Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
I wonder if this is his last job, he could go and get something, and I can understand after Man U,Sunderland, Spain etc that he'd wanted to prove himself with us, but he has, he won't get bigger than us and he's 60. So I can also see why he'd want a few more years with us, but whether he'd want to s...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I think one thing missing in a lot of lists is that whilst this year we have a lot out of contract or vacancies the next two summers fairly few are out of contract so a loan or two this summer is very likely as a stop gap or two. (Although Fabianski, Cresswell and Ogbonna may be out of contract next...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
Tim Steidten's recent interview said it takes 4 years to overhaul a squad. If you call last year year one, then this summer is only year two, we won't fill all the holes. We desperately need to pick up two or three gems for £5-10m from smaller leagues and get one or two of the youth team to come of ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
I seem to remember a few casting their gaze admiringly in his direction last summer...
If Moyes keeps getting top half finishes and fairly regular European qualification I think the only thing that removes him is if he loses the dressing room.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I really think this summer is when Tim earns his money, Botman, David etc we’re bought for about £6m a pop. He can’t be expected to find 10 of them but 2 or 3 plus a Bosman or two will make a massive impact on our squad.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
It's a pity that the three promoted teams look likely to go straight back down; there isn't much there I'd want to take and they are probably still on low contracts, whereas if Everton, Forest, or, at a push, Brentford, Palace of Fulham fell away, I would be interested in a few more. That said hope ...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
If you look at contracts expiring there are a lot this summer then a couple of light years. Giving Coufal another year and maybe Fab too makes sense from squad planning. If we’re out of Europe arguably 3 full backs with Johnson on both sides might be enough, particularly if some youth players may st...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
Who would be your realistic preference? Toney is the obvious one if none of the big boys are in who would be the instant elevation... but its very much a lot of money at the expense of other positions Toney's attitude stinks, to come back from a long ban and say within weeks that he wants to move, ...

Re: The Cresswell Thread
Given how few he scores and how little he's playing probably his last goal for us, but not a bad way to do it.

Re: ✍ Welcome, Kalvin Phillips
I hope he gets a call up and some minutes. He needs them. He can't get worse for us short of getting a season-ending injury.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I prefer Kudus on the right side but long term I think he can make that position behind the striker his own. It’s the only way you fit him, Bowen and a high profile striker into the starting 11 for me It feels like quite a Moyes thing to let a player acclimatise to the Premier League on the wing th...

Re: Ben Johnson
I believe he wants first 18 wages which is £65,000 a week. We wont pay that but Palace will. Its about money That's a lot of money for a player who still hasn't nailed down a first team place. If he wanted 35k and bonuses/triggers that took him to £65k, if he makes the appearances, then I'm fine wi...

Re: ✍ Welcome Emerson Palmieri
There was, at one point, in the second half where we lost the ball near the corner flag (Brentford) end and they were on a counter attack, he bust a gut to get back and cover the ground to hold the play up while the rest of our midfield jogged back. I remember when Moyes dropped him when he didn't ...

Re: Tim Steidten - How should we assess his contribution?
It will be interesting to see who buys Gould's family out; if Sulli's allies fall below 50%, he could lose the chairman role, or it becomes a much less powerful position. Every chance that the sale is made before the summer window opens and then the past form of how he has operated is probably less ...

I think Dendonker was at the club but we pulled the plug.
