For the purposes of accuracy...

What did I expect to happen when the club were in talks for 2 full backs?

I expected the new manager to look at the squad, and team and see that with Patterson injured we had no right back. Also only one left back.

If he didnt want to sign one permanently then we could have loaned one, e.g Kayode from Fiorentina who went to Brentford later.

Choosing not to add to this was the managers decision.

One window gone.

Second window, still no new right full back options. I'll count Aznou as giving us 2 left back options even though the manager has treated him terribly.

We were told by Boyland that the funds available were £200mil. No excuses.

Third window ?

So, were now in our 3rd window 12months on from Moyes terminating discussions for 2 full backs.


Edit: If the 1st window "cant be counted" does Alcaraz not exist?

We'd have been lower in the table last season but for him.

Give me guaranteed sources for these 2 Rb's you keep mentioning that we turned down.

Alcaraz was a loan that Moyes refused to give him enough game time to trigger the obligation, we than only signed him on a 2yr deal, no sell on profit, obviously he wasn't convinced enough.

We have plenty of opinions that are in sync.
But there is also ones where we aren't in sync.

Villa
Arsenal
Both terrible club choices to use as an example against us.

We wouldn't give a manager that long to build a team. Not on here anyway.
