Especially for defenders.
I'm not going to talk about the missing targets, but rather the ones we already acquired. It seems the current policy is to spend at the most expensive player available, rather finding the ones not as expensive but fit the team.
Maguire for example. We already have a slow passing CB in Lindelof, but we spent 80m on a similar type of player albeit better.
Wan Bissaka is another one. Good defensive fullback, which would be good if we have a great attacking right winger.
And in general, post Ferguson, United seems find it impossible to find bargains players. I can understand if it's midfielders or attackers, which is normally more expensive than defensive position. But United best defensive unit in history cost less Wan Bissaka alone.
When you spent 190 million for your starting defence, and they still look shite, then there will be not much money left for other positions. United approach at the moment is throwing money at the problem, while not having enough money to fix all of the problem. It's a truly idiotic method
