Was just curious how people rate our signings this summer, unusual to get so many at one time, especially when all could be first XI material. Here's how I would order them
Herrera
Shaw
di Maria
Blind
Rojo
Falcao
It seems crazy that I'm putting Falcao at the bottom when he is clearly a top player and should improve us a lot. I just think even if RVP was injured and we likely kept Welbeck I would have been comfortable with Rooney, Welbeck and Wilson as our striker options with Mata behind and RVP coming back in a few months time. Also seems odd that di Maria is only 3rd but for me the CM and LB positions were essential and I'm pretty pleased with what we went for.
Rate our singings in order of importance

If you mean me, MU82, i do.
Firstly, i still think we didn't sign the two main targets we needed: commanding centre back and centre-mid. Our CM and CB were our biggest concerns going into the season, we have improved on those (though they are still are) but on the basis of impact, i see those two acquisitions ( and Herrera) as our most vital. Of course, if they flop, that is another matter but it further highlights my original point.
Coupled with the fact that they did not cost a king's ransom!

I totally agree about not getting those 2 main targets of a commanding CB and CM but like Mex said, we've done so much business this window hopefully by next season all the players will be fully embarrassing of the LVG philosophy and it will only require 1 or 2 players.
For me the player's fee is irrelevant, I just want them to be good. I think Blind is a good purchase in that he offers so much of what we lack; energy, mobility, leadership. I can see Rojo being a bit like Rafael, the fans will warm to his effort but he could be a bit of a liability and pick up a few bookings and the odd red.
Will be exciting whatever.

comment by Mex- "Herrera into Mata, who lays it wide for Di Maria, fantastic cross in for Falcao who knocks it down for Rooney with an open goal! Who turns out and lays a 50 yard ball to the right wing. (U6687)

RR
I did actually think about adding him but then realised I know absolutely f-ck all about him, is he a keeper?

Can't quite believe what a fanatastic window we've had tbh, our squad now just needs tweaks next summer, rather than a massive overhaul
