mrmojorisin75 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The long-term neglect of the transfer strategy is going to take a long time to put right. IMO they would be better off signing 5 or 6 £10-15m players, ensuring a decent season, then pushing on from there. i'm in agreement, they'd have been better spending their 100m mata & di maria money on 7-10 well-identified players of this value in a lower age bracket and gambling that at least 5 or more of them come good in the next few years watching them at the weekend danny mills made a good point i thought when manyoo tried to break, he said that in van gaal's holland team they give the ball to robben and he'll carry it 50+ yards on his own due to his sheer pace, this current manyoo team really lack that imho and it'll hurt them long term if he's trying to play the same game they also lack at least 2 top quality CB's as well of course i rate di maria very highly myself but it think he should have been bought to complement a group of younger, pacier additions to make it tick future looks bleak for mata as well, he just doesn't seem to fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Some absolutely bizarre signings made to be honest and such vast sums spent. It sort of reminds of playing fm where you forget what players you really need and end up buying players you don't need and overlook the glaring deficiencies in your squad.

buzza Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 But, it's great to see how far they have fallen and to enjoy it while it lasts. Fat boy! I don't know if you noticed, but the board at Manu (yes, football teams have these) quickly got shot of the manager who didn't perform adequately and replaced him with an upgrade... Any chance of some similar logic being applied? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many world-class players in that squad for them to play like this forever. yeah, looks like they need something to tie it together to me and it'll all come good - the proposed move for falcao makes perfect sense to me as they're carrying RvP these days, adding a focal point to the team like him will allow their other attackers to get involved more i reckon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
