Obviously managers don't succeed with every signing. Look at SAF's buys for example. Kleberson brazilian international, flop at United and Saf could do little to change him, maybe his unwillingness to adapt to the english game. Veron was an Argentine legend who was overwhelmed with the pace in bpl and found himself on the bench alot. Forlan, talented striker found his form in Villareal and then at Madrid,Berbatov's signing has been heavily criticized,Taibi, Djemba Djemba,Fortune,Bellion. Nani and Anderson young prospects never prospered in United but with Nani we are seeing great improvements this season. On top of that many young players who were considered future stars have also passed onto lower divisions and inferior clubs, failing. Alot of these could be down to the players and little to do with them being foreigners. Changing leagues could be difficult, but SAF has transformed the likes of Evra who was an unstable defender initially at United into a world class consistent performer, or Vidic who has never been afraid to put his body in the most dangerous of places to sustain a cleansheet, regarded as among the best in the world.
