We aren't and won't be starting a no foreigners policy. That will never happen. I just feel at the moment we are a bit of a mess and we've spent a lot of money on some players that haven't given in their best once they've joined. I don't think we can accuse the likes of Mata, Herrera and Zlatan of this but we've had a number that seem to be using United for the image and haven't dug deep when things haven't gone well. Out 1994, 1999, 2008 teams are widely seen as our best in the last quarter century and whilst foreign players took us that extra level further it never hurt to have at least a very British feel. After all, it's an English club. We've probably recruited poorly and sold players the wrong ideas and that comes down to Woodward IMO. I also believe British players likely view the likes of United as the pinnacle and won't be itching to move abroad or try something new and have a sneaky agent trying to engineer their next move all the time.
I like the signings of James, Wan Bissaka and a possible arrival of Maguire and Longstaff. They are all young and in the case of everyone bar Maguirre - very young and talented. AWB improves us immediately with his talent, he's taking over from our worst player and he has a lot of room to improve. James is exciting and give us an extra dimension in a problem era as would Longstaff and both could prove mid/long-term bargains, Maguirre improves us a lot and right away. I don't see these signings/targets as buying for the sake of being British but being the best fit of what are available and the vision of the club. I'm sure we won't turn down a top foreign talent who's eager to join and help out.
