Would you rather we sign Grealish who Moyes plays every week or another Dibling to sit on the bench every week
While Moyes is here he won’t give too many young players a chance and we have to accept that
If the owners want young players signed and played they will have to sack Moyes
Otherwise it’s Grealish McGinn Soucek and Wilson ( Harry not Callum , but possibly both )
Well you've nailed it.
Moyes has signed the wrong players and Jack is very expensive gloss on that, especially only available for 50% of the season.
He's getting older and not playing much... No pace, expensive. I'm seeing people on this forum suggest £50m for him?
Compare his stats to Gibbs White or even
KDH this season.
Jack seems a good guy. But the PR gloss over his ( and our equally expensive youth), with neither contributing to our Europe chance is a joke.
Moyes and TFG fluffed the window apart from
KDH.
I
hope (since I think TFG will keep Moyes and therefore Jack ) is that this seasons' outlay are active for more of the season next year. Europe will require that.
If we miss Europe ( and we finish on three winnable games ) then what next session transpires to be I think determines futures of Moyes, Jack etc:
- Is it a V2 of this year...Tweaks to an ageing squad, where mid table is success ( as safety ), no cups, no Europe.
- Or evolution in playing style, with players recruited / growing into the gaps unaddressed this season (CF, full backs, no. 10, right side)
I think the only way 1) is acceptable is if our new boys play more, Jack has a positive season and we're sniffing around Europe with a cup run. That would be progress ( if not startling ), to have blooded 4-5 new faces, looking upwards etc.
Anything less shows neither a footballing nor commercial advantage to the current vision.
A lot then indeed riding on our end of season, for which Jack will not play.
