Good. We need the right players, not just people we can get in fast.
People need to stop with this surety over Moyes and transfers. His best work was years and years ago, I mean we've just mocked our outgoing manager for seeking the advice of the sage Gary Birtles.

Moyes' record at West Ham was mixed (yes there were still some cracking players in there) but plenty of duff ones too. We missed out on good players in the past because of his love for fart-arsing around and West Ham fans found this too and called him Dithering Davey, just as we did.

We desperately need pace and goals, if we can't bring in goals as they can be hard to find, we need pace to open teams up. Moyes of course should have his say on transfers and his eye is better than a lot of managers, but he is not a DoF and the game has changed. Every club has access to the databases and scouting, you have to move quickly if you want a player. Big clubs have 50 odd players on their books these days just to take away options from smaller clubs etc. The market is too competitive to be dithering.

Where I have some faith in Moyes, and he should have faith in himself, is that if we sign some raw players, he can coach them to be better.

People need to let “Dithering Dave” go, as you say, it was years ago.

They have done. Couple of mates are Hammers and used to moan about Dithering Davey. Used to make me have a wry smile that I don’t have to get annoyed by it anymore 🙄

If you want me to provide you with evidence, surprisingly I'm not on their forums!

Then I won’t believe you. “My mates” don’t really cut it for supporting evidence.
 




 
Mad that seeing as they have Kudus. Paqueta that can control a midfield behind him. But they're not in any trouble at all, 9 points off relegation. I don't think they are in any kind of 'any striker will do' situation. Absolutely mad shout from BBC that. Bowen is apparently already back jogging after his injury and will only be out a month.
 




Thank you. That’s all I required.

I was curious if it was a name that followed him, but it seems they have the same idea.

I think it stems from Moyes being the kind of manager that waits till the end of the window, in order to extract full value.

"Everton fans bestowed the moniker ‘Dithering Dave’ on David Moyes at Goodison Park.

That stuck with the Scot when he dragged his heels over transfers at Man United.

And it has followed him to West Ham too."
 



Cheers bud.
