N’ah, I’m not even going there kid.

Transfer Deadline day is a complete farce, only really beneficial for the media and probably agents, and should be scrapped. Probably easily challengable under some prevention of trading laws or suchlike. I know that they are well paid, but must be pretty difficult for players and their families as well, potentially having to make quick decisions about where their futures lie.

Because that's what Kinnear explained the process to be in his ToffeeTV interview.

A three way committee of Moyes, the scouts and the data analysts putting forward players that all three must agree on with Moyes having the final say on whether to proceed or not.

So its all down to Moyes for the final say.

I've reached the point now where i will be more annoyed if McNeil isn't sold than only making 1 signing this window.

I'd take an emergency Braiden Graham appearance than anymore McNeil.

The only hold up on that phone call back to Palace should be from them rolling on the floor laughing at how we're breaking even on him.

Not a chance we actually sell McNeil for 20mil.

It's just too good to be true.

SSN saying that George loan with an option is a significant amount and more then most people would expect

 

[Richard Alex]

Sky just said it’s a done deal for George. They also said that the the option fee is more than you think. Won’t say though

So its all down to Moyes for the final say.

How it should be in our structure if Moyes (or whoever holds his role) is First Team Manager.

If we had a Director of Football and Head Coach it would be different.

Plusses and minuses of each approach - basically dependent on how good the Manager is and how long you expect them to be around in our case because basically buying players for their tactics/system, rather than a longer term strategy. It looks like Moyes has predominantly bought into the financial strategy the Club are setting but probably still quite strong on character and Premier League readiness, as much as age.
