It's the Mickey mouse handling the contracts and signings that needs addressing more than anything. The youth products and academy generally is still pretty decent.
I still can't get my head around who made the footballing decision to give jones a 5 year contract, he plays about 4 games and hasn't been seen since. Whether that's due to illness/injury or whatever, the point remains he misses as many games as he plays.
The only logic that goes into some of these contracts must be Woodward going "Well we need to keep them to get some money back, sign them to a contract".
Darmian and Rojo two players we that should of been long gone, last summer at least.
Sanchez stupidly high wages and then the long-term contract which now means we will have him for as long as he wants to pick up a pay check. It will also probably prevent us from having a more deserving player on the top of our wage structure like De Gea. I can't think what the reason the contract keeps stalling for, if you believe the rumours it is because we don't want to meet the demands. But we pay that salary to Sanchez.
