contraversial but i dont think moyes would know how to spend 40mil. hes not a manager who chases the big money target, he likes to spend the right amount of money on players he sees adding to the club. 40mil to the fat spaniard, the scottish drunk or mr toad is nothin, they'd blow that on one player so long as he had a big name. Moyes is more like arsene the child catcher. all his moves are calculated. i sometimes think chelsea, man u and the filth just move on players cause they dont want other teams to have them. hey, if the moneys there then why not.
Moyes is shrewd. i dont want him to change one bit. sure i'd love to sign david villa or A.N.Other superstar, but we dont have the money. Like some of you before me in this thread, i think that 20-25mil is the amount we will/should get to spend, but lets say for arguement we get 40, how many players will DM be obliged to buy wi that budget? i doubt big bill will say, yeah davey, blow it all on one player. no, he'll say, David, heres 40 mil, i expect 6 to 8 new faces. do the maths guys, this aint a lot per player if AJ costs 8mil. If he gets 25, maybe he'll only have to bring in 3 new faces. who knows?
What i do know is that moyes will have targets and im sure he knows what he is willing to spend on each of them. He wont spend more than he thinks they are worth so i hope he finds a few bargains like Arteta, Pienaar, Lescott, Cahill.
A new winger, rightback, centre mid(can you hear the drums fernando?) should be on his list imo
For what its worth
