As a club we have an exceptionally bad record in January transfers - you have to go back to John Stones to find the last good one.
Since then we've brought in:
McGeady
Niasse
Schneiderlin
Lookman
Tosun
Walcott

Didn't make it at Leeds? i thought he played in most of the games he was there and then wanted to move on. I'm not sure it was Leeds choice as such.
When you put it like that ......

You’re out there defending Brands in one thread and then in here saying every signing Man Utd have made over the past 3 years hasn’t strengthened them, yet Brands has been here for nearly two years and we haven’t managed to finish above Man Utd during that time.
If Man Utd are stagnating/regressing with signings and we’re supposed to be improving under Brands, why aren’t we competitive with them?
Before you say we’re only 4 points behind them now, we all know that will increase come May. So it’ll be two seasons out of two for Brands in which we haven’t finished above a crisis-hit Man Utd.

Once we get to Sat with none or one signing, then people will start with the ‘we don’t need anyone anyway’ or ‘ no one was available’ shouts, and if we sign 4/5 panic buy duds on Friday, they are ‘exactly what we need’ and ‘great signings’.
I wish they’d just bin the windows off, I don’t see anything positive about them at all.

Don’t be making sense fella.
they will comfortably finish 10+ points ahead of us, Brands is neglecting this season now he’s wrote it off
And if that was completely out of keeping with our recent record when conducting summer business it would be circumstantial evidence that buying in January is not a good idea. As it's not though, it's not.

Can I borrow your crystal ball when you're done?
When Brands came aboard were the relative positions of Everton and Manchester United in terms of wage budget, transfer budget, competition status to attract players,manager players want to come for and deadwood from former regimes to strip out comparable?
Mad in here mate. Some knobheads reckoned we were getting Ancelotti

It isn't a reason not to do business, more of an observation about how bad our previous regimes have been in this market.
I think largely the "type" of player available in January is the issue - it's either players who are unwanted by their current club or ones where you have to pay a big premium to get them. You don't get too many where there's real value for money, aside from the ones where their contracts are running down and they are available for lower fees as a result.

His haircut/hairstyle drives me insane though.

These have been a really boring few days with no new or exciting rumours, but it will be worth it on Thursday night and Friday as new unexpected ins and outs emerge randomly!

He was boss in my Fifa 19 career mode for Sampdoria.
I did pair him up with Mo Besic though so...
All we need is a 6 foot 6 regen striker and we will win the league next season.

Jack Grealish's interview and reaction after being punched by a Birmingham fan on the pitch was classy
