Eggsyblueskin's latest activity

And making a peculiarly bad fist of it currently.

We currently don't have a DOF, sporting director or Head of recruitment. Him, his best mate Nick and Moyes are running recruitment.

Unless we sign another centre mid he’s going nowhere.

And that is why Moyes has never found universal acclaim as a manager , ( and only one success ) , limited tactics. Solid mid table manager , who is a master of reactive football . It is why I never wanted him back . I hope he is able to alter his...

He has one season (last season) of standout goal scoring, other than that he can't pass or tackle properly and his general numbers for a midfielder are pretty poor tbh given his age.

Ok Pace n’ power Rugby Union then Prefer association myself But each to their own .

Yeah I understand the principle But if adhering to a principle means you miss out on a player you value highly , that’s poor . And if that player fulfils his potential, I don’t think many will praise our judgement for losing out for the sake of...

I think we can put this ‘but we have a new stadium’ to bed. This does not come into the thinking (certainly priority considerations) when they choose where they move to. Could never understand why people thought that would be a pull. If it was, I...

Fast players without end product won't be worthwhile otherwise we might aswell get that Adama Traore from Fulham

Get what you're saying, but the modern game needs pace and this team is desperately lacking it. We're not capable of stretching play.

Every half decent team you can think of has fast players in it. We definitely need some fast players.

As long as being fast isn’t their only ability . Fast with good feet and excellent vision is far more desirable.

I know I’m parodying slightly the constant demand for ‘pace’ over all other attributes . But do people realise under Moyes we will habitually have one striker up front ? By the time Billy Whizz gets to the by line to ‘whip’ it across he will have...

I didn’t want a sprinter on the wing , or anywhere else on the football pitch . I want a player who is intelligent has vision and superlative technical ability , can control the ball , and can vary his deliveries. Leave the sprinters for the...
