David Moyes rules out any January transfer

[pfim]

It's worth pointing out that Moyes said exactly the same last year.

Then we signed Pienaar and Jelavic.

This is unpossible. No one ever says one thing to the media, then does another.

We've got all that new tv money coming in and we cant afford a signing to push on.

Good luck with the new SKY1 show Bill. You're doing a marvelous job.

It's laughable....we're riding relatively high and have been playing some damn fine football, and have lost only the once in the League thus far...yet still, theres Evertonians who hang on Moyes every word in the hope he can be hung out to dry at the first possible opportunity. I just don't understand it.

It's clear he's saying he won't do business for the sake of it i.e. it will need a big money signing in his opinion to change drastically the destiny of the side, and generally big-name signings don't really happen in January.

I'd say chill out, see where we are in January and then lets judge whether we need a few additions or not.

He only does it to wind us all up while effectively telling the current players "you're it so pull your finger out"....

Disappointing! I was expecting Ofoe on loan at least. I don't mind Neville as a squad player but he shouldn't be starting every game for us at his age.

Why did I just read through 5 pages of this thread? What did I expect to find?

We'll see how January turns out. I think barring injuries we could finish 3rd-4th with our current squad, but injuries are part of the reality of the game. At a minimum we'll bring in a backup keeper and at least one loan player, I'm positive of that.

Thats 4th gone

 

[Baines' left foot]

Moyes the hustler.

I'm fairly sure we'll get at least one player in, even if it's only on loan.

So he's not very good, but has built a squad that you think should be winning things off his own back?
Should also of been a lot closer than a final we lost by one goal with our best players missing?
Plenty of worse teams with worse records as well as the occasional flukey ones that you refer to.. How many teams have spent what we have or less and won more than one cup.. i.e not a fluke?
We're 5th best club in the country because of him by the way.

I never said anywhere in that post that "he wasn't very good", and i'd have thought it was obvious that when i referred to the quality of the teams he's had/has that he was responsible for doing so.

So yeah, he's responsible for assembling on numerous occasions top quality teams who have finished regularly in the top 8, often top 6 yet he's not responsible for the fact those same quality teams have never actually won anything under him?

He responsible assembled those teams with bugger all money, managed to regularly finish higher in the league than teams who spent more than him but he's not responsible for those teams not winning a trophy because other teams spent more money? And teams who spent less money did, and have equalled or outdone his overall performances in the cups?

Now i'm not as harsh on him for not winning soemthing as Summerskin is, i'd still deem his time here a "success" for everything else he's done, but that still doesn't change how he has done such a good job in the league yet such a poor job in the cups.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Oh and yeah, i'd not take too much notice of what he said, i still expect some players in Jan.

If its no one good though then i'll fume.

I bet we have addition(s) in January

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I bet we have addition(s) in January

I bet we do too. Two I'd imagine.

Havent read the whole thread but id take what moyes says with a pinch of salt, im certain he has scouted plenty of players who could improve us and depending on how things are looking at the time he may go after at least a loan for someone. Barkleys impressive form may also be in his thoughts regarding not signing anyone.

 

[Bluenose1995]

whilst we have excellent fans it is sad to say the majority of us are easily pleased with mediocrity imagine the RS or Spurs or arsenal being told year after year they have to sell first to buy their fans would be in uproar shame what Kenwright has done neuturing the seals

 

[edever]

The money to pay Ofoe's wages was obiously in place or we would not have tried to sign him on loan. That will be used to cover either him or someone else on loan in January.
No manager other than those who have no problem getting funds, is going to come out and openly advertise he is in the market for players especially if he hopes for a bargain
