I think people expect every signing to be a talented U23 player, we’ve already signed a few of those this summer in Aznou, Barry and Dibling. I imagine there’ll be an aligned vision to add a bit more experience as well. I don’t love the prospect...
We doing this again?
All players signed this Summer will have been agreed by Moyes AND the transfer committee.
No doubt they all agree and are aligned.
I could be wrong but I highly doubt after spending 6 weeks and 35 million initially, Dibling is just going to sit on the bench especially since he spent an entire season playing in the premier league last year (I know it's Southampton but still)...
If we’d already signed a RB, defensive mid and maybe another attacker don’t think people would mind this anywhere near as much.
The fact we have none of them with a couple of days to go makes this one irksome.
In fairness we have been desperate for a decent right winger for years now so can understand why we spent that much. I imagine next year could see us get rid of Beto and spend £40m+ on an upgrade.
Its like buying a fork when you need a spoon.
Its SOOOO Everton.
In insolation, I like Soucek, hes a decent PL player who scores goals.
But, yes, we need a RB, a DM, probably 2 Strikers.
Signing Soucek brings the overall rating of the window down imo. Not the type of midfielder we require and being brought in for his fabled ‘Premier League experience’, getting him just seems completely at odds with our window so far and TFG’s...
To be fair that does seem to have reduced recently, I was very impressed with Dibling’s being done in one morning😂 must be TFG being keen to get signings announced
No experience of driving to the ground. But gotta say despite the moans before the season I thought sandhills was fine after the game.
Now the caveat is it was a nice mild night, so I may think differently in winter.
But think the barrier...
I know he’s not really what we need in midfield but I’m convinced we get Brownhill in the next few days to be honest. Simply due to the fact he’s got that sweet PL experience Moyes is craving.
Woltemade fee has me feeling about our Barry purchase the same way the Sesko fee did. Is he a bit better than Barry? Probably. Is he THREE TIMES THE PRICE better?!
Still think that was a fantastic bit of early business by the club to get sorted.
Thank God there is only 1 weekend left of this farce.
@GrandOldTeam I will leave to Blue Moon if you allow a Transfer thread to be opened before November.
I’ve always quite liked McNeil but he’s certainly not showing himself to be a worthy squad member at present. He looks slow, unfit and not arsed. Reckon he’s been told he’ll be on the fringes and isn’t putting in the effort now tbh.
