It’s easy to cut and paste, I was very clear that we had the best of the best from Europe to Supplement the core of British and Irish players, not average European players that other teams do not want, we recruited elite European stars, RVN and RVP were widely considered top 3 to top 5 strikers in world football, we bought the best of Europe to enhance the best British players that had either come through the youth set up or we had bought domestically.Ok, so let's have a look at the players you mention
Literally not a single one of them was British, Irish or Scandinavian
When we bought Owen Hargreaves, he was from Europe but at the time widely considered one of the best DM’s in European football, we bought Michael Carrick, Wayne Rooney all considered elite, this squad has had £600m spent and it’s the worst squad in the last 15 years and by some considerable margin!
