If Dalot is so good why cant he get much game time for a Utd side renowned for its average defence?
This is why we need to stop chasing cast offs - we cant finish above teams who's players that aren't good enough are rockijg up here.
The answer would surely be though, that he plays in the same position as Wan Bissaka, who has been pretty good during his time there and was always going to start every week given the fee.
I do understand the aversion to signing "caste offs" and the question of hunger. However I do think it's a difficult bind. If we go and sign a group of hungry players from below us, youare generally talking about teams who have been or are close to relegation levelor in the championship. So the obvious come back is that these players have "found their level" (I'm not sauing I agree with that either).
So the solution is, we sign the best players from the best teams. I just don't think it's either realistic or feasible.
What I would say we have to do better is judge the character better. For me, in different ways Iwobi and Delph ast summer appear to me to have the wrong character from the little I see. Before that the same can be levelled at Bernard, to a degree at Keane, Pickford, Sigurdssn, Schneiderlin etc. I know people keep going on about that Moyes team, but they were filled with the right characters and lots who've gone on to coach. Cahill, Arteta, Ferguson, Stubbs, Weir, Carsley, Campbell, Gravesen etc. We need to get an idea if people are hungry to come and play here before committing.
