You cant discount homegrown players. You said he has a terrible track record for midfielders. He developed that midfield meaning he didnt have to spend on it for years. How can you not get that?
As for Scholes, it was the player himself who asked to come back, not Fergie begging him to come back.
And you reckon he'd have asked to come back if our midfield was in good shape?
Anyway, in the last 10 years Fergie has had a really bad time with our midfield, has he not?
