All this criticism of Ferguson and the Glazers is entirely justified, in my opinion...
But I don't much like the criticism of Smalling and Bebe... they may be inexperienced, and they may even turn out to be shit in the end... but come on ffs...
Smalling is a big young lad with obvious potential, and Wenger was interested as well... and let's not forget our premature opinions of both Vidic and Evra... both proved to be great signings eventually.
And Bebe... was supposedly signed on the recommendation of Carlos... who Fergie just gave a character reference for in court, who is still very good friends with Fergie... surely there must be something to him. Another big strong, athletic, young lad...
Even if their signings are the result of the Glazers telling Ferguson to shop on the cheap... I don't believe for one second that Ferguson would buy complete nobodies, without some suspician of potential... and I also don't believe the Glazers would sanction money spent so foolishy.
Fuck me... let's give them an honest chance, before we label them shite.
