I have been a Man United fan all my life and through my younger years during the 90s and early 2000s seen us be the top team year after year and i feel like i need to get this off my chest!!
After the years of the class of 92 leaving we did well to rebuild a new world beating team with a spine of van der sar, vidic, Rio, Ronaldo etc!
The way i see it ever since we sold Ronaldo we have never kept on top of improving our team with big names which is why we are stuck in the situation we are in now!! We replaced Ronaldo with Valencia . Valencia has been a good servant over the years but you can't replace a Ronaldo with a Valencia!! We relied too much on buying average players hoping they would come good for us Anderson, Cleverly etc which never worked out instead of buying big name players like a big name club like Man Utd should be buying!!
Look at the likes of Chelsea and City they go for a player and get them to improve their team no fuss!
We get linked with players for weeks and weeks and nothing comes of it and we are all left disappointed for example pedro all but a done deal for 3 or more weeks then within 48 hours Chelsea come in and complete the transfer!!
The De Gea problem should have been sorted weeks ago if he wants to leave like Di Maria did get him gone and get him replaced in enough time instead of leaving it til the last minute and rushing a deal for another keeper instead of making us look stupid by dropping out of the squad him with excuse after excuse as to why!!
We have never replaced Rio and Vidic over 2 seasons on since they left!!
It took us how many seasons to sort our centre midfield out since the scholes and keane years which we seem to have finally done!!
Rooney where do i start . always comes back at the start of the season looking unfit and takes 10 or so games to get going again!! He is not the man to score us 20 or more goals a season and sit him up top on his own we NEED a striker a Van Nistlerooy kind of striker a goal poacher and anything in the box finisher!!
Rooney in my opinion has never ever been that player he is a number 10 who will sit behind the striker and link up the play with his passing range and ability!
If we go into this season with rooney as our main striker we will be fighting for 4th yet again behind Chelsea, City and Arsenal!!
The way we are playing at the minute and have been for a few season now is slow boring and so frustrating to watch there is no pace or urgency!! We keep the ball well but we just don't create the chances going forward and it all just seems slow and lazy!
Remember the days of Ronaldo and Rooney scoring from counter attacks from an oppositions corner when is the last time we did that??
Over the next 2 weeks before the transfer window shuts i'm praying and still have hope Ed and LVG will come good and surprise us but the more the days pass i can feel myself becoming disappointed and frustrated with our transfer activity yet again!!

I can't argue with any of the above. I mentioned all the above in a list I wrote a few days back. Our transfer dealings have been a bit of joke and especially since Gill left.
We sold Rafael foe £2.5m and rvp for £4.5m.
But it is the frustration of concluding purchases that worries me. If lvg really wanted Pedro, and I'm not that fussed BTW, then we should've gone out and got him.
But now we're left with no right winger and still no news on striker. And we have a gk who is not really no.1. Noit good preparation for the season.
Of course, we've started well but the transfers should've been done by now.
