Ya there was a couple games I remember him and Doucoure started together and it just didn't work with Alcaraz playing out wide which doesn't suit him at all

delighted, was really worried around april when he didnt start following the derby for a while that moyes didnt fancy him with no doucoure in the way and our main man at 10 next year he’s going to thrive

We’d have to spend 60/70m to get a DM as the Gueye we had last season and even then it would be a lesser player (that’s ignoring the fact a 70m player would have better offers)

Would be surprised if he fell off so much that he wasn't a very useful squad player at least in his second season. As most have said though, keen we get another first team ready centre mid in for this season to share the burden and prepare for...

Yeah exactly. I think even if we had triggered the automatic obligation, we'd still need to do these negotiations anyway.

Athletic are reporting the purchase option runs until the end of May. We've just missed the automatic obligation that set in after 9(?) games. So technically no-one else can do anything until that expires and it leaves us free to tie up a deal.

I would imagine they are just finalising the payment structure mate.

Great example of getting transfer business right,along O'Brien and Alcaraz,all around or under £15m,shows these type of players are out there and with the right coaching set up will prove to be great deals..

Apart from the Delap story where we made it public, my belief is that the press will be left in the dark as to our targets and will continue to make speculative links to random players such as Callum Wilson. Expecting a few to come out of the...

I have a feeling Moyes will persist on starting O'Brien RB next season.keeping Branthwaithe and Tarkowski the CB pairing until O'Brien takes over from Tarki. Might bring in an up and coming RB to be back up till O'Brien moves into CB. Would like...

Tuchel is a disaster appointment for England. SInce Mainz he's been a coach thats been dropped into great squads. Drpped into Dortmund off the back of Klopp Dropped into PSG off the back of Emery Chelsea not so much, but Lampard built the...

Let’s be honest he’s worked all his life for a shot at the top, when he is given that shot it’s would be madness on his part to not take the chance. The lad backs himself to succeed and that’s why he is where he is, yeah it’s a risk but no risk...

Absolutely this was the last good midfield we had. Barry was still a very good player, McCarthy wrecked everything in sight and Barkley was a young talent that showed more than a few flashes of brilliance.

When was the last decent midfield we had in all seriousness? I feel like we say this all the time. McCarthy and Barkley have sorted our midfield for the next decade here - they would both be gone within a few seasons Gueye Schneiderlin and...

Feel the Charly decision is an important one for Moyes. He wasn’t a player Moyes identified, he was one very much identified by the outgoing recruitment team and brought in. Thats perhaps why we have seen Moyes hesitancy on the obligation and...
