A lot depends on identifying the right player at the right price who wants join us. Football is not an exact science and it is easier said than done. Even players who seem the perfect fit can flop for all sorts of reasons.
I would rather we build slowly by identifying the right players rather than signing players just to tick a box. Plenty of time left in this window also and we should be reasonably competitive already.
Exactly. Every fan all around the world, loves a new signing, the more the merrier. However it is not us that has to write the cheques. Over the last 20/30 years look how many clubs, including us have got into serious financial difficulty, when even the club's existence is called into question. The old maxim , you can only spend a pound once still rings true.
Apparently, we needed a new GK, RB, LB, CH, CM, RW, CF maybe a LW , so basically a completely new side. So, for example we need to replace the 4 strikers we all got excited about the last 2 years when we bought them. And even if we get the new players people are demanding, you can guarantee come December , supporters will be demanding another 2/3 players to push on for promotion. And next close season fans will be demanding we buy more players to replace the said players we bought this year.
Like you said it's not an exact science, sometimes it's maybe better to wait until you get a player who ticks more boxes, than buy a player because he is available. Just remember the best team in England never bought a single player last year, but still won the league, Now the players they really like are now available.
Man U were such lucky twats that day.
