Not denying that but so have city and even they have had some flops especially between 2013 to 2016 purchases they have bought some real duds but the smart thing they have done is replaced them with better quality which we have not done.
To put things in perspective, we have bought 28 players since 2013 summer. This also includes players like Varela, Valdes, Lee Grant etc. In comparison city have signed 37 players since then. In this period they have signed flops like Bony, Negredo, Fernando, Navas, Jovetic, Demichellis, Mangala, Nolito, Moreno, Bravo to name some. What is even more interesting is City have signed 20 first team players since Pep took over in comparison to 14 signed by us. Whereas City's board backed Pep by letting Zabaleta, CLichy, Sagna, Neves, Mangala, Hart, Demichellis and many others leave we still have average players like Young, Jones, Darmian, Rojo still here and others like Valencia, Fellaini were sold recently. It is what you call grave mismanagement by the people at the top.
