No you wouldn't because Van Gaal would play Rooney over Suarez, put Messi on the wing, Neymar as a fullback, and instruct the team to be so defensive you still only manage 1 or 2 shots on target each half
Would Moyes have done better with this squad of players?

There's only one person responsible for the fact we have only two strikers at the club right now. We know who that person is.
He's got a chance to get that sorted in January, in the meantime we have to hope one or both of our currently strikers doesn't get injured long term. Not that either is scoring at the moment anyway.
We buy a striker and pacey right winger in January and we've still got a good chance, no one is breaking away. Availability is the problem.
Yeh were not going to sign any known superstar in January but players like Mahrez, Mane etc could be tempted. Saints failed to qualify for Europa so Mane would be available home and abroad for example.
Mane could be a good shout for the wide position.
Is Austin still injured? I wouldn't want to pursue Vardy, too old at 29, especially considering everyone if writing Rooney off at one year older. I can't really think of another stop gap type who'd be available off the top of my head.

I'm not sure about the Thiago rumour. I think there was far too much swaying him towards Bayern than us. I also think that while Moyes certainly showed his naivity in the first summer transfer window, he didn't lack ambition in terms of his targets (he just failed in the execution). However I believe he learned from that and I'll point to the time he used during that season going to watch plenty of prospective mf's and from what was rumoured, speaking to clubs about availability.
Moyes often punched above his weight at Everton and missed out on top 4 bcos there were 4 better teams. With a better squad like that we have now, I think he was capable of doing more. Ultimately the one thing above all that I think warranted his sacking was losing the dressing room. I'd have to agree that he may very well have played 1 dimensional football, but then, that's what we're doing now anyway. So although I don't want Moyes back, I don't see how we've moved forward. All we can say is that the difference between Moyes and LVG is guaranteed top 4 based on a better defence. That is hardly an impressive return for the squad we have now.
Not if you played the Boro you wouldnt
Boro' no problem. He just had a problem with Sunderland

They don't have to. You can sense the urges from some. The ditherer is clearly irresistible.
"just not everyone can see it"
Only Treble is able to see his own points. Everyone else is either too slow or just plain blind to see the things that he perceives to be so obvious it hurts him.
Btw, this thread is idiotic considering how much Moyes has achieved since he left United. Did he not win La Liga?
Ahhh so you're going to make up your own arguments then. Jolly good.
Reading is more than decoding words. Above the age of 5, there is a great deal of "comprehension" involved. You should try it, you might understand what ppl have said
Moyes beat Barcelona or Real Madrid this one time. Bring him back! Ditherer massive!
And yes, weird isn't it. What opticians do you go to Treble to get such amazing vision that only you, literally only you can see.
When have I said "everyone is either too slow or just plain blind to see"??? I said "not everyone can see it" which means plenty can but a few (star struck fan boys) can't
Yeh bcos Sociedad have the same squad as us? Do you and UIR go to the same Kindergarten school by any chance?

Wow. I bow to your superior wisdom oh great one.
You're thread was a pile of **** like your opinions BTW, oh great one. You made it on the PL board for a very obvious reason. Nobody agrees with you. Ouch.

About 46 times a week. Do keep up, oh great one.
And are you a Yank? The picture is becoming clearer.

Being pedantic, that's not quite what he said.
He said we aspire to play like City and that we Liverpool were the favourites against us at Old Trafford. Both unforgivable toss of course but just saying what he said!
He may well have dithered in his signings but he lined up Herrera and Shaw, two of our better players.
He also left us Mata.
Then again, he also left us Fellaini!
