The thing with
Moyes- when he has had a bit of cash to replenish the squad he has done so to good effect.
I have harped on about it but the midget gems of Arteta-Osman-Pienaar was some very special football at the time- the European nights had us all creaming all over the show.
He has turned players like Arteta, Lescott, Pienaar (even though he was sold for less of his true value) Beckford, McFadden into players that were sold at a profit in some cases- Lescott a huge profit.
In a world where we have to sell to buy there are not many managers that buy players and sell them at a profit to then replenish the squad. With a bit more money I am sure we would be right up in the mix- our squad is full of internationals and some superb individuals.
Moyes bough these players-
Howard, Baines, Jagielka, Heitinga, Distin, Fellaini, Gibson, Coleman, Pienaar, Jelavic. All names that we have been purring over in recent times. Big players in my opinion and I truly think that we are only a couple of names from being right in that mix.
Im glad Moyes is staying- would love him to have some funds to add a couple more gems to be able to play some decent football in front of what the side provides in the way of substance.
