Oh no! Not another one. I can assure you, it isnt another one. Take a look at this list and ask yourself, why are we where we are today;
1. Fellaini - 28m
2. Mata - 37m
3. Herrera - 29m
4. Shaw - 31m
5. Rojo - 16m
6. Di Maria - 60m
7. Blind - 14m
8. Falcao - 6m
9. Valdes - Free
10. Memphis - 26m
11. Darmian - 13m
12. Schneiderlin - 25m
13. Schweinsteiger - 7m
14. Romero - Free
15. Martial - 58m
16. Bailly - 30m
17. Zlatan - Free
18. Mkhitaryan - 26m
19. Pogba - 89m
20. Lindelof - 39m
21. Lukaku - 90m
22. Matic - 40m
23. Sanchez - Free
24. Dalot - 19m
25. Fred - 52m
26. Grant 1.5m
27. AWB - 50m
28. Maguire - 80m
29. James - 15m
Looking at that list of players, it is amazing we are where we are today to be honest. This further illustrates the importance of having a structure and settled management.
So whilst we need to add to the side long term, we also need the structure and the right man at the helm.
Staggering to see it in black and white like that. We have wasted so much money and talent.

I think Sanchez worked out costing us about £3m. It’s a negligible amount. Wages the far bigger issue.

Listed in order of manager they signed under. These have all been relative successes or can be.

in no way what so ever can fellaini, shaw, matic, lindelof, fred be considered a relative success, if we are basing it on they can be a success you might as well list the whole squad then

This reminds me of the Liverpool sides when Sir Alex was around. Outspent us significantly and the closest they came to the title after the bionic huddle was slippy G

Liverpool didn’t spend anywhere near as much, nor as badly, as we have, however. It really is unprecedented failure. Never has a club of United’s stature had such little return on investment. It really does show how bad Woodward has been at his job.

yup it also shows the decision making of the managers we have had since fergie, ed might be a c*** but he generally gives the mangers the funds they need to buy(95% of the time) who they want,

3 of them are starters, Matic is better than is given credit and Fellaini was effective and contributed to 2 trophies.

saying 3 of them are starters says more about where we are as a club than how good they actually are, none would see game time at any other top 6 club

Hmmm. Shaw is good defensively, and Pep wanted Fred.
