How about these beautiful quotes from that buffoon, Woodward?

Woodward explained United's squad retention strategy in an interview with fanzine United We Stand.

He explained that, due to the difficulty of signing the quality of players United need, the club were having to tie down others onto long deals.

"It's a multi-year squad evolution analysis," he said.
:mourlmao:

"It's hard enough to get three players done in a transfer window. To get six or seven done is extremely difficult if you are getting proper talent.

"If you choose to churn every player because they are not good enough and you're not extending contracts, you are putting yourself at risk of execution. Sometimes you have to take a broader view."



The Manu squad will now take years to sort out and resolve - with luck.

So many strange situations, from the ever injured Phil Jones ( not a bad player when fit, but he rarely is and takes quite a few matches post injury to get to a good playing level) rewarded with about a £220k pa contract for 5 years, Alexis Sanchez signed on s 5 year contract at about £400k pa but nobody wants to play him, Pogba on a £200k + contract but often doesn't turn up in matches.....the list goes on.

Sure Spurs have their problems with contracts, but for the most part we have avoided locking in average players on high wages and long term contracts which Woodward seems to have mastered.
 
The fact he is talking days for a return tells everyone that he wanted out.

That he had lost interest and that his attitude was disengagement over anything else.

I am comfortable with that but it shows you the danger of retaining a manager who changes character.

He should be wary of believing some of his own hype when he makes his next move.
