It's not the spending of a club with a plan that's for sure.
Di Maria - £60m
Falcao - £6m loan w/ £44m buy option
Herrera - £30m
Shaw - £30m
Mata - £37m
Fellaini - £28m
Rojo - £16m (and still can't play
)
Blind - £14m
= £265m in the last year on players and still a gaping hole in defence and midfield. They are panicking now and just splashing out on glamour signings.
