we spoke to Falcao's representatives. To get him it cost Utd stupid money. we would not of been able to pay that ludicrous amount due to FFP.

Sanchez did not want to live in the north of England as his wife holds a huge thumb over his head.

Costa is a good player and I am gutted we didn;t go in for him but i think his heart was set on Chelsea from day one.

The club tried in he summer but one decent season is not going to attract the best in the world.

costa would have gone some way to making up for the goals suarez provided. its not a patch on him to suggest he isnt as good as Suarez, only two players in the world are better

I refuse to believe that we were not able to convince sanchez to move to us. If we genuinely failed, i will hold that against whoever does the deals in the club (presumably ayre).
Not being able to convince the missus/the player is the bog standard basics of such a deal, and if you cantdo it, youve failed. Sorry.
I agree with falcao being too much.
Costa again i dont think we tried hard enough.

At the end of the day, to say that noone would cover suarez is wrong, because at the highest level, thats what they get paid to do, and this summer, although overall it was a good summer, cause many of the signings we made were good, when it really TRULY mattered, they failed.

let me clarify, you couldnt improve on suarez, or get the very same thing, but you could cover his absence in the team by maybe 80%, part through goals, part through style of player. We covered maybe 50% of his goals, and about 10% of his work ethic.

Yeah it would be terrible policy to just say there is no point even trying to cover Suarez' contribution so just accept and change everything

I came in to this article with high expectations Given the impacting nature of the title.

What we instead experience is an inverted comedy, where you laugh at the op rather than with, as is clearly the articles intent, it's a poorly thought and considered monologue that leaves the viewers wondering how the script writer could not pick put the plot holes in the article.

Glaring plot errors include the fact that the list of desired signings would leave the subject absent any fullbacks given current situation.

While the mid point of this showing tries to resurrect the credibility of the thread the poor showing from start to finish leaves the reader underwhelmed.

A lonely 1/5 for me.

so IRU, youre saying that youre happy with our current state, despite the fact that it was evident it would happen?
You would not have like a slightly better thought out approach (which there may well have been and this is it, but it doesnt seem to be working out very well)?
