this means they've been thinking about it a lot, but the only player we've been linked with who would break the British transfer record would be cavani. Interesting, don't know how he'd fit in but I'm sure we'd use him well iffffff we ever sign him, unlikely I feel.

What are you talking about?

It doesn't mean anything, for the past 5 or so seasons EVERYONE has been saying Man Utd don't have any money.

Ed is saying, "look, United fans you've got nothing to worry about, we're aware that purchases need to be made and we're in possession of the finances to make it happen, the value doesn't really matter to us, as long as it's the right player".

Also, that means any transfer record, the United one, the British, or world.

If you're sitting there going THAT MUST MEAN WE'VE SIGNED CAVANI, RONALDO, NEYMAR, MESSI AND VIDAL! Then you're mental.

Just wait for the "Ronaldo to return Old Trafford" rumours to start tomorow to ease the boredom

He was quoted saying British record not world record, which is 50 mill, no one we've been interested in has been over 50 except cavani so who else are they going to talk about? I didn't say messi Ronaldo neymar or whoever you're going on about, have some sense

It is all cheap talk anyway, Woody can say whatever he wants, but who is out there that we can buy for a world transfer record? No one.
Basically, it is all a load of bull as Woody knows, as we all do, that there is no one out there to break the transfer record on.
The statement is meant to say we can spend, but what a shame there is no one out there to spend it on. Typical Glazer/Woody ploy. They should just concentrate on getting Vidal, pogba, hummels, de Maria, if they're that serious about spending money!

I do agree, it's cheap talk until we make the necessary signing.

The season tickets have been renewed, they can say what they like now and it's going to be fine until May.

I'm confident we'll spend, but if we don't I GUARANTEE this is what the club will say:

"Last season, we had a bad manager and a squad lacking in confidence - we've made our most important signing, LVG."

If he then fails to get us top 3-4, the club will roll out the same chest-beating, sponsor-attracting bumf from May onwards. Rinse and repeat.

I am a little surprised at Woodward giving any quotes about ability to spend big because surely that gives another club the ability to ask for more. Personally I would rather have a chief exec who doesn't give interviews, who says nothing and who just gets the job done so LvG can stand alongside the player when signed. I want to see action not words so after last season he should simply deliver then sit at home with a good scotch happy in the knowledge of a job well done. That is the satisfaction of the job, not his picture in the paper together with quotes in the papers
The thing is we have heard it all before and he only gets off when the top players arrive. Look at LvG comments on the tour and preparation, doesn't mince his words. LvG is not SAF and I can bet if a player he asks for doesn't come in, especially due to penny pinching, it won't just be Woodward, we will all know, especially as LvG right now has a strong hand following the last years problems.

That's what I've been eluding to red man. He is a self publicist he can't help himself . He wants the credit for signings. Just get on with it talk about if it happens. He just makes himself look a bigger k--b than he already does.
