buying Vidal doesn't sort out the defence, and has nobody stopped to consider whether these stars will really be too bothered about wearing the Rags shirt and trying their hardest? Pretty much all of them are turning up for the paycheck, and like Mancini, Van Gaal will just start to piss them off.
Besides, the Glazers only want Top 4 to trigger all their bonuses, beyond that they'll take as much money back out to pay for this summer, and leave the Rags as a very expensive Arsenal. We have to pray, if you want serious shit to hit the fan, that they somehow finish 5th this season.
