That is the real issue here. Everyone knows we need more players than Sancho alone. Even Ole said this at the end of last season. I have said it before our recruitment is not up to scratch really. We seem to start pursuing players when the transfer window is officially open. I doubt we do any ground work before that, in an informal way which so many clued up and well run professional teams do. Bayern, Real and Barca always do this.We've wasted almost the whole summer pursuing one player who it's looking very likely we won't be signing. You really can't make this up. We start our season in a week, the player is going to have almost no time to actually be incorporated into the team, if we even end up signing a fecking player, that is. All that talk before the summer about taking advantage of the market etc. and it's beginning to look like VDB might be our only transfer
Without a dedicated Director of Football we will always find ourselves in this situation. I accept may be Sancho is a huge cash layout so may be the club is using all its tactics to get a better deal. But what about the other signings? I know he doesn't sign players but Woodward as CEO heads the football operations at United and since Fergie left, they have been found wanting. He really needs to set up a professional team who are good at their job instead of entrusting everything in his University friend Matt Judge who clearly is not a seasoned football operator. Let's use our ex footballers who have better football knowledge and contacts than whatever team is there now. Van Der Sar for starters.
