Anita for us is on that list (alongside the makeweight players of Dummett, Tiote and Gouffran) and would be a decent acquisition for a bottom half of the table side. I think he'll stay with us but not convinced.
Was to me as well. Bain will have been the main player too. It was overseeing transfer fees and he's the man entrusted with the budget. If he tells a player is off the table, not much Moyes can do, and with Yann never playing under Moyes, it won't have been much disapointment to Moyes who'll already have had his own targets. Oh there will be a little bit of money. Enough to satisfy the gullible but nowhere near enough to address all the problems. It will be just like every window.
Behave man. They're all worse than what we already have. Tel said incredible, those aren't even average
Yep Tel, Snodgrass would be great. some club will be in for Pickford but we want about £50m and use the money on a top striker/midfielder it's about time we stopped making losses on players. Also bring Mig back. The Burnley goalkeeper was bad last night yet he played for England a week ago.
Is Micky Gray a reliable source? - I seem to remember at the earlier part of the season he got shot down for spreading rumours without foundation.
No he's not. I think he's a gobshite, and the fact he is on talkshite with a bunch of kernts says it all.
Dead right. He soon disappeared when challenged over his statement about no investment just about a hear ago. Sounds like recycled opinions without any foundation.
Thats what is being rumored for Van Dyke, and if this is true then why not this lad, its not unthinkable, in fact I think he will go at this sort of price one day.
Just a snippet from his explanation last August. Money was ready, DA could or would not get the players he wanted: “Michael Gray made quite a serious accusation saying that I have lied to supporters. I have not. Michael Gray should admit that he was wrong." Short said the club had already spent more than £20million on transfers this summer and will seek to sign further players in late August. He said: “I generally prefer not to comment on transfer business until the window has closed, but I wanted to correct some inaccurate figures in relation to our signings as what is published is rarely correct. “To date, this summer we have committed £21.5m in transfer fees (this includes the mandatory purchase of Santiago Vergini) and remain hopeful that there is still more business to be done before the window closes on September 1.” Maybe Sam got the rest in January.
Well I'll make an accusation. Short is a stingy bastard & Moyes will get well less than what is needed. It's like saying to a bricklayer, "build me a house, here's some lime but you're getting no cement."
DA was either unlucky or we could not convince players to come (nowt new there). During the same period we lost Fer who failed a medical, and a Belgian international centre half who came to the club but still did not sign. Those two alone would have added at least 20-30mil to the spend. Moreover, we could have a tidy profit on Kone this summer but kept him. What Gray and others are saying is purely conjecture and as Tel says, the January transfer window will be a like a game of poker.
