I agree and right wing has frustrated me for years! We also bought Sanchez and played him on the left when Martial had been on a good run there. All the while completely neglecting the right. Can't get my head round the logic. There's been a lack of proper planning for a long time. The neglect of the squad has been ridiculous and dates back to before Fergie retired. Should never have required a rebuild - the team should see a natural evolution but thats impossible now and maybe Fergie saw that.
I actually think enough money has been invested post Fergie, but not wisely enough. Nowhere near it. So now we need to spend more. Far more.
yes, it's madness.
with Sanchez, surely the first thing you make certain of is he will play most games on the right, otherwise, it's a poor decision and an unnecessary signing.
for me, on paper it looks like we've spent a lot but I'm convinced the money men are influencing the dithering and bargain bin signings.
my guess is managers are being told to try to sign a player for under 30 million say, e.g. bailly, lindelof, dalot, Herrera etc. whereas we would have been better off spending 50-70m on one proper player instead of getting two average ones in the hope they become much better.
in the transfer market of the last 5 years, most top quality players cost at least 50 million, especially for us.
