OLE NOT HAPPY

Sat Jan 25, 2014 9:07 am

Solskjaer has already brought in the Norwegian trio of Magnus Wolff Eikrem, Mats Moller Daehli and Jo Inge Berge, while deals for Wilfried Zaha and Ivan Ramis are also in the pipeline.

However, Solskjaer claims further moves have been scuppered by unreasonable demands from both agents and clubs.

"We have been working here for more than three weeks and some agents are taking the p***," he said.

"Some clubs are taking the p*** because they think we have got X amount of money to give away. Of course we haven't.

"There are loads of players I have wanted and had a look at, but then you get the price tag is not realistic."

When asked in particular about the demands of agents he said: "It could be that agents think we have shedloads of money and see we are bottom on the league, I don't know.

"But that's just the business of football with all the money that's in football, but you don't want to see the money disappear.

"You want all the money inside football. We do not have a bottomless pit of money. There are constraints. That's why some deals I have said no to because of the finances of them."

However, Solskjaer is hopeful of making further additions to his squad before the window closes next Friday.

"If I get any busier it will be a very busy last week," he said. "We have got one or two bids in. The squad size is perhaps one or two down on what we want, but we have a couple of bids in and it's down to clubs, players and medicals to be passed."

Agree with him not giving into silly demands but I would seriously consider spending over the odds and getting a quality striker in because that will be the difference in staying up or going down.

January or summer windows don't make any difference to over paying
in fact January is historicaly the time clubs over pay

we all know cornelious was too expensive and probably medel ktc wasn't cheap odemwingie was out bid by us to get him
and im not going to even mention the wages of these
wise up ffs malky used our /tans money like monopoly money ffs :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

What does he mean the squad size is one or two down on what he wants? We have a massive squad. What we need is quality, not more mediocre players.

Oh sorry well done malky, you are a master at transfers, you have not wasted a penny on velikonja, cornelius, brayford, gestede, maynard, kiss, odemwingie. 5 strikers by there not 1 prem goal between them, what a genius malky is. Over 15 millfess and players that have offered zilch.
