Ah yes, anything that the PTSD Moyes Comfy Cardigan Brigade find uncomfortable is "foolish". Moyes failed miserably to attract the players he actually wanted in the summer. Why is that? It's not merely the old "Everton have been crap for too long" argument - which comfortably forgets that Moyes has been our manager for almost precisely half of the 30 years we have been trophyless. It's that David Moyes is a certain type of manager: one with little to no reputation outside this country and who is best known for being a disastrous Manchester United manager.
It's only a few years since Carlo Ancelotti managed this club. Proof positive that higher tier managers than Moyes are gettable - unlike many of the players he batted his eyelashes at this summer. Grealish - in demand nowhere else - is the exception that proves the rule.
And yes, I do have a very high bar. Mediocrity Moyes doesn't cut it.
Im more than fine with Moyes steadying the ship this and next season.
No problem with him at all.
However, we need to be building a new young team. Those players need games and to improve and yet we are seeing the absolute opposite.
The truth was that Moyes first went after a number of senior pros who all rejected him apart from KDH & Grealish who were unwanted at their clubs.
The FC Moyes lovers like to ignore this.
If he cant attract, develop and play top young players then he wont give us that super new squad to get us to the top.
He'll blow £300mil like at West Ham on mostly senior players and leave us holding the bag.
Would that be the same Iraola languishing in 14th place? The latest flavour of the month, a bit like Thomas Frank.
Only 2
Points behind us and the lost 3 of thier back 4 in the summer. Summer before lost their number 9 and went on finish 9th. It’s also how they play and the end of the day Bournemouth is a very small club. How
Many times will the finish higher than 9th in the next 30yrs?
That has to be the most daft comparison with Moyes ive seen in a long time.
Iraola a manager who gets young players up to the premier league and the club makes fortunes on them.
Imagine if Everton were able to sign those same young players, develop them...but keep them rather than sell.
Thats how you build winning squads. With an Iraola who shows flashes of SAF in his player development and bravery.
He didn’t build the current squad though. Moyes wanted McTominay and Maguire and they got him JWP, Alvarez and Mavropanos.
Their current squad is a Frankenstein’s monster of a few Moyes stalwarts along with Steidten, Sullivan, Potter and Lopetegui picks.
If you think Moyes didnt sign off on every single transfer then sorry to say you are off your nut.
Its Moyes modus operandi to have full control on transfers. Why else has every other DOF been binned off under him.
He rejected Morgan Rogers and signed Kalvin Phillips.
If that doesnt summarise David Moyes in the transfer market i dont know what does.
