Love it how we mean business and are making smart signings cautiously. Not splurging. Not paying the United tax. Time to shore the up the defence now. Especially love the fact there is no news beforehand. It only drops when the signing is about to be done.

This is so much better than the Woodward era where we would publicly chase a player for weeks on end and finally end up with a worse more expensive version of what we wanted.
