sogning a player whos just done an ACL is absolutely the opposite of a no brainer
kind of injury that can ruin careers, and certainly change how you play

Yeah for me Mangala is just a functional bottom half PL player, absolutely fine to have in your squad but not someone who you're wanting to spend decent money on etc. Signing someone who's still recovering from an ACL would need to have a much, much bigger potential upside than just being a decent option in the middle of the park - in his case it's like best case scenario he comes back and gives some solid cover and worst case scenario it's a complete blow out. Why on earth would we want to take that risk.
It definitely was a few years back...not anymore.
i still don’t think signing a player whos out for the first few months of the season is a no brainer
see what the score is in january if we have any loan slots
That a fair point but if he's ahead on his rehab I'd definitely consider a offer.
But thats just me.

Grealish, anyone?
I'll use that Rat Van Dijk as an example,he had major ACL and recovered to go on to perform at that top level.
Rehabilitation is far better these days,that being said it's all how long Mangala is actually out for.

Garner needs to become the ‘he’s fine to have in the squad’ type player because we’ve gone out and bought better. If we’re buying midfield players worse than Garner then there’s no hope for us.

They'll struggle to sell him I think, similar with United and Rashford. Both players earning over £300k a week and no other club is getting close to that as they're simply not worth it and are the wrong age, especially Grealish.

You know what, if he was fit, on an ok wage, and playing every week in his best position, he’d be an asset no doubt as I think he’d be motivated to get back in the England team.
I just can’t see us shelling out for his wages or him wanting to come here. Got Villa or Spurs written all over him.

Back to Villa makes the most sense. Next seasons Rashford for them except he already has ties to the club.
That’s not necessarily how I remember his signings for us.

Just a bit of musing from me, feel free to ignore
Looking at his signings during his last spell at West Ham. Similar to his time with us, Moyes seems to go for players who are ready to step straight into the team rather than bringing in and developing youth players outright.
That's why it feels like Alcaraz wouldn't have been a Moyes type of signing (on the original loan) though maybe he's shown enough in his loan spell.
Soucek does fit that mold of an experienced Premier League player who could drop into the defensive mid role and add that experience there. Not saying I think it's the right singing or not, but I think that's the line of thinking.
Looking at his previous transfer activity, I'd expect we're looking at players over the age of 22 who can drop straight into the team, likely with experience of this league (Shocking, I know!)
A lot of the bargain transfers which he was renowned for, were players who hadn’t quite cut it at this level, be it because of age, playing in lower leagues or falling out of favour elsewhere.

It depends how you look at it. Because he signed players that were proven in the premier league like; Lingard, Phillips, Emerson, Ward-Prowse and Zouma. But a number of the players he signed were not proven at the top level when he signed them and have gone on to be good signings, Soucek and Coufal were both at Slavia Prague, Bowen and Benrahma were both young players in the championship, when he signed them. I think most of the players on that list are better than what we have, but thats no surprise given our budget in the past few years
