It's easy to say that, but who could he have gotten? I really doubt they just sat there going, "Let's wait for Fabregas and Thiago to respond to our emails," they probably were asking potential targets and apparently no one wanted to go to United. The screw-up with Herrera wasn't Moyes's fault, if he was on the team United would be doing a lot better. Not to mention Rooney, RVP, Carrick, Jones, and Rafael have all been injured, and Kagawa and Chicharito have both been inconsistent. Two seasons at least, probably three before we start making any judgement.
