The worst thing about Utd last year was they didnt' take the chance to replace half the team. They needed 3-4 first team players gone last season and 2-3 back ups, and the same this year and they'd be in a much better place. They've done one half of what needs doing but at probably too high a cost. They needed a few 5-10mil youngsters or just solid squad players to go along the high priced flair players.
Regardless of how good Blind, Di Maria, Shaw, Rojo end up being, if the other half of the team and most of the back up is **** it really doesn't matter if those 4 are good or crap, they are 1/3rd of the team, you need a full team to be good.
What is even worse, this is a team that Arsenal have built over a stupid amount of time, everyone a personal pick of Wenger, and despite Utd looking dire, we look almost as rubbish.
