David Moyes and transfer windfalls.

[blueblue]

On the few occasions that David Moyes had substantial funds available as a result of selling players he rarely brought in players that have been outstanding successes.
Strangely,Distin as a replacement for Lescott has been one of his best buys,even though he was more or less seen as a stop gap measure.

I assume that Fellaini will leave the club, I think it is likely that it will happen.
As clubs get nearer the start of pre season training I think we will see transfer activity start to increase. I think that deals are being discussed,replacements being lined up and all the while the buying clubs are trying to save money by delaying transfers one more week.

If we do have funds arising from a sale it will be very interesting how this money is spent by our new manager. It will be interesting to see if people believe that his spending will have compensated for the loss of a very good player.

For instance, I would say that the proceeds from the sale of Lescott really di not move us forward as a club.

David Moyes had substantial funds from sales twice.

With Lescott :

He bought 2 CBs, both which won Player of the Season awards last Season and a pretty gash Russian fella who we loved, but was quite terrible.

With Rooney :

He bought :

Lescott, who was outstanding and was sold for 22m, Andrew Johnson, who scored a lot of goals and was sold for a nice profit, AVDM, waste of talent, Phil Neville, good 6 Years, great Captain, Mikel Arteta, best Everton player for a LONG time, sold at a tidy profit and Kroldrup, I dont need to say how that went.

So please, can you point me towards "On the few occasions that David Moyes had substantial funds available as a result of selling players he rarely brought in players that have been outstanding successes."?

Theres lots of sticks to beat Moyes with, his transfer policy is the wrong 1.

I feel we are only trying to find the negatives in Moyes, since he has gone. He wasn't that bad.

Cahill??

 

[Brennan]

Cahill??

Bought before Rooney was sold.

 

[Goat]

Cahill??

Cahill was bought before the sale of Rooney.

 

[FTY]

Bought before Rooney was sold.

Really? I've always thought he was bought with the Rooney money.

Thought the Kaldrop fee was not paid in full! Beattie was a 6 million flop - when Dean Ashton was at crewe up the road for 1 million DM was ok in the transfer market Cahill & Arteta were his best bargain buys imo!

I don't quite understand this thread.. in fact Moyes proved to very shrewd in the transfer market. In addition to some of the dealings mentioned above, think more recently about the recent break-through of Seamus Coleman and the paltry sum we paid for him (less than a million quid) and even Kevin Mirallas at £6m has proved to be outstanding value.

Made his debut at UTD away just before the transfer window closed, Rooney was still at Everton

His big money signings were disappointing.

His top five most expensive:

Marouane Fellaini -- £15m, big risk, mis-used at times but definitely worthy of being our record signing.

Yakubu Aiyegbeni -- £11m, great first season, and then (for whatever reason) became completely ineffective like all strikers under Moyes. Sold for a pathetic fee. Awful, awful bit of business.

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov -- £8.9m, I liked the lid but he was either never played centrally where he might have shined or depending on your outlook, was always a wide player -- just not a very good one. If so, why did Moyes by a LM when we had so many weak points in the team, and that wasn't one? And a crap LM at that. Shocking business, another loss made.

Andy Johnson -- £8.6m, Crap player in my opinion. A one season wonder. Somehow we made a profit on him but that can't be claimed to be part of Moyes' ambitions when signing him. Clearly he was a poor signing for the team. But lol Fulham.

James Beattie -- £6-7m, Championship player. Utterly gash. Crap business.



Now I'd use those top four as the only examples of us spending what I'd call, for us, big money. Beattie was ranked sixth on transfermrkt but only because for some reason they have VDM in fourth... so I suppose, although he was a crap signing you could argue Baines, Lescott, Mirallas as examples of £6m ish signings that were ace. Point is though, with a decent wedge, he's only done well with Fellaini. All of that said, he still didn't know how to use him effectively!

 

[Christiffa25]

And lets not forget the ones that didn't work out still went out for money and other replacements brought in. Obviously not the best time to use as an example but billy on leaving provided the money for jelavic. Did koldrup's money not buy jags? Can't remember. But you get my point.

It's impossible to get every transfer right. Moyes record overall given our finances was exceptional.

Well Utd better watch out then, which I think is the gist behind the OP>

 

[Joey66]

Every Manager makes a blip in the transfer market Kenny Dogleah is the champion of champions of this two buys stand out -Andy Caroll 35 million and Geordie Henderson 16 million - did he not blow 100 million in one season hence the sack?
