Saint Domingo's latest activity

Yup, I won't be listening to any excuses if we go there and lose. A largely unchanged side (even allowing for a few knocks) is an advantage at this stage of the season. Moyes is no fool. This is not his first rodeo. He'll know if recruitment...

That bench is literally better than some of the ones we had last season with two keepers and youth players sat on it. It’s not where anyone wants it to be but it’s still more than enough to play a game against Leeds. Stop acting like they’re...

Defence is actually the one position where on a paper we have two players per position Pickford/Travers Coleman/Patterson Tarkowski/Keane Branthwaite/O’Brien. Mykolenko/Aznou We can manage an injury but it will be annoying for me if once...

That’s a better 11 than Leeds will put out. They need to go and show it. It’s probably a better opportunity for a more joined up performance than trying to bed in 5 players into an 11 that have hardly played together.

Moyes can rightly moan about recruitment (even allowing for his own involvement or attractiveness to players), but his team should be good enough to go to Leeds and get some kind of result.

This is down to injuries again with Everton, it would be the second season in a row that Branthwaite hasn’t started because he’s injured. I think Tarkowski is back in training now so he should be ready.

What should happen for the Leeds game is we put out a team extremely similar to the one that finished the season so well. A solid back 5 Garner and Gueye in the middle McNeil Alcaraz Ndiaye behind Beto or Barry. Even then we’d still have...

The other factor in this is Moyes. Do people really think if he was in there slamming tables demanding Harrison Coufal etc. were signed that they wouldn’t be signed already? Moyes doesn’t want them either. He knows he’s on a hiding to nothing...

We literally just binned off a load of loanees/out-of-contract players precisely because we deemed them not good enough/too expensive on the books for this new 'era' of the club.... and loads of you are claiming that we should've just gone...

What's clear is this isn't just a problem we are facing - a lot of clubs are facing similar issues this summer. I think it will all come good eventually - but it's still frustrating.

There’s been a few that are head scratchers. I can understand the complications with Luiz and Fofana for sure, but how we haven’t paid the price for Hackney and AMN yet I don’t know. Would leave us with the rest of the window to focus efforts on...

the same people now saying we should have gone for easier targets are the same people who would have been kicking up a stink if we’d started the window with Coufal Soucek Longstaff Brownhill Callum Wilson etc.

Go and get Kubo, ffs.

I’d hope Barry is better than Beto otherwise why are we spending 30 million on him? He might not start the first game but I’d expect once he’s up and running that Moyes will be expecting him to be our first choice striker.

The equivalent of a Kanchelskis type signing now would be virtually impossible for us. Lukaku joining us was probably the closest since and that was when we were European regulars. There’s just no universe now where one of the best wingers in the...
