We’ve only got about 14 players, you live and die by your recruitment as they say. Lot to get right to secure a top half finish. I think anything from 10th upwards would be fantastic after the last few horror years and criminal mismanagement.
Hope that's not true, because it increases the chances of them deeming Soucek as surplus. Now Soucek does know where the back of the net is, but he's basically a slightly better Doucoure and makes Michael Keane look as dainty as a ballerina on the turn. There's no way Moyes doesn't go for him if...
What would you have done this year instead?
Spending actual money on a CB when we can barely score goals seems daft to me when we’ve got 3 very good ones. I also don’t think many people are particularly pleased he’s stayed, it’s more acknowledging that it’s a necessity when we’ve got limited...
If the alternatives as rumoured were a rapidly declining Ben Mee or spending actual money on Adam Webster, I’m happy he’s signed on again. Seriously doubt any 4th choice we would’ve brought in would have been any better than him.
Reckon it’s more likely that Fab’s spaffed his load early again, rather than it being done done. The kind of fella who tells his mates he’s taking the girl home when in reality he’s just bought her the first drink.
Really good signing if we get it over the line, which it’s looking like we will.
Dont think anyone in the club will be viewing Sherif as third choice, think its far more likely we’ll play N’Diaye up front if both Beto and Barry are injured (which would be very unlucky anyway). Saves the need to...
I would too. Loan with an option. High risk (in the sense it’s very likely not to work out) but high reward.
Also worth noting that I’m currently in Brazil about to do a favela tour so I’ll keep an eye out for a kid who looks like they can slot. Boots on the ground scouting.
Believe so mate. Suppose Seamus and Jake could give us an idea as to his character and whether he’d be worth the risk. Barely got a sniff at West Ham even under Potter which is a big concern. Could see his career falling off massively if he doesn’t get the next move right.
His stock has never been lower, and there’s rumours that his attitude is the biggest barrier to his progress. Looked a serious player when he first turned up. Loan with an option would be worth the risk for me, if anyone can coax it out of him it’s Moyes.
