    We can spend 150 million a season and still be in FFP rules

    We could afford to spend double that again. And still stay within FFP. The issue about costs is irrelevant

    We have FFP to thank, because we wouldn't of got Di Maria.

    No but have you not spent close to 200 including Mata and the Falcao loan?

    100 years of history?

    First Division/Premier League[nb 4]
    Winners (4): 1954–55, 2004–05, 2005–06, 2009–10

    FA Cup
    Winners (7): 1969–70, 1996–97, 1999–2000, 2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2011–12


    Seems prior to 1954 you won sweet FA. And pre Ruski roubles your history is nothing to brag about. In fact, even with the red revolution, you sill don't have the history of other clubs

    So history is winning stuff?

    Sounds like glory hunting to me.
    What about when you lose, or when **** is bad? That's not history then?

    Which ever way we look at it, LVG makes the decisions. Maybe he didn't get all the players he wanted, but as stated before several times, LVG has a strategy, and all us so called pundits have to abide by it. Only results will prove who was right

    Well we know he didnt get all his targets. It was pretty well known that Hummels and Vidal were the targets at the beginning of the summer, and he failed to land either of those.
    I think they switched to Rojo when Hummels looked like it wasnt going to happen, and then likewise with Herrera when Vidal began looking unlikely, though i think they still tried for Vidal after Herrera signed.
    Di Maria and Falcao are just world class players that became available.
    Especially the Falcao deal, just too good to turn down.

    I do think the Di Maria deal slightly smacked of a lack of a marquee signing for United and they wanted to wow the fans slightly and maybe flex some financial muscles as a statement of intent, he basically will be taking the place of Mata, who, as we all know, can perform excellently in that role, though I would say Di maria is a slight upgrade, especially as Mata prefers being a No. 10, which is Rooneys role.
    But cant blame you for Falcao, if he had become available to Chelsea on loan, I would have taken him, even with his gammy knee, its only a loan deal after all.

    You have history and you have history, UTD and Liverpool have a much richer history than Routemaster FC.
