This will be an incredibly unpopular opinion but it's because of Coleman. His value to a succession of managers as a bridge between the coaching staff and playing staff, it seems to me, has made them reluctant to seriously look at replacing him...
Kinnear has a key role in transfer strategy as a balance to Moyes and a support to the recruitment specialists. He should not be telling anyone which specific players to buy but he should be making it clear:
1. How much total we can invest in...
Is 'dithering Dave' now on his jollies? Really doubt anything will happen between now and July so may as well sign off until then...by which time most, if not all, our 'targets' will have gone elsewhere, anyway.
I’m not worried about the personally. I think Moyes will have his eye on being here beyond this first contract so makes sense for him to bring a mixture of young and old in this window.
I'm glad my peak going out days just missed the era of tik tok helmets, imagine feeling the need to film others for your own gratification. I'll never ever understand that desire
I like the idea of McAtee but honestly he’s not stood out for u21s in the last couple of games. If he wasn’t at City I doubt there’d be a £30m price tag tbh
