I think Mourinho's transfer's were a lot more strategised than you give credit for mate. He identified the areas we needed to address, and the profile of players we needed to pursue, getting his number one target in each area. We needed to strengthen at centre half, so we bought Bailly. Has their been a better centre half so far in the league? I'd say no.
We badly needed something extra in the centre of the park, someone who can dominate and effect the game, so we bought Pogba, who is finally having a massive impact (and should've scored a hat-trick yesterday).
Since we play 4-2-3-1, which no doubt was Mourinho's plan from day 1, he wanted a world class player who could play anywhere along the line in those attacking roles behind Ibrahimovic, so we signed the best player in the Bundesliga last season, Mkhitaryan, who brings goals & assists to the table, and I fancy to come excellent when he gets a string of games under his belt.
And finally, what we've lacked since Van Persie in Fergie's last season, a proven out & out world class goalscorer with who defenders fear to come up against, and the best of the whole thing is, he cost £0 haha.
I think everything was put in place well, and his signings were fantastic, but he's just starting to find his best team now with the players he inherited...ie; Fellaini take a seat pal, and Rooney just doesn't quite suit what we're about now.
