Sorry but the broken record is back, there can be no doubt injuries have been cruel to us this season, all teams get injuries but ours seem to be selective in choosing our best players this season.
Just looking subjectively (not easy when you are passionate about something) our luck has been poor too. Undoubtedly Moyes has made mistakes and so have to many of our players. Going over the past will not help we are where we are now.

A few of us posted in the summer, we needed about 8 players and we pretty much classed as nuts, I'll plead guilty to that but we still need 8 players. Some will come from our youth Januzaj so down to 7. The longer we take to get started on the rebuild the longer it will take obviously. Top 4, which I've pretty much given up on, should be our minimum expectation even on a bad year. We have no divine right to be top of the table nor to have a great team. We are however, by far, the richest football club in Britain and should invest in our team accordingly.

Ed002 says we were never in for Koke, it was some other team and I believe her, for example his release clause was £17m (If they played hardball its still just under £30m) his release clause is now £50m which imo is a marker for selling him in the summer but not for 17m.

We desperately need to start the rebuild now and its my contention we need to buy the right players at almost any price. Or we risk no top 4 next year too.

Ed002 a question if I may In your, very informative post, you mentioned we were in for Vidal (my fav non Man U player) any updates and what is or was the issue in getting him?

{Ed002's Note - I think it will be very difficult to get Vidal. But there is interest.}

How good would he be in the EPL? Serie A is slower than me, I watched him and pogba the other week and they barely broke a sweat, i'd be going all out for Mata and Modric in jan, proven quality in the prem and a quick fix aswell as ones for the future

I too think Modric would be a coup.
