If we create a scale based on Fergie's signings from 0-10:
0 - Taibi
5 - Anderson
10 - Cantona.
Then if we say that anything from:
0-3 is shite
4-6 is decent
7 to 9 is good
10 is unreal
Woodward's signings are practically all shite. It's astonishing:
Fellaini 3/10 – shite
Mata 6/10 – decent
Di Maria 1/10 – shite
Shaw 3/10 – shite
Herrera 6/10 – decent
Rojo 3/10 – shite
Blind 5/10 – decent
Falcao 1/10 – shite
Martial 5/10 – decent
Schneiderlin 1/10 – shite
Depay 2/10 – shite
Darmian 2/10 – shite
BFS 2/10 – shite
Romero 7/10 – good
Pogba 6/10– decent
Mkhitaryan 3/10 – shite
Ibra 6/10 – decent
Lukaku 5/10 – decent
Matic 4/10 – decent
Lindelof 3/10 – shite so far in all honesty (bit harsh feel free to disagree)
Sanchez 1/10 – shite
Fred – 4/10 – decent
Dalot – 3/10 shite (done feck all but again bit harsh)
The 6 years previously the signings were better but still very patchy:
Van Persie 9/10 – good
Kagawa 3/10 – shite
Zaha 1/10 – shite
De Gea 9/10 – good
Jones 2/10 – shite
Young 5/10 – decent
Bebe 1/10 – shite
Smalling 5/10 – decent
Chicharito 7/10 – good
Valencia 7/10 – good
Obertan 1/10 – shite
Owen 4/10 – decent
Anderson 5/10 – decent
Nani 7/10 – good
Hargreaves 6/10 – decent
Tevez 8/10 - good
If you then look at the 6 years prior to that, recruitment was just bang on (bar a couple of shit) hence why when the team matured the success was incredible:
Carrick 8/10 – good
Vidic 10/10 – unreal
Evra 10/10 – unreal
Park 8/10 – good
Van Der Sar 10/10 – unreal
Rooney 10/10 – unreal
Smith 5/10 – decent
C.Ronaldo 10/10 – unreal
Saha 8/10 – good
Kleberson 3/10 – shite
Djemba Djemba 2/10 – shite
Ferdinand 10/10 – unreal
Veron 4/10 – decent (shite would be harsh he was magic at times)
Van Nistelrooy 10/10 – unreal
Somewhere along the line we have gone very wrong with our recruitment. It starts around 2009.
The fact we needed to massively improve it anyway and then we put that utter buffoon Ed in charge is why we find ourselves in that absolute shit show we are in now. We need somebody who knows how to built a team to come in. A proper footballing person with a proper strategy and the ability to actually negotiate and fecking conclude the signings. Look at Leicester, Liverpool, City all of their recent success comes from spending their money properly and not spunking it on shite. Why? Because they either have proper footballing people in charge of recruitment or they have a top manager who they trust in the market.
That top list is just mental. Incompetence on an unprecedented scale in modern football.
A lot of the players could have been good but were shite due to the managers Ed has employed. The awful recruitment is terrible but that combined with the managers he has appointed, it truly is unforgivable
