Just saw him in his MU shirt still find it a bit unreal to see him in it, he doesn't look good in red and black
funny it's the people who hate him the most that are the ones that find it hardest to let go
Be easier to "let go" if he hadn't come back agitating our best player - do you not think?
He's putting a bid in for Hibbert now too?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Damn it Moyes, You've gone too far now!
Baines I could take, but Hibbo?
That's a declaration of war as far as I'm concerned!
Dont bother taking your coat off, you wont be there long.

Wow. It was decided during the season that Moyes was leaving. His pay arrangements were made then. I.e. the club agreed to this. I'm sure they were well aware that Moyes may want to start his work before July 1st. If they had made him agree not to bid for any players before then, the club would have had something to say about this bid.
After the players left for the summer, he had virtually no work to do. What responsibilities has he been neglecting to put this bid in? It's clear he's broken no agreement with this bid, if it was even him that lodged it. And as for him being behind the number, well, speculation is being kind. Not that it's the insult people are making out. Many opening bids are quite a way off the mark. Perhaps United don't want to spend much on a full-back this year.
The important bit is, we don't have to accept and we haven't. He'll approach transfers at United the same way he did here, by going for the best deal. That means starting low and bidding higher. As it's the club who's paying his wages, don't you think they'd have had something to say if he'd openly taken the piss out of them? Come on. The club are willing to sell anyone and obviously don't have a problem with early bids.

Well, 'the club' is a fairly elastic concept. Regardless of whether EFC Ltd dont mind (and they said they did, so you're on a fairly sticky wicket there), you should mind when a player like Baines is being snatched away by our former manager.
