We didn't really employ the signing strategy the first couple of windows though. We signed the likes of Cedric, Mari, Willian, Partey while resigning the likes of Luiz and Aubameyang his first couple of widows.
We don't know if the strategy would have naturally shifted going forward, but I'd certainly say the horrible start of 20/21 certainly accelerated plans, starting with the emergence of ESR and the capture of Odegaard, and became really obvious with the players we signed the following summer.
As long as Utd stick with ETH, they have plenty time to get a more coherent strategy, Martinez and Antony are both young enough and they have young talents like Garnacho emerging. Having the manager, DoF and owners all aligned with that is key though.
