I mean in general , people like to complain about United just goes and buys their players. I know it was an odd year in spending, but we still have academy players making their way in... hopefully they stick...

Like STLHog said they jacked up the English market big time.

I said this before but basically they took the transfer strategy of United, Liverpool, Arsenal etc of buying one or two big players a year and used that as their entire transfer policy.

SAF strategy was I want that player and ill get him breaking the transfer record a couple times for example Rio but after that buy he was done. So we would basically spend 35 million a summer.
