You really think the same LVG who complained how we missed out on Muller, Neymar etc didn`t want a CL winner in Di Maria when we practically had zero top wingers? Just because Schneiderlin flopped doesn`t mean he`s not who LVG wanted or is there a better DM we were linked with at the time? He wanted him alongside Bastian and he got them. Whatever way you look at it LVG spent 250m in 2 windows and a lot of his "signings" flopped hard managers don`t have a gun pointed to their heads and told "We`re signing this player whether you like it or not" there is ALWAYS dialogue and all these signings are approved by managers including this summer`s transfers.At last some sense . Exactly your point . Just because we spent huge sums of money doesn't necessarily mean the manager has been properly backed . lVG has stated he didn't want Di Maria or Falcao or Schneiderlin but Ed or whoever bought them . They fecked over Moyes bigtime and didn't he tell Jose he didn't need a LB cause he had Shaw the very same Shaw who has just seen us add another LB to the squad .
If you think Ole was backed in this summer's window then you need help . VDB is quite obviously not a priority signing for him and was Telles ? I doubt it .
As for Ole yes he wasn`t fully backed at least a CB should have come in in place of Sancho who was understandably expensive during a pandemic but naive to think VDB wasn`t a priority Ole himself called him and VDB confirmed this and he was gotten beacuse Villa wanted 80m(!!!!) for Grealish I dont see how thats a bad decision. Telles was probably signed in place of a CB cause bar Upamecano the CB market this year is vastly overpriced but he was the best LB in the Portuguese league and Shaw is our ONLY left footed LB no manager would say no to Telles
