Our rise to becoming genuine contenders started with mourinhos appointment, moyes was a mistake, a huge mistake, imagine appointing a man to succeed sir alex who has won feck all to manage the biggest club in england, a mistake made by no other then sir alex himself, then we had van gaal who he himself spent alot of money on players to fit his 'philosophy', look how that turned out, cant recall a time been absolutely bored to tears watching that dire state of football.
And now into his second stint at united jose mourinho has united at there best start to a season since sir alex, not forgetting the first united manager to win a trophy in his first season, two in fact. At present we find ourselves second to what alot of people are regarding the best football team to have ever played the beautiful game, how do you compete with that, a team that is owned by a billionaire, throwing 100m at two left backs, this city team didnt emerge overnite, it was a process over a number of years.
Now to mourinho saying 300m is not enough, i seem to remember people criticizing van gaal on what he spent and how people said he spent a crazy amount, but what did we spend it on, can we say we would take depay back, schweinsteiger, schneiderlin? Is herrera, darmian, blind good enough? All inherited from previous manager. Fact is the PLAYERS we still have at this club are not good enough i feel to compete at the highest level yet, forget about how much we spend, its the the quality of the player we spend it on and some of our recruitment has been shambolic and i feel we need atleast another transfer window or two for us to truly compete again cos at the moment having to play two aging ferguson signings who are primarily wingers at right back it seems to me there is clearly more rebuilding to do.
