those 2 are pretty obvious. Sturridge as he needed to make a name for himself again and either wasn't playing where he wanted or loved enough, Luis as obviously we are a top club to play for and a step up from Ajax. as silly as saying why did Mata want to go to utd! the prestige of playing for a top club obviously as you was ****e at the time you got him.
It shows plenty of players move from champions league clubs to none champions league clubs. As far as every player on earth is concerned, we are still manchester united and one season out of europe counts for nothing. Would barcelona or madrid suffer after a year out? Not at all. Money talks, we have a huge amount of it right now and have a bigger need to spend than ever. If we said to di kari, we have lined up fabregas, strootman, shaw, mangala and would like you too.... He wouldnt have to think long about our chances next year. Not saying we will go for him or that we are in for any of those players but it shows huge intent. Tbh if we signed those players the league title woyld be in its way to old traffors again in 11 months.
