3. Manchester Uniteds Lack Of Activity
David Moyess reign at United has been marked by a surprising inactivity in the transfer market. Nobody has left (other than Scholes retiring), and almost nobody has been brought in (
other than a 20-year-old right back). This, despite the rampant rumors that
Wayne Rooney will be leaving for Chelsea, and that
Cesc Fabregas will be arriving from Barcelona. While Moyes may be interested in Fabregas,
I dont believe that Barca would let him go I think theyll need him this year, as Xavi is one year older, and Fabregas could be a long-term replacement for him, slotting into a deep playmaker role. Ive heard the latest rumors about Man. Utd. attempting a deal for both
Marouane Fellaini and
Leighton Baines. That will be a difficult dal to pull off, but it makes sense, given the success that Moyes had with both of those players. I expect Man Utd. to do something in the transfer market soon, but it has been surprising that, while their City rivals have added
4 big-name players, Moyes has not made his mark on the club.
