GrandOldTeam's latest activity

We've got to spend £40m+ odd this summer on Rohl's obligation and Grealish just to stand still. If we plop £100m on top of that for another club record spend, what are we expecting? 7th to 12th - and the small margins between them. My hope is...

12th 13th 11th Up the stable Blues.

You are continually trying to differentiate between the manager and a transfer committee. I'm saying they're the same thing. If the recruitment had been good, this debate doesnt occur and people are just praising Moyes' recruitment.

Because you are doing this; By creating an illusion of doubt, you are. Moyes is part of, and the main part of "the transfer committee". This isnt a head coach scenario. Only the club owner who actually pays the money will have a bigger say...

Laughing, he wasn't there last summer. Maybe he needs to speak to his friend Angus, who'll inform him how Moyes will kibosh every name. Reckon Billy McKinlay, Leighton Baines and Alan Irvine will have as much input as all those names.

Its focusing on what players dont have as the be all, rather than what they do have.

Akin to moaning about Lukaku's first touch and how we'd spread the goals around, this. Grealish doesn't have pace to inject over 10 yards?! SHOCKER.

There's always been scouting/recruitment departments, working for the manager. Then it changed so you had DOF model with ultimate accountability - Moyes/we got rid of that. We can hire as many head of or director of titles as you like, but...

They're the same thing - we legged the DOF, the manager leads it. He gets the plaudits for Arteta, Cahill, Coleman, Lescott and co, not the scouting department.

Jack Grealish wasn't signed for £100m because of his pace.

How many times did you see Mykolenko overlap, or Barry at the time, do anything movement wise? We need pace, but you also need players who can do something on the ball.

Spotted @GrandOldTeam taking the daily for a spin today, now we know where the subs money goes

To be honest after the Roma pre-season game, and just how out of water he looked and his build/age and knowing Moyes - I didn't expect the lad to get a sniff. He could be terrible, he could be nowhere near the Prem - but you then have to ask why...

How have we developed him? He hasn't gone out on loan in 2 transfer windows, has he? He's a full international. He's not on the fringes of the first team, when the only left back infront of him has been injured/unavailable, he still hasn't...

So what was the plan? Maybe someone could have told Aznou himself this plan as evidently he's not happy. He left Bayern to play.
