They should have bought 2 or 3 proven quality players in the summer instead of the 8 prospects, and we wouldn’t be trying to do it now in a more difficult window. Also had we done that we’d probably be vying with City and Arsenal instead of Everton and Spurs for the 4th spot.
What’s going on with our recruitment policy and structures here, is beyond silly, it’s disastrous. It's easy to say now but we should have done everything in our power to get Costa or makhitiryan (spelling) but our most pressing issue now is sorting out DM, we can't make top 4 if we concede stupid goals every game. I feels like a long time ago when we kept three clean sheets in a row.

The worrying thing is looking at all BR's signings and realising very few have paid off.
Is this BR's fault, or is he too restricted?
It's clear 'Moneyball' doesn't work in football & if they don't spend in the next 2 weeks and we miss out on top 4, the future's pretty bleak.
There's exceptions of course, but £7m buys you a mid-table player, not a top 4 player. It's pretty much simple as that.

the thing is we haven't got the money to make a move for a real player. every player we sign these days wants out or the club wants them out. we need to make a statement signing..cabeye ,bust ur nuts trying to sign him and forget all this transfer committee crap which ends up with us spending 30m on lots of crap. give newcastle the 30m for cabeye and lets play ball.

I think united are now out of the running for a top 4 finish, it's between Liverpool, Everton and Spurs. The team that does the best business in January will most likely get that 4th spot, so far it's looking like everton are doing everything they can for Martinez to strengthen their team. Spurs seem to be clearing out all the crap that AVB bought, and we seem to be doing nothing apart from looking at players like Ings who might be good in three years time.
FSG better step up NOW! wouldnt rule out MUFC , only a few weeks back they won 6 on the spin , and under mourinho no team has beat chelsea in the league at the bridge .

They did win 6 in a row but they looked beatable in three of those games. They don't have the quality of manager to go on a run to overtake three teams that have looked better than them all season.
