I kind of agree. I'd rather not sign players that don't want to be here.
Take Grealish as an example - the lad is quality and has been playing at the highest level and under the best manager of the modern period and despite being out of form...
I think we will see 3 at the back occasionally this season if Moyes thinks a tactical match-up calls for it. JOB and Branthwaite are both really suited to being the outside CBs in a three imo.
The squad has clearly improved and we have done fairly well
We are very short at full back and I'm a little bit worried about only having 2 strikers. We're 1 injury or suspension away from not having one on the bench and that's probably not...
Said in the Transfer Window thread but the floor and ceiling of the squad has been raised this window. We have players for now brought in like Grealish and KDH and players like Dibling and Barry for the future. A great mix.
We've got 2 players for every position. Plus a couple of extra keepers. Happy enough with that. Squad is better than last season.
Concern is right back, but Moyes probably secretly always wanted OBrien there. Aznou and Barry are raw.

As a German blue I'm obviously very excited about this. As mentionef before, saw him in Cologne on Sunday. Was in the first row so didn't have a good 'tactical view' but close up he just seems to be very athletic, superb on the ball and with a...
I’m made up that we signed another midfielder. It’s been a weak spot on this team for several years. Gana has papered over some cracks for much too long, but we just have to get better on the ball in the middle of the field to control the game...
….aside from joking, he does look the one who can replace Doucoure’s energy.
Found it interesting he sees ‘running at pace in possession’ as one of his main strengths, that would be most welcome.
Can see why the Freiburg fans aren’t happy with him going.
Looks like he can do a bit of everything, and can play a bit too, lovely weight of pass. Put some of the chances in that vid on a plate.
