THE GOOD
Happy De Gea has stayed and we didnt get Navas, keeping the second best goal keeper in the world for a season is better then getting the second best keeper at madrid last season, even if he isnt that happy, he will still want to play.
Think Schneiderlin and Darmain are great signings who have improved our first team straight away.
Depay has bags of potential and down the line should be a great player, but, as we've seen so far its a big step up to the premier league and its gonna take time so we can't rely on him week in week out at the moment, but think he has potential to have a big future.
Romero is an ok back up keeper, nothing more. But for free not a bad bit of business
Delighted Nani has left, most frustrating player i can ever remember in a united shirt.
THE BAD
I would rather we had not signed Schweinsteiger, think he will stunt the progression of Herrera, cause over rotation and it isn't worth it for a player obviously on the decline.
Sad Di Maria didnt work out, think he is a special player better then anything we have bought in, but didn't really fit Van Gaal's style and once he didnt turn up for the tour had to go, but its a real shame.
Also think we should have kept one of Hernadez or RVP we need a proven goal scorer other then Rooney. and think Weve left each ourselves a bit short up front.
Sad to see Rafeal and Evans leave thou they probably had out stayed thier usefulness... still sad thou
THE WEIRD
Confused by Martial not sure £36 million for a player who may not be ready for our first team.... seems a bit crazy. especially now that we have him Depay who is also gonna take time to adapt... having our only two quick attackers kids who arnt 100% ready... seems mental. Not to mention most of us didn't know he existed till 2 days ago, many of us even having watched a few Monaco games.... very bizarre to pay £36 million
SO HAPPY?
i dunno think we still have an un-balanced squad, last year we where top heavy, this year we are probably light upfront, and over stocked in center midfield,yet still without the right balance as we still dont have a single midfielder with pace.
I think i may be the only united fan happy with our defense, i like Blind in their, think having a defensive minded midfielder in their is a the natural progression considering most teams only play with one striker now, think their will be bumps on the road... like Swansea .... they need to be more inter changeable Smalling needs to stay on the striker while Blind picks up number 10... or summit.... but i like the theory behind it.
And im happy De Gea is here and think were ok with Romero as a back up... incase he doesn'tget his head straight.
so all in all think where about as strong as we where last year, and think we will end up probably in a similar league position and probably still play quite a lot of hoof it to Fellaini(which makes me unhappy). but think we will qualify for the CL next season which is good enough
