What Moyes may or may not have done 12 years ago at Everton is in the past and hardly relevant now.

Likewise Allen and Butland are names from the past.

You wouldnt believe it is 2020 reading these pages.

Why do we always overpay on wages? How much is Reid on? Wilshere? Noble? I read Lanzini is on 100k a week? Surely not. The decision making from board level in the signing and wages on the likes of Reid, Carroll, Noble, Wilshere, Zabaleta etc is truly terrible. Nobody has a crystal ball and can predi...

Was it not reported that Moyes made that very point when he was here first time and suggested the club underwent a 'detailed' review or such like of its scouting etc.? Possibly. We just seem out of touch on transfers. Get in a player who looked decent on match of the day five years ago in Allen Whe...

We obviously dont have much of a scouting network.

Imagine spending 80 million on Haller and Anderson and having them play in the same team as Balbuena, Masuaku, Cresswell, Zabaleta, Noble and Snograss.

So must investment needs to happen all over the pitch but its not going to happen is it.

1 good game followed by 5 poor ones.

Upgrade.

Would Villa and Norwich be after Allen, Valencia, Randolph?

Would Watford, Bournemouth, Southampton?

So why are we?

It's all gone quiet over here. Just shows how fickle some of our so called 'supporters' are. Makes me puke reading some of the comments on here over Noble. Makes you wonder what games some people on here see. New fans mentality I suppose. I see the handful of good games he has and the majority of p...

We need investment in both full back areas and central midfield desperately. In fact, how much money have we spent there in the last 10 years? We could have Pellegrini, Moyes, Shankly as manager. Wont matter. The squad isnt good enough. Yet we will probably sign a striker and winger and continue wit...

The recruitment at this club has been piss poor for years. Who is making the transfers? Manager or board? Cresswell, Fredericks, Balbuena, Noble and Snodgrass wouldnt get in any other team in the premier league. So half of our first 11 is Championship at best level. What managers, apart from the ult...

Not good enough.

Wouldn't get in any other premier league team. Think that says it all. You could say the same for the back four as well.

Change the manager as much as you want. If you have a number of championhip quality players there is only so far we can go.

Moyes, Howe, Dyche etc clueless talk.

Wouldn't mind Ancelotti to be fair.

All this talk about Moyes, Pardew, Hughes etc is just going backwards.

We should be looking forward.

As long as our recruitment is as bad as it is it doesnt matter who our manager is.

We need 2 full backs, a centre back and an industrious box to box midfielder MINIMUM.

Until that day arrives expect us to struggle.

Yes he has a good game from time to time but surely he needs to step back a bit and finally be upgraded.

Obviously pleased with the win, but its so West Ham. Get battered by crap and win the harder games. Isnt anyone bored? We could be where Leicester are if we didnt run away from the so-called easy games. Or was it just the keeper that was the difference? Either way, year upon year of beating the big ...

Long time lurker, first time poster. Pellegrini doesn't have the squad to competently carry out his prefered tactics. None of the four full backs are premier league quality, we need a mature leader alongside Diop and legs in midfield alongside Rice. Fabianki ---- Diop ------ ----- Rice ---- ---- Yar...
