He's a better manager than the man who left us years ago.

 

[Bally1989]

Pace ASAP

We'll also be looking at that lad at West Brom.

It's easy this ITK lark.

I'm guessing first thing thing that happens is Moyes looks at Thelwell just and any name he has on his he'll green light.

Just saying btw, Moyes really really wanted Onana, and he did get Kudos

Fair chance that him and Thelwell may be on the same page with a fair few players.

Curiously the both have a horrific record picking a striker too

I’d slap in a bid for Esse at Millwall. He’s going to move soon, Palace are sniffing around.
A good, fast winger.

No longer sniffing

I'd prefer a sneaky bid for Ben Chilwell. Much maligned but he's so much better than Myko. In the Baines mold. Moyes would appreciate that.

Incidentally Myko was so far forward last night, shame he hasn't the prowess to have an effect on games.

…he was playing wing back, so that’s to be expected.

 

[knowing your history]

Anyone from West Ham Moyes might go after ?

Aaron Cresswell probably as exciting as it gets! Is he red or blue? Was always a prospect at Tranmere and surprised Moyes radar didn't pick him up in those days, been at West Ham since 2012 I think.

I do think Chilwell could be decent even if he hasn't played for a while. One of those you wait until March/April to really hit their stride.

Unless we get a wiggle on, the new manager is going to have the same problems the previous few had.

Sign some full backs who can cross the half way line. Sign some pace out wide.

The first if it is Moyes is an absolute necessity, weirdly the second isn't - we typically never had any fast wingers under Moyes from memory

 

[bluestevon]

Need at least three players with pace before anything else. Whole team is so pedestrian.

Ok, assuming it's Moyes, look at some of his better sides - pienaar, arteta, Carsley, graveson, Osman, yak, jags, Baines, Coleman, Neville, Cahill, Fellaini, heitinga, yobo, lescott. Miralles, Gibson, pistoni, Naismith,

Most of the pace in those teams was actually at the back. Miralles aside

 

[windymiller]

….Aaron Cresswell aged 35 on a short-term deal. Local lad, wife is also local and just had a mansion built in these parts.

Let's get yet another geriatric full back. So he can make use of his mansion.

….Bowen and Kudus would do. Did he sign Zaha for United, no chance he’d let him near us

 

[bluestevon]

Going off Thelwell linked players in the past, Ebimbe could be a target, the young Brazilian lad also, both would fit in with moyes idea of fullback/wingbacks, fellows at west brom also ticks a lot of Moyes boxes .

The winger from Lyon and Gnoto - no chance imo now.

Lad from Strasbourg a serious possibility too

Oh Moyes will absolutely love Gardner btw, and my guy instinct says he'll try to get Lindstrom to play a pienaar role if he gets in a good fullback behind overlapping

Lol about zaha yeah pretty sure he regrets that transfer not sure if it was written into zahas contract as a bonus though ))

Moyes does like some pace out wide, usually it was via fullbacks - Coleman, Baines, Oviedo, Pristine all had pace

….what I remember was Jagielka talking about the repetitive daily defence routines. I’m sure he said we didn’t concede a set piece goal for two seasons.
