Players probably have a high opinion of themselves as well. They may well have started the window thinking CL clubs would be queueing up. Suddenly when it’s later in the window guaranteed first team football in the PL doesn’t start looking so bad...
Moyes did similar with Coleman at first playing him as a winger before moving him back. Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw the same with Patterson if injuries bite out wide.
I doubt they're even the players he's talking about. It's obviously impossible to know but I would guess he just means on a more general level rather than specific targets, like we've pitched things to agents who've just flat out turned it down...
It’s mad now that a lad with one decent season at Lyon and a kid from City who can’t make the first team are apparently such top players that they’re swerving guaranteed first team football.
People might have had a point about Moyes targeting...
We can’t just hoarde players that don’t improve us. We actually have to pay them and footballers earn a lot. We want a committed squad that will improve in ability and value over time. We don’t want an ever changing squad of mercenaries who don’t...
I'll pass comment once the reg deadline for Leeds is here mate, life's too short for me to get angry at something that in a week's time could mean I've been raging over nothing.
That’s how I see it. I think he’ll have to be very good to shake Mykolenko. Mykolenko has years of experience in the PL and when he’s alongside Branthwaite Tarkwoski he doesn’t make many defensive mistakes. I think if Moyes wanted a new starting...
I could imagine Everton have a decent story to tell Fofana. Look at Mirallas Fellaini Lukaku Onana who all came to Everton and earned starting positions in the Belgian 11 whilst here for world cups and euros. Maybe he can see a pathway that comes...
Can you imagine this place if after being pumped 3-0 by Bournemouth Sean Dyche had come out and said:
I expected that result, we might not be the best team you play on this tour at the moment
We missed Keane and Coleman
The grass is different...
Just have a strange feeling Moyes will keep Armstrong, especially if Iroegbunam goes on loan. He loves a player to have had championship experience which Armstrong has and Moyes normally likes a young player or two around the first team squad to...
I doubt the same level of club will be interested in him to be honest, he’s nowhere near as good as branthwaite, and there’s not a lot of benefit (to us) in him going to a second rate Dutch side. Personally I’d think if he goes on loan it will be...
