Hello guys,
Im just curious and want to share my feelings.
I admit that I feel jealous when MU finished the deal with Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger, Depay, Darmian.
They also bought a lot last year already. Mata, Maria, Rojo, Luke Shaw, Fellani.
Besides that, there are many sources pointing out that they are aiming at Otamendi or Gaitan, Cavani or some other striker. And defenitely, they will buy s.o for those positions soon.
At the same time, we just got our Falcao and Begovic - I know they are good, however, they are not really starting signings.
What do u guys think? Just share your thinking and correct me if u feel I was wrong at some point.

I think United are rebuilding their team, let's be honest they've fallen a long way off Championship pace. We won the league at a canter last season and only really need to add bits and pieces - we certainly don't need to upgrade in the same way as United. I'm not going to lie, I found the end of last season a bit of an anticlimax - a bit boring.
United will be stronger and more competitive but we will certainly still be competitive too - I'm really looking forward to next season.
There is still a way to go in the window - I'm sure we'll still be active.

Yeah, I know we will be active and buy some players - but its a little depressed when looking at our linked targets:
- A Columbia guy called Charles Aranguiz for CM - I've never heard of him before - hope he could prove that I was too much underestimating him if we bought him.
- Pedro (Barca) for RM. At least I know Pedro but he nearly 28 ( in 2 weeks) and he never show me of his man-passing skills. In Barcelona - he play crossing and short - passing. He doesn't play the style we need ( and Premier League needs). He can learn for sure with his professionalism, but he is 28 already, nearly fully developed. Personally, I think Sterling is better than him ( and he is signing Man City).
Again, I just share my points of view, hope u guys could join me.

I wouldn't say I'm feeling jealous of them, but they sure are improving and I don't like it. The players they are bringing in are also good fits, in positions where they actually needed reinforcements. Come the end of the summer they might just be the team to beat.

They require a lot more work than we do. Having said that I am jealous that they seem to be getting their first choice signings, whilst we seem to be struggling. Although the calibre of player we've been trying for are harder to get as they already play for top teams. Personally I have no idea who aranguiz is or whether he'd be a good signing, I do think that if we can't get a top class foreign player then we should be trying to bring in a HG player. Also not really a fan of Pedro.

Their team is vastly easier to upgrade than ours. The only signing they've made that would potentially get into our starting 11 would be schweinsteiger. They're making some solid purchases but are still a good ways off where we stand.

Everyone agrees Manchester United needed to strengthen their team and they have been spending money BUT what have they bought:- 1)Schneiderlin and 2)Schweinsteiger, 3)Depay, 4)Darmian.
1) We have encountered before and holds no fears as nothing particularly special. 2)Not the player he was and could end up a 'name' more than a star. 3)He is interesting as potential but Dutch goal scorers do not always translate to Premiership goal scorers 4)He's foreign and we would probably have been a bit downbeat if we had bought him. Our two additions add value to the squad and Falcao 'could' turn out to be a Mourinho gem. It is the remaining two we are waiting for!
