Beat me to it! Agreed. I was looking, and thought this was a West Ham transfer thread!NedN wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 6:24 am My God we really are starved for transfer news aren’t we, discussing Rooney for two pages…
We aren’t Everton, we aren’t Man U, there has to be a different thread to talk about whether Wayne Rooney was a generational talent and whether him and Gerard were same level.

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
Rooney went for 27 million (including add ons) in 2004. That's £38 million in todays money (adjusted for inflation).Ironing Board wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 1:26 am I’ve already said Rice is a first class player. But the gap between him and Rooney is enormous.
Declan Rice is valued conservatively at £100 million.
'Enormous gap' indeed......

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
Moyes did spend some of the Rooney money. I recall, he signed that bloke, wide left, can't remember his name now, but Billy, something or other. If it wasn't Billydinho, it was something very similar

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
I’ve said it on this thread before, many times, and I’ll say it again:
I cannot believe there is not a striker in the whole of world football who cannot do a job for us. I have faith in Moyes and want him to choose his own man, but to not sign one will be a dereliction of duty. Antonio is knackered and Bowen is not a long term solution.
Daka and Eduord were both gettable, would have improved us and we should have sorted one out.
It’s hugely frustrating.

Bent was amazing value for money!
Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
Daka is a good example. I think we were in for him but he chose Leicester.... where he's had some success but nothing spectacular. Signing him would mean we don't then sign the guy who's gonna make a real difference. Maybe Moyes did really want him, I don't know. But would you want Daka last summer if it means not getting Schick in six months? For example.EastVillageHammer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 7:18 am I’ve said it on this thread before, many times, and I’ll say it again:

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
Yeah, though a lot of people slagged Edouard off for some reason in the summer. Many felt he wouldn’t be good enough as he had been plying his trade for Celtic.EastVillageHammer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 7:18 am

£27 million these days barely gets you a championship striker.

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
I think the strikers Moyes has wanted in the last year or so were..
Toney - Brentford got promoted
Daka - chose Leicester
Abraham - Chose Roma
Makes you wonder if the DCL links have some truth to them..

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
Daka and Edouard are decent enough prem standard strikers. However, I think Moyes is looking for a striker that is a class above (DCL or El Nesyri).EastVillageHammer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 7:18 am Daka and Eduord were both gettable, would have improved us and we should have sorted one out.
If Moyes gets his man this window then we will marvel at his aspirations for our club and self flagellate for doubting him.

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
Daka has 9 goals in all competitions this season - the same as Antonio. Yes I would have really liked him.mattyD wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 7:32 am Daka is a good example.

There is absolutely no evidence we will sign a player, let alone one of of Schick’s quality in 6 months. We all assumed we would be signing someone once Haller left and that hasn’t materialised.
So yes, I would have preferred we signed a striker in the summer. The real difference is between us and other clubs who don’t have to rely on a threadbare squad.

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
I personally think he put all of his eggs into one basket with Abraham last Summer. I didn’t really think we were serious about Daka or Toney in the same way that I don’t think we were serious about Milenkovic when the primary target was Zouma.
I admire Moyes ambition very much in that he is targeting champions league quality players. Hope he gets who he is after.

Bent was amazing value for money!
Cahill proved an astonishing signing as was Arteta, the rest were a bit iffy, though

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
I make you right about Abraham, we tried to play the game with Chelsea over his price (with Moyes saying he was too rich for us in the press), I don't think he wanted Daka (no PL experience), but would have been interested in Toney if they hadn't gone up.ironilunga wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 8:10 am I personally think he put all of his eggs into one basket with Abraham last Summer.

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window
If there is any chance of us signing DCL (which I don’t believe for one second) we should be doing absolutely everything in our power to get it done. It would be a real massive game changer IMO and would announce us as real challengers rather than just ‘imposters’ around the top places
