I think it’s best to stick my head out and say it—with the barely lingering hope of jinxing it and being proved wrong—that we aren’t going to sign anyone. [Fergie, prove me wrong.]
We can only go by evidence. And save for the signings we made in the close season, it’s unlikely we are going to sign any.

All of a sudden United have found themselves making—would you believe it—headline news in the transfer market. And what’s more, we have actually put in a bid—reported at around £29m—for Wesley Sneijder.
Inter president, Massimo Moratti, has confirmed this.

Alex Ferguson was apparently “interested” in David Villa. Of course, Villa has since moved on to Barca, and most keen observers of the game would know he was unlikely to ever leave Spain. How convenient!
He then goes on to make another outrageous remark—well not so outrageous, if you think about it.

United kick off their new season by welcoming Newcastle United back to the Premiership at Old Trafford. Oh, and the Premiership also opens with Liverpool v Arsenal and Spurs v Man City.
We’re also going to be having back-to-back clashes with Arsenal and Chelsea twice — in December and late April/early May.
The title run-in seems a bit tough with a whole bunch of away trips. Anyway, here are some of the fixtures, and for obvious legal reasons we can’t post all of them. So head over to the site to read the rest. Of course, get back and discuss them here.
Early Phase:
Sat Aug 14 Newcastle United H
Sat Aug 21 Fulham A
Sat Aug 28 West Ham United H
Sat Sep 11 Everton A
Sat Sep 18 Liverpool H

… well, blame the Sun for that.
I was contacted by the Sun a couple of days ago in some sweep stake thing, and they have drawn me to represent North Korea. I’ll support N Korea so that you don’t have to. Here’s the video:
Incidentally, our friends at RoM have been handed Brazil. He did an interview with me today, so check it out here.
Of course, I’m excited about the world cup. And I will hope to enjoy this month to the fullest.

The cynical among us have come to accept this. The optimistic claim this is a smokescreen.
Either which way you look at it, at the moment there is no transfer activity to report. There’s little one can update the blog with, other than “Nothing new to report on the transfer front.”

Well the only thing of significance that’s happened, for what it’s worth, is the approval of Javier Hernandez’s work permit.
Chicharito also scored Mexico’s only goal in their 2-1 defeat to Holland.

You said a few things today. Let me quote them for you, and then respond.
“The fans are obviously passionate about the club but sometimes they need to focus on supporting the club a bit more than getting carried away with the technicalities of who’s in charge.
On the green and gold campaign: “Yes, it’s a bit of a distraction when the fans are doing the chants at every game and things like that,”
