Liverpool spent their money on a good squad, United wasted it on pointless "big signings". What's the point of having Rooney, Mata, Van Persie, Falcao and Di Maria when you're still defending with Evans and Jones? Manchester United still has no squad and is miles behind the top 4 teams. You don't need stars to succeed, you need a team, and so far that's not what Van Gaal has been building - it really shows with their incredibly pathetic results so far. They could have bought several good defenders and promising talents to help build a squad and good mentality all around the club, but instead they're trying to force their way back into the top four by spending countless millions on pointless big signings. And to be honest, the way Chelsea, Liverpool, City and Arsenal are looking, I really don't see any of them losing a Champions League spot this season - and when you're two seasons away from Europe, it gets harder to attract these big names and easier to lose them. The way I see it, Manchester United are digging themselves a massive hole and they won't get out of it for a long time. I mean, that was already the case with Moyes last season, but they've dug WAY deeper this transfer window. It will get even worse if they keep wasting money like this when the Financial Fair Play starts hampering them. |
I do not agree with Man Utd transfer policy too. I think they overpaid for players in positions they didn't need to buy.
But Liverpool also paid too much for players that aren't really that good. Specially Lallana and Lovren. All in all I believe Chelsea signed the best players.
