Not true that a team with B team players was inherited. What happened during Koeman's tenure last season and up to about January was a massive injury crisis, in which at one point dozens of players were out. Nowadays, 2 players being injured is enough for people to claim 'injury issues'.
When everyone was fit the starting point for the squad was still pretty decent itself with a few additions.
You also put De Jong Pedri and Dembele like they wouldn't instantly be Man Utd's best players. Those three would be absolutely permanent starters there and De Jong and Dembele cost a fuck ton of money, a point you always like to mention.
Yep and we had to field those players because our squad wasn't very good, hence why we added to it in January.
I don't know one person here who would say Dembele was better than rashford at the time, so that's just wrong.
Same with de jong vs idk let's say Fernandez.
They maybe better now because you guessed it, xavi improved them and even then Dembele vs rashford is debating, look at his numbers and he's actually available.
So you're wrong on that point again.
When Xavi joined, The entire forum hated MATS, a good subset of fans wanted to sell Aruajo, not sure if you were one, but since you go around & agree with 99.99% of jammies post I wouldn't be surprised.
So that leaves us with 3 players, who the entire forum rated before xavi came in
Dembele
FDJ
Pedri
If you or anyone else is saying man utd didn't have at least that when ETH started, you're talking horse shit.
My general point was when both Xavi & ETH started, they had at the very least the same building blocks, while ETH spent more and has achieved less.
Yet we have the same set of posters here, shitting on Xavi and praising ETH for making the EL QF and finishing 4th in the EPL.
PS the money, we spent on Dembele and FDJ is irrelevant to the point, I mentioned what was spent since Xavi and ETH took over.
So again fail on that.
