I don't see your logic Dazz because you're claiming Fergie fucked up by buying a player he should have bought.

At worst, you could say it turned out he was lucky to have signed Rooney, since the other lads got injured, but saying he "fucked up" by making a good signing is a bit ridiculous.

As Rob said, they had Forlan, so I'm assuming Fergie thought his strikers could struggle on, since there was nothing really wrong in the goals department last season for United, it was their defence. They strengthened their defence with Heinze, and their attack with Smith, and even those two in United's squad from last season looked like very good additions at the time.

Every point you are making is with the absolute benefit of hindsight. With hindsight, if Rio Ferdinand hadn't missed that drugs test a year and a half ago, I think Manchester United would have been league champions last season. But that's the way things go.
