Well it is unless you actually take a closer look. Zaha was 12m, signed by Fergie and we'll probably recoup most of that if we can get a bidding war going between the likes of Palace, Newcastle and Sunderland. Fellaini was a £#%&! up and we'll probably eat a 12 million pound shit sandwich, agreed. Mata, Shaw, Herrera are gonna be £#%&!ing mint and all better than what we had, so where's the wasteage?
Conversely, we tried to sign Bale but he wanted Madrid, tried to sign Fabregas but he £#%&!ed us around to get an assurance of playing time form Barcelona, Kroos was always going to Madrid and used that idiot Moyes to sweeten the pot and Luis was thrown in there by Neville as a makeweight with no real reinforcement to his point. Who knows how he's going to do?
