James Crickmore on the Manchester United Summer Transfers
Like James Crickmore, passionate supporters of Manchester United will be watching very closely to see which transfers are made before the transfer window closes in September. Fans are waiting to see if any new major signings will be made by the club’s new manager, David Moyes, and so far there has been very little to report.
The signing of major players, most notably Cesc Fabregas, would show Moyes’ intent on bringing new talent to the club, and clearly the transfer of such talented world-class players would be welcomed. But this is not to say that Manchester United actually needs any new talent, and many hold the opinion that major signings are not that necessary.
David Moyes already has a very strong team, with talent from all ends of the age spectrum. The veteran players of the club are still proving their worth, with the ageing Ryan Giggs still performing extremely well, albeit unable to play for entire matches. The experience of the veterans is supported by a roster of talented new players in Manchester United’s youth system, and the squad is currently very flexible, with many players able to act in different positions. This will be very useful to Moyes as he works out the positioning of his new team for next season.
The real problem however is Fabregas. The team wants him, but it looks unlikely that the team will get him, much to the disappointment of fans and players. He is a superior talent and his addition to United’s lacklustre midfield would provide the boost in talent and the boost in confident that the team would need moving into next season. After all, this will be the first season without Ferguson at the helm, and though Moyes is definitely the right choice as manager this does little to counteract the nerves of a squad who have relied on the drive and work of the world’s most respected football manager.
So far no transfers have been made. James Crickmore believes David Moyes needs to make his own mark as manager and set himself apart from Sir Alex, as a new manager capable of making his own decisions. He must carve out a legacy of his own at this prestigious club, and if he wants to focus on what the club currently has then no one can blame him.
