I have not read the other comments but I cannot agree more with op especially given our track record
I am not too fussed about going for a specific player but we need to be improving and not standing still or bringing in players last minute
This is one of the reason why the sancho saga annoys me. We spend so long on one transfer and this looks like another if we are in fact in for him.

I seems quiet overall in the transfer market in the PL and Europe which is not surprising given what's going on in the world

Chelsea have Werner and Ziyech done
Arsenal have Cedric, Mari and Partey
Liverpool have signed a LB
City signed Torres and Ake
Leeds have made 6 signings.
Teams are doing business.

First priority must be a reserve penalty taker.
1st signing - title in the bag now

We all know Ed is a liability even if he does seem to have improved since taking the job.
I'm not really sure why other clubs seem to be able to get their business done early (City) yet we don't. Maybe if our business doesn't go too well we'll get another story about how the club are looking to bring in a DoF.

I should have added that my sense of a quiet transfer window so far wasn't meant as an excuse for Woodward the muppet.

Don’t forget Marc Jurado and Alvaro Fernandez.
And the Academy has signed three more U18 players. So that’s six in already really.
See how easy it is when Judge and Woodward aren’t involved?

Unless I'm missing some very recent developments, if you're claiming Arsenal have Partey then you might as well be saying we've got Sancho. And if you're saying they've got Cedric and Mari then you might as well include Bruno and Ighalo for us.
You are right on the whole though. Unfortunately by all accounts Ed seems to have got it into his head that last summer was some kind of overwhelming success which meant we didn't need to make any amendments to our approach.
This apparent policy he has of pursuing one transfer at a time was actually quite costly last summer, and I fear it will be this one.

I agree with the points you made.
TBH, given the number of players we need there is no reason we should have not completed a transfer or 2 by now.
My hope is that we completed a couple transferd and we are simply keeping everything under wraps. Don't judge me, I am a bit of a dreamer.
I am more concerned about Ole's ability to identify the players we need than Ed acquiring those players. We can't really say the players we signed up to now (even including Sancho) are Ole's signings. Other than Sancho, no rumor United signing anyone. Hope Ole gets it right this summer as it can decide if we can get closer to the top two.

Ole doesn’t identify players.
The scouting department does that. They then present recommendations to Ole’s team and Murtagh’s team to assess.

Goodbye RDD, again.
We’ll need a Pogba replacement. He’ll be worse than useless now that he’s got the distraction of his e-sports team.
I'm not remotely concerned about Ole knowing who is right for the team. I have a lot of doubt about Ed being the chap to get them.
And even less about RDD 's ability to find them before Ole.
To put it simply Ole knows far more about football than the two of us combined.
