Or, simply a market opportunity? An opportunity to get a player in on a free early doors when we needed a significant number of incomings. Doesn’t necessarily mean they saw right back as a priority when they went for him.
We’re crying out for a number 6. Someone who sits in front of the back four, breaks up play and give the ball to one of our now numerous attacking midfielders to do their thing. Another attacking midfielder is exactly NOT what we need! Paqueta or...
He did or the club did? He didn’t seem to have a clue about a player we’ve been in intense negotiations with for for six weeks and spent close to a club record on. “We’ll try and give him a few minutes and see what he’s all about and what he...
Saw enough from.Moyes version one to realise he will not play younger players if he has options or they are that good he can't avoid doing so. Usually he has circumstances force his hand.
But can look back at his trusting in youth.

He’s a bit too young for ol Moysie. Dibling will also find that out in due course. How many times did Moyes mention Harrison Armstrong’s age in the post match presser the other night? It was a few. “Armstrong did well FOR HIS AGE”. What has his...
The Fort stuff doesn’t make sense from the reports that Barcelona prefer to loan him out rather than sell him. His contract is up next summer, so unless the plan is to get him signed up to a longer deal first, it doesn’t make sense.
We haven’t been able to handle pressing tactics for 5-6 years. And it’s gotten a lot worse in the last 3. Lacking pace to break the press is a huge disadvantage. The Alcaraz to Beto outlet helped last Spring, but it’s still a concern.

It was very reminiscent of the victories we got last season. We don’t control games and give up possession in just about every game. Whether that is tactics and purposeful, I’ve no idea.
The only real chance that they should have scored from was the terrible miss from Wellbeck. Mitoma handled the ball not once, but TWICE before hitting the bar, if that had gone in you’d hope VAR would have looked at that and chalked it off!

Not convinced we’ll be starting any games with practically a front “four”, but can see scenarios when we could finish them if we’re chasing a game. That looks an exciting team no two ways about it.
