Moyes must have a time machine or be using an old version of FM - he's just signed Gibson and Oviedo for Sunderland. Has he signed anyone at all yet who hasn't played for him before?

We don't need a team of specials, one would do atm <laugh>

We have a long history of not having a team of stars but rather workhorses, utility men and reliables who got the job done, went home, stayed out of the trashy press and came back the next day to repeat it. Allen was actually getting better and better and we did ourselves and him a disservice with the timing of his sale. We're clearly suffering and he's all but disappeared. Another season or two with us and we both would have benefitted.

We don't do egos ... are you listening Can.

There isn't a single player atm that I'm excited to watch. Come back Suarez all is forgiven .....

keegan, dalglish barnes etc etc etc.

a lot of players were indeed very "solid" but allen was never solid imo. you could not rely him being fit
 
Well, if all these teams are consistently better than us at finding talent, how come they're not consistently higher than us in the league?

Because we end up paying £30m for the 'talent' from these clubs instead of the £8m that we could have paid one year earlier. So the talent we have costs far more....and we have a tad more of it. That was my point. For the price of a Lovren, we could have had Van Dijk, Kante and Mahrez....

i hope i'm reading this wrong but if you are labelling those 3 players as just"solid & reliable" you are taking the self wum campaign to stupid levels that even the manc twats struggle to reach <grr>.

I also dislike this habit these days of calling a player as brilliant or **** . As in most professions a small percentage are totally useless and a small percentage are totally outstanding but the vast majority are somewhere in between. The trick is to find a squad that most are in the top 50% with a couple in top 20 % that fit the systen the manager wants to play - though he has to be prepared to tinker with that system to ensure the team functions to it's optimum potential.

As if we needed it, our recent experiences have shown that most players seemingly below our level are anything but ****.
