Well we cant judge until the window is over....but this seems all too familiar so far:
Season ends, talk of major movement with several players being sold and 5ish signings. A relatively minor signing is made, talk of others coming, one major target chased for weeks, barely any movement by the time a preseason starts.
Lets face it so far,transfer wise we have literally done nothing. The players leaving are out of contract, we didnt have to do anything, as of yet we havent managed to sell Pereira, Tuanzabe, Jones, Bailly, Henderson etc etc.....wait for one or two to be sold, the rest on loan or still here.
Not only that, we will still and by choice have the likes of Dalot (seriously he is worse than Telles), Lindelof, McTominay, Martial, Rashford etc etc who are not up to scratch.
Our four best players the last season or so, one wants to leave, one may not play again for us, one had an absolutely abysmal season to th epoint people are realising he isnt as good maybe as cracked up to be.
We have signed a left back (only seen him for 60mins so cant judge) that may or not become our first choice left back, but it has as of yet just improved the squad in one of the few areas way down the priority list of needing a squad improvement.
There is talk of not signing players for big wages that dont really want to be here....yet everyone is creaming themselves with the (I think maybe forlorn) hope we sign FDJ.......as we slate one of our biggest ever players for wanting to leave saying he only came back for the money.
The big two have already made big signings, others around us have already made good signings. We dont seem heavily linked with any otehr cm bar DeJOng even though personally its glaringly obvious we need two new central midfielders. And a good young one has gone to Villa for free, another good player with premoership experience has gone to Spurs for under £30m, quality players like Caqueret have signed a new contract with apparently lttle interest from other club.
And now mayb ejust press nonsense, but we are being linked with Bryan Bobbey who has flopped and looked poor on loan when I have seen him as he is cheap....and there are the likes of Amine Giouri out there.
Maybe things may come good, but we havent aced quick enough, we should hav ebeen taking players signed on a preseason tour. And is it just me, considering bar Ronaldo not really anybody missing.....that tour squad looks both inexperienced and very weak in several areas.
This window is looking like an utter shambles when it should have been one of the most decisive ones we have had. Last summer was a shambles to me despite the signings, not cm signed....and it showed. Several beforehand have been absolutely dreadful. For me we have doen two decent windows since Fergie left.....and I only mean decent as last summer and Mourinhos frist summer, we signed on paper good playres, we just didnt sign nearly enough.
So yes, I am certainly going to moan so far, we have been poor in this window so far and seem to never learn, its the same mistakes
