Ferguson makes mistakes in the transfer market like any other manager, but nevertheless in recent years many of his signings have given United the extra quality to win trophies on a regular basis. Yes, players like Bebe have flopped big time, but then you have guys like Valencia, Chicharito who have added a lot of extra quality to the squad. Moreover, he's willing to spend extra if that is needed to push United to the next level, because unlike many at our club, he puts football over profits.
Good point, our defence needed overhauling and we needed a CF last summer, what did Wenger do? Nothing, we just kept the faith with Silvestre/Gallas and playing Arshavin as a CF and look where it got us. Facts like that can't be disputed.Originally Posted by Fats
As far as the last few posts about De Gea, I reserve judgement on ANY keepers ability to do it in the Premiership until he has faced Stoke/Newcastle/Blackburn/Wolves/Bolton and survived, this ain't Spain.
but just think about it, once ManU have spunked all their money
the back page headlines are all ours........ours.....ours and Citehs ummmmm and Chelseas and for that matter Liverpools, the Spuds........
I reckon by the start of the season we will have a differnt looking team.....so of what we wanted and a little of what we are not sure about but.......
shit Cripps, would you have it any other way.......wait dont answer that!
I reckon by the start of the season
And this summer we still need the same shit so what does that tell you? Toto and Kozza were awful.
Chamakh started off well but faded but we needed another CF cos Bendtner is as shite as it gets
I can answer that one....I can answer that one, he went for three mickey mouse signings not adequate for our needs.
Not defending AW at all jn this or any other transfer window. But the extent to which double standards apply to signings other teams make has to be noted.
I'm pretty sure 99% of the time if we signed a 20 year old from another league Ach would be moaning.
go there TG, spot on description of what we have between the sticks......bar handful of int games
If he was a quality player then no i wouldnt.
If he was a nobody which we tend to buy then i wouldnt be the only one
Completely and utterly irrelevant in terms of what I was saying, and wrong in the case of Kozza, although very right in terms of Bendtner needing to be replaced so maybe that evens out.
He was saying it's an undisputable fact that Wenger never tries to solve problems in the transfer market, that was bollocks of the lowest order, even if you think that every signing we've made in the last 5 years has been shite we've always tried to solve the problems.
Or, he bought two experienced Internationals (one of whom was shite but he wasn't at the top of our wanted list imo) and a highly rated guy coming into his prime.
Mickey mouse seems to be more a matter of perspective nowadays than it ever has been.
