Last summers transfers were a bit shit, granted, but I think there was a huge case of rush and panic, this year has been much more measured, and I really don't think Martial is any more of a panic buy, fee aside, than Rooney was or Ronaldo tbh. They've obviously been watching him for a while and wanted him, decided to get him before others moved

Spot on. He's wrong either way with the media and most of the #@&%!s on here who slag him off. Last year he was a #@&%! for buying 'worldies' (
) and for us not promoting youth, despite the fact we used more youth team players since the 92 lads broke through. This season he's a #@&%! because he's buying 'nobodies'. All in all 90% of United 'fans' don't deserve United, or Louis.
