I sympathise with many of your frustrations about the way Manchester United are moving forward. We are the most supported club in the world and the 'wealthiest' profit wise and everytime we get linked with a player the first question asked is can we afford it. This should not be the case as we all know.
However Sir Alex Ferguson has led us through thick and thin since the start of his reign and he would not let his professional reputation take a nose dive by continuing to back the Glazers if he did not have something up his sleeve. We did bid for hazard and he knocked us back for more money. Based on several comments he made to the media before this transfer I'm glad we didn't get him. He had City or Chelsea written all over him
Now we are looking at moura/RVP etc ... These are quality players regardless of age and experience - Sir Alex is very good at his job. Trust him. The players we go for are chosen because they can and will make a difference. Last season people said our team was 'poor' and to an extent, I agree it wasn't our strongest. But we finished level on points with them despite bad injuries and we only Lost the league due to our own poor results at the end of the season (Everton and Wigan) We have signed kagawa and Powell and kagawa in particular looks class.
Add anyone else to our team that sir Alex believes will make a difference and we will do well. RVP would be a great signing purely as a message to others and if last season alone is anything to by why would we not want to side the current footballer of the year. And Moura could be that exciting player we're all waiting for! He looks like a great player. The rate for exciting players naturally has gone up since we signed Cristiano Ronaldo for 12 million and sold him for 80 as chairmen want there money worth just in case he goes on to become a superstar.
Sorry to go on and hope my post makes sense but I just want every Manchester United fan to be positive towards the team and trust in our manager. We will make another signing(s) and it could turn out to be a good summer for us all! Cheers for reading!
Have faith in Sir Alex

Great article mate The Hazard thing came across as a bit bitter though, he thought the Chelsea project was attractive and that's his choice. We got Kagawa in who's also quality.

Next the OP will be telling us that grass is green and the sky is blue.
Of course we trust him, it doesnt mean we should trust him, hook, line and sinker. If SAF asks you to put your hand in fire, would you?

I think most fans including myself just like to see new signings or new players could be youth plaers rise up not always signings. I always said Sir Alex is the main man, sell rooney, vidic etc as long as Fergie is in charge i will always have confidence. Yes he makes mistakes its human nature that after 26 years he will make a couple of bad decisions. Hazard chose chelsea fine thats his decision we move on.
Im very excited with Kagawa and Powell and hope we do make more signings. The signings that work best for us are the less expensive players of hernandez, park, VDS. I would love Moura cracking player wold bring a lot of excitment back just like the days of Ronaldo.

I don't think anybody believe our team isn't strong, more uninspiring. It would be nice to see a Man Utd team be a little more entertaining again, not in terms of drama (we never lack drama), but a little flamboyance and flair wouldn't go a miss.
I do think we need another signing or two to keep in touch with City this time around, it would appear SAF agrees.

of course we trust sir alex hes the greatest and still far and away the best in the business but not everthing that comes out of his mouth is gospel, and to say that fans opposed to the glazers arnt real fans is a bit below the belt

I do trust Sir Alex but when i see us bidding ridiculously low prices for RVP it makes me wonder what on earth is going on. Bidding for top players doesn't mean you can realistically sign them. Pointless.
Loaning Fabio out is ridiculous in my view too but what do i know? Sir Alex is converting right wingers into left backs as i speak so everything will be great.

Because we have no cover at left back and Sir Alex is currently discussing the merits of guys who've never played first team football AND never played left back as the solution for cover. Beyond stupid in my view
