Baffles me how any United fan could share your attitude in the above post after McNamara handed out 2 and 3 year deals to duds like sweeties. Had we brought in the likes of Anier, Bodul, Bilate, Oyenuga etc on trial we might have avoided countless underwhelming performances and expensive pay offs.
Catch 22 for the club with some on here. If Ray was signing folk purely on recommendation he'd be slaughtered, bring them in for trials and gets slaughtered. Pretty ridiculous
