He went on record as saying we needed fast wide players a couple of times. Memphis let him down hugely in that respect. But, you can only buy what is available, if the clubs aren't prepared to sell the players you want, you're a bit stuffed. |

He had enough money to buy a lot better than he did.
What didn't help is that he was always playing catch up in the market, partly due to all the mainstays in the club leaving just as he came in. The fact that summer 2015 he bought what seemed 5/6 good players yet most felt we needed a few more says it all. Meant he really had to nail all his signings. In the end he signed some absolute duds. |

Mourinho has arrived just as Zlat was out of contract, Mkhi was in his last year and Juve had decided to cash in on Pogba.. Sometimes it's as well to be lucky as good.. I reckon Mou would've liked a few others that weren't available/we couldn't get for whatever reason. |

We badly needed that star quality. Di Maria worth the risk but again a poorly judged personality. |

The judging of the personalities we've been signing has been way off for about 5 years. |

Was a bad combo as LvG certainly doesn't relish signing big personalities. Instead took the risk on largely young and/or unproven. |

Mourinho has always seemed to be able to source the right sort of characters, and he's started well here.. I don't think the impact of losing Giggs, Vidic, Rio, Evra, RvP, even Rafael, all in the space of 12 months can be fully appreciated. Was always going to take time to rebuild and find the right faces after that. |
