“I know there's been loads of criticism, I don't know if all these critics know what's happening, " Solskjaer said. "We've got scouts scouring the planet for good footballers and we'll sign players players that we think is the right fit, personality-wise price wise, quality-wise and price-wise. And can you have longevity at this club and I'm confident we're doing what we can to get the right players in. "

This type of talk is worrying. Our recruitment strategy over the last few years has been awful. We have signed players who aren’t of the required quality, and players that seem completely at odds with individual manager’s tactics.

Both Moyes and LVG have publicly criticised the club for not backing them in the transfer market, and ignoring their opinions. Jose was critical of this too, last summer.

There’s is no way, with our current squad, that Ole can seriously believe that our recruitment strategy has been anything other than a disaster. Hundreds of millions spent, and still miles away from City and Liverpool.

Theres absolutely no way the powers that be are going to take onboard OGS transfer suggestions. They barely listened to Jose on that front.

I think that’s the way forward jred. That excited me so much more than signing big name players to be honest.

Danny I understand what you are saying. But ole is hardly going to go out and slate the scouting network. I too don’t hold much confidence in Woodward. Our transfer dealings have been a disaster the last 6 years. How many players can we say have actually been a success? Can count them on one hand.

I do have a bit of hope and confidence that perhaps we are moving in a different direction. Ed002 has kindly provided us with a comprehensive list of players we are interested in and they certainly fit the mould of the sort of players we should be targeting. A shift in transfer policy to young and talented players is the first move in a long and unfortunately difficult rebuilding process.

The road will be bumpy and there will be our fair share of disappointments. But at least we are looking to make a change. I do consider myself a glass half full sort of person. Even these last few weeks have been testing for the likes of me. But I think we have to be patient and try and enjoy the ride. If we are shrewd, methodical and clever then we can really build something promising. I have my doubts though whether Woodward and this board can do this. But let’s see.

Park I agree, I think the clamour for big name signings is finally starting to die down .
