NO CORRELATION. Pre season doesn’t matter and it makes you wonder why anyone bothers with it at all really doesn’t it. Just get fit during the season innit??!?!
People often think that was the case, but he had 32 scouts at that match - all just for Fellaini.
People forget/don't realise how sought after Fellaini was - we paid a club record fee for him. We didn't do it on a whim because we couldn't sign...
I think we will be around 6-9th this season, depends if we stay clear of a major injury to one of about 3 players. That's based on the recruitment I'm confident we will do.
Fine if you are happy not being competitive for the first month or two of the season because huge swathes of the squad need to be brought up to fitness and integrated, especially those from overseas.
Why do we bother with a preseason at all if...
