Hes right to mate, sometimes you need to go and drop £35 -£45 mill on a player, if they are going to be a clutch player for the next 10 years. You can haggle for AMN or a covering full back, but you dont mess around with essential infrastructure...
Oh I think it's not even interesting but a direct result of this.
Mcatee is and I think Boyland and Bobble both referenced this also the prime target for Moyes and he wants it done
If Moyes words have the effect I think they are meant to have, we will see a serious bid go in for two players this week close or at what their clubs want, one of those will be Mcatee.

I agree with you that their are only two who we could say would have competed for starting places. However, I would have liked to have given Tom Cannon a better chance as he was a player who I enjoyed watching at youth level and he also had a...
