…..the new regime were left in a right mess with so many players out of contract. I think the renewals were pragmatic (Gueye, Keane) whilst not being held to ransom by others (DCL, Doucoure). Having strict understanding of a players worth is a good sign. Early acquisition of Alcaraz.
A few key signings I wasn’t overly keen on (Grealish, KDH) but Moyes explained he wanted greater quality in possession, particularly top third. He’s bringing in what we need, the signing of Grealish already looking a gem and raising our profile too.
Funny that our two big money signings (Barry and Dibling) were both on the bench at the weekend, but adding Rohl and Aznou is an indication of strategy of young players with real potential.
There was so much to do, unlikely it would happen in one window. We won’t truly know the worth until Christmas but I’d go a solid 8/10.
