Just to know your opinion, would you be happier if we had bought those who were bought by United in the last window, ie, Di Maria, Shaw, Blind, their spanish midfielder (forgotten his name) and taken Falcao on loan instead of Lallana, Markovic, Moreno, Can, Blotelli and Lovren? The gross spending was quite close so we can compare.
Are you sure about that? What are the figures here?


Well, they actually spent more, ie about 140m and we spent 120m.

I imagine it's more to do with having a DoF. That's why Martinez wasn't interested apparently.

I seem to remember we tried to get him as DoF but he wanted to manage. Could be thinking of someone else though?

No it was Van Gaal, but I think BR was against a DoF, not Martinez or may be both, but, BR was definitely against DoF
