No, not at all I don’t think Moyes was coming back here with the amount of risk and uncertainty at the time without knowing he had final say on transfers like he did when he was here previously I’m just saying I’d judge his transfer record more on his time here than at West Ham or United or...

I thought it was pretty well documented they had too many chefs at West Ham on the transfer side like when we had Koeman Moshiri Kenwright and Walsh all buying their favourite number ten I can see Moyes buying zouma, Bowen, Soucek, Ings, Alvarez and taking a punt on Phillips for example which...

Well yes I agree giving him a four year contract on 100kpw would be stupid Giving him two years with an option of a third would be a good deal for both parties

Interesting

Soucek is a good player who would be first team for a couple seasons unless something very good and unexpected happened with our recruitment If the moneys right he’d be a great short term signing but why would West Ham sell him on the cheap?

That’s a real doom and gloom way to say lots of rivals clubs have sold / are selling some of their best players whilst we haven’t lost anyone we didn’t want to, have brought in Barry and extended our best players contract …we do need to get moving over the next couple weeks but I’m happy with...

Forget silly handbags and bickering, I’m here for things like this gem on the Fellows link

Yeah 100%! I think because he’s awkward and physical refs always give the defender the benefit of the doubt but Beto gets kicked, thrown and grabbed all over the place

Honestly he kind of is unplayable when it goes right As we know he’s capable of skewing a shot off for a throw in but his pace and power and unpredictability are so hard to play against The only thing predictable about Beto is if you play a pass in behind the defence he’s already made a run...

lol if we sign a 24 year old Kanchelskis and our defence performs like last season we’ll win the league 🤣

I just remembered something worse than Kone 🤣 It was Sandro Ramirez 🤣🤣🤣 I remember Saha wearing it and on his day he deserved it but his day wasn’t really often enough I suppose the last true number 9 we had was super Kev!

By next week!? Come on Moyes we have less than four hours 🤣

I definitely didn’t imply it was a masterful strategy, I just said the three of those high wage players leaving is a good thing alongside Alcaraz signing and Branthwaite signing an extension which a lot of people have agreed with. Deadwood is not the right term, I can agree with that, I’d say...

Brilliant news - best player last year Don’t know about you but I like that contracts are taking a while to thrash out… means we’re not just bowing down to giving players everything they want (see Doucoure and Calvert Lewin contracts previously) I am also please Branthwaite deal just happened...

At drastically reduced wages which is why they didn’t stay and we knew they wouldn’t I’d have kept Doucoure on if he halved his wage which is about what he was worth but he was never actually going to
