There seems to be this notion from fans that ole's transfer business has been big plus but I am not seeing it.
We all aware that we have a big issue in midfield for good knows how long and yet ole has had countless opportunities to rectify it but has wasted these opportunities.
during the summer before last season he could have had about 60-70 million to spend on a defensive midfielder had he sold Henderson after his loan spell who has gone on to just rotting on the bench and wasting away his potential he may have had as a goal keeper along with his market value, as well as instead of wasting money on vdb who has barely made over 10 starts for united and amad diallo who has had to make do with playing in the youth team despite showing more quality than daniel james and has even less chance of playing time in the first 11 any time soon with the acquisitions of sancho and ronaldo.
Then come this summer he again had the opportunity to sort out the midfield situation but thought best to use 75-80 million on sancho instead who was not necessity when we had Greenwood coming of age and a clearly talented amad diallo waiting in the wings and with the inclusion ronaldo it has created a situation of wondering if sancho would even be a first choice player in our best 11 when everyone is fit.
Then there is the second biggest issue in our side, the right back position, ole spent 40 million on bissaka who isn't even as good as Antonio Valencia who wasn't even a natural right back for a large majority of his career and was in his early 30's whilst playing in that position and we saw over the past windows ole has tried to sign trippier as it is clear bissaka is not good enough.
Then there is the case that saul niguez was available on loan from Atletico but instead we decided to go for ronaldo instead despite being stacked in attacking positions (especially with ole deciding to keep lingard at club?) and already having one too many luxury players who's work ethic already needs to compensated for by others in the pitch and saul fitted in better over Ronaldo in terms of implementing a set up of pressing high up as team.
The likes of van gaal and Mourinho were criticised for a supposed scatter gun approach in the transfer market with signing like di maria, dalot, schweinsteiger, sanchez etc.. but I see very little difference at this point with ole in charge.
