However later on some clowns who were not sent there by the club went to the the Spanish league’s offices to try and negotiate a deal but they left without lodging their cheque citing “bureaucratic problem”.
It also being reported that Man utd had a bid for Wesley Sneijder rejected by Galatasaray as well as a late bid for Real's Khedira. On the Coentrao deal inasemekana Real were prepared to let the 25-year-old move on but only if they could bring in Guilherme Siqueira, who was available from Granada as his replacement...."By the time United firmed up their interest, Granada had agreed to loan Siqueira to Benfica - and subsequently Real decided not to sanction Coentrao's switch.I hate to say this but after all this confusion inaonekana Fellaini was a "panic buy" especially when you consider the fact that you paid more than his original buy-out clause......good player though."
As a Man-u fan I have to agree with you that this transfer period was a joke for united. I mean everyone knows where the team is lacking but the management just will not buy or will take forever to decide and place their bids.
I will not console myself that Moyes knows what he is doing coz if he knew he would have silverware with his name on it at goodison park which he hasn't. He is just an ordinary mid table manager trying to prove us wrong.
