Yeah I'd be extremely cautious judging transfer records of individuals over a decade ago. I think the single thing that has changed the most in football since then is the player recruitment process.
If you're doubting Moyes transfer credentials I think you need to take a breather.
No manager is perfect in the transfer market, every acquisition comes with risk.
Anyway, he lifted the Conference League trophy with all his apparent bad signings.
Crap players are very getable, we could agree deals for Lindstrom and Harrison this afternoon and have them holding jerseys in BMD on Monday.
Truth is if you want a McAtee or that profile, you are at this very moment competing with Leverkusen...
What do you think happens mate, there is a heap of players waiting by their phones waiting for us to call and say ok we're ready to bring you in now.
Procrastination? Do you think the recruitment team come in and say - we could work on transfers...
I’d rather we got them right than got them early. I am of the opinion that we have approached the ones we want, but they are holding fire to see if anybody better comes in for them.
I don’t think we’ll sign anyone until we cone back from the states, mainly because players we want don’t really want to come us, we get used to as bait for other clubs. We’ll get what’s left and players get desperate.
Best
Lukaku: The best young striker coming to us on loan, then permanently a year later. Really felt like things were changing for the better.
Gueye: We had to sign him as his own replacement after trying with Gbamin/Allan. 'nuff said...
Yep. I was telling everyone that we’d got an absolute bargain due to his release fee. Spanish u21 number 9 - finally a number 9 who would get us goals and his YouTube videos showed plenty of blammos. So disappointing
