If Moyes has met the player , there is absolutely no chance it happened without City's blessing. To do so would mean we are prepared to meet their valuation & terms. No way Moyes meets any random player under contract at another club to have a...

Yeah, sorry, guilty on this occasion of not reading the entire conversation.

Thank you for accurately expressing what I was struggling to articulate.

Another left back is a priority because we only have one but realistically it’s going to be competition not a replacement. We certainly have bigger fish to fry than buying a new left back who’s a clear step up.

No I get all that, that’s obvious. I was just commenting on how the the original post was framed. If it said ‘Moyes met with mcatee but the indication was he’s not interested so it won’t go any further’ that would make sense. It just sounded like...

They’ll know to the penny what city want, they always do. The point was just that it would seem odd to set up a meeting with the manager if we don’t actually intend to buy him, which is how the original post was framed.

Garnering interest would generally be a call to his agent saying ‘would he be interested?’. The manager meeting a player would usually be something you do to convince him you really want him and he should choose you over other clubs. Meeting a...

Why would Moyes meet with a player if no bid is planned? Seems odd

People say we have demanding fans but do we? I reckon we could sign Jack Harrison, a central midfielder that nobody has ever heard of, and people would give our transfer window 8/10. It’s alright to expect us to beat Blackburn and it’s alright...

It’s not the first time we’ve ever seen them play though is it? We know they probably won’t get that much better in the next 30 days, because we’ve been watching them be rubbish for the last few years. Don’t get me wrong, the result in a friendly...

I didn’t see the game today so not passing comment myself but surely you’d have to say a PL player holding his own between the 15th and 58th minutes against a championship side is not actually a compliment.

All it really tells us is our right backs are crap.

It's not his fault. He just needs another chance under a new manager. Apparently Moyes shouted at him and it has affected his confidence.
