Summer transfer window.

[Kevsleftpeg]

Garner is 25 and a regular established player before Moyes came in.
OBrien is 25 soon and also an established player just Dyche wouldnt play him for whatever reason.
Iroegbunum is 23 soon , another who isnt considered a young player.
Also players that were already here before he came in.

Can you name one "young proffessional " that he has brought in over the 3 windows that has progressed and playing regularly ?

Why does that matter? As far as I am aware you don't get extra points for playing young players

I'd be very surprised if we don't try for Liam Delap.

Moyes went all out for him last summer, publicly - I don't think a bad year at Chelsea will discourage him.

Maybe the contract he currently has will distract him though.

I can't see him being in Chelsea's long term plans though, I reckon he's only getting gametime now to get him in the shop window.

We are not getting Kayode lol

Said we should have gotten him way before they signed him, or Wesley. So disappointing really as weve needed a RB for many years and yet it looks to be O'Brien.

I think £35mil gets Kayode. They'd take that profit. Not many RBs around at the moment though and a limited high risk market.

I don't think there can be much doubt that Moyes prefers premier league experienced players over youth & that it usually takes some time for him to trust them, hence playing new recruits out of position on the wings.

Everton's starting XI for their 3-0 home win on Saturday had an average age of 29 years and 25 days compared with Chelsea's 24 years and 208 days.

This article from a year ago is rather telling with West Ham & Everton having the joint average oldest starting 11’s:

19=) West Ham United – 28.3
Now that’s what we call a David Moyes squad; Mohammed Kudus is the only West Ham player under the age of 27 to start more than 10 games.

19=) Everton – 28.3
So Moyes must feel at home in more ways than one at Everton, where 39-year-old Ashley Young is joined by first-teamers James Tarkowski, Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure in the ‘old heads’ club.

18) Fulham – 27.8
Last year’s oldest team have actually defied time and got a little younger with the additions of Emile Smith Rowe, Sander Berge and Joachim Andersen and the exit of the ancient Tim Ream.

This was a major reason for West Ham's downfall. Investing mostly in players with limited or no resale value.

A concern with Grealish and more of his ilk this summer.

I'm sure Moyes is bothered

Hope we go in for Hector Fort this summer instead sure he will be a sub 20mil player this summer.

Don’t see any merit in buying Grealish if we can just loan him again.

My jaw would honestly be on the floor. He looks like he could be a bonafide superstar level RB, is only 21, has had only one season there, Brentford don't sell cheap, and they're above us in the table currently

 

[Nymzee]

We could always just scout properly and sign the next Kayode… just a thought.

After all of the talk of European football, being linked to a 27 year old Stoke winger who has never played above Championship level brings you right back down to earth!

Feels like home

Why do we always get linked with rancid footballers even when we aren't pony.

 

[Roger Milla]

Can't see Moyes touching Woltemade.

He wouldn't have a clue what to do with him.

He'd play him right back because a manager made him play there in the 80s

Going to take a while to shake off that image of crapness
