Chicharito to Real Madrid makes no sense to me.

Also, Falcao to United is cool, but they need to strengthen that defense. Sheesh.

We'll they are technically loan moves.

But di maria at that price is the correct answer

If it comes off, Wellbeck.



And Kranjcar at QPR.

They needed depth and bought depth

Striking depth is fine and dandy, but it's almost as if they are going to try to win every game 5-4.

I should have clarified. I don't think Chicharito fits that system at all. Completely different player than Benzema, and he clearly isn't on the level of their wide forwards/ wingers.

I bet he scores a goal a match against out manned sides. Odd part though is that they sold Morata to Juve. By the way, Morata's out for 2 months and 18 yo French striker Kingsley Coman who Juve just got from PSG had a fantastic match for them Saturday.

They signed two first team defenders this summer, they just haven't been able to play. Blind might be another one.

It wasn't a home run to replace Vidic, so it looks like bad business without Rojo seeing the field yet.

Without selling another CB, I didn't see them buying another.

Herrera
Blind (will probably play here instead of LB or LCB)
Carrick
Fletcher
Cleverley

They needed another actual striker just about as much as they need another midfielder

He did and he was another one for free, right?

I think the Chicharito deal makes sense... They need a back up striker and it was a loan... very low risk on their part..

I'd prob say Falcao for the amount of money, for a loan... probably out of fear (panic) about RVP...

Di Maria, Luiz or James was the biggest overpay/luxury buy IMO...
