So we all know with spent a lot of money and probably not had value for money since Fergie.
But let’s keep it light and entertaining. Just Hits and failures. Then your pick for value for money and you pick for waste of money.
Juan Mata £40m
*Miss, a classy player we don't need and whenever we try to fit him it our collective play suffers, at 150/week he's stealing a living
Marouane Fellaini £29m
*Meh, did his job, 30M wasn't abig deal in today's money, wasn't that big deal back then either. He's doing a hatchet man job and that's about that. People just expect more of him but he actually deliver what he's brought in to do.
Victor Valdes Free
Free backup, doesn't matter
Daley Blind £15.75m
Classy player we don't need, good PR. 16M isn't a big deal, no love loss, sell and move on
Maros Rojo £18m
Other than his weekly wage, peanuts, should be offloaded
Ander Herrera £32.4m
Overrated for a good 1-2 season. Never really liked him anyway, talks a good talks but ultimately a selfish player
Luke Shaw £33.75m
All potential but nothing solid. His injury could be blamed but I don't think he injured his brain, yet his weak mentality remains. Miss, the opportunity cost of playing him and waiting for him to resemble anything is gone.
Angel Di Maria £67.5m
Nuff said I think
Radamel Falcao Loan
Wasn't such an atrocity, bought for free, turned out crock due to injury. Wasn't his fault, wasn't our stupidity. Free = nothing lost
Sergio Romero Free
Good backup.
Bastian Schweinsteiger £8.1m
8M for a PR machine, wasn't a bad deal. It's a statement of intent , and in a well oiled fergie team I beleieve BFS could make a contribution if used sparingly and luxuriously. Not while we're struggling.
Matteo Darmian £16.2m
I remember he sets the world alight in his first few games, mentally weak player.
Memphis Depay £30.6m
Too soon, too fast. I think the burden of playing for United really got into him. Turns out to be a fine player without all the extra expectations.
Morgan Schneiderlin £31.5m
One season wonder, we got mugged
Anthony Martial £54
I don't think he's all that, too lazy to work hard and improve his game. Wasted potential. Whatever level he's on he could have and should have been much better
Paul Pogba £93.25m
Better cut loss and sell him, bad move. The one player that's bigger than the team or the manager, and for all his shenagigans he offers nothing on the field. He's not even trying anymore.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan £26.3m
Pure Flop
Zlatan Ibrahimvoic Free
King!
Eric Bailly £30m
30M defender class who's prone to brain fart.
Nemanja Matic £40m
Good deal, bought to do a job and a job he did, too bad 2nd isn't good enough.
Romelu Lukaku £90m
Did a job, turned sour, but well recouped the price we bought him for.
Victor Lindelof £39.5m
I don't think he's that bad, he's just a 40M defender, performs like one, looks like one, and worth like one in the current market
Matej Kovar Free
Irellevant
Alexis Sanchez £30m (Swap)
Crock flop
Lee Grant £1.5m
Irrelevant
Fred £61.2m
Wrong price, Jury still out. Looks decent but we could have bought a lot better at that price
Diogo Dalot £19
Flop
Harry Maguire £80m
Overrated, overpriced, mediocre defender who performs no better than a prime Jonny Evans. We got robbed, he's not bad for the price of 25-30, but at 80 he should be performing 2x his current rate.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka £50m
Same as Maguire, but at least he was young and got time on his side
Dan James £18m
Got found out pretty much after a good start up. Looks finished mentally and momentum wise
Odion Ighalo Loan
I think something dodgy is happening here.
Bruno Fernandes £67.7m
Looks good so far, but jury is still out
Edinson Cavani Free
same as bruno
Facundo Pellistri Free
Irrelevant
Alex Telles £15.4m
Irrelevant, good if working wasn't a big deal if not
Donny van de Beek £39
Jury still out
