I've always been a realist, and the last few years I haven't expected any signings whatsoever I knew the Fabregas saga would not bare fruit, yet I see it happening personally, because of the past few seasons not strengthening, rivals strengthening.
Yet a £60m per year Nike deal, and £40M through chevrolet per year, on-top of that merchandising plus players to be moved on, the squad has no spine in the team, nothing to contend with rivals, and i'd disagree, there atleast needs to be a CB in the summer, and three midfielders, you can't just buy a singular style of midfielder, because there are differnet kinds of opponents during the season, it's the reason we do not have a plan B this year.
Different opponents, different systems, then you need to take into account rotation, injuries, mixing youth with experience, this window coming up is about building a spine of a team, a winning spine, that in future seasons you build around, as players get older and need to be moved on, or a player losing ambition, injuries for example.
You are forgetting this isn't Moyes squad at all he has inherited, he has different philosophies, even Liverpool have £60M to spend during the summer, Manchester United can't be left behind, they won't and there is money to be spent, the board knows the club needs to spend to have longevity within the squad.
