Schnederlin literally played like Vieira at Southampton. Hojberg doesn't look as good as he did. I think we can do better. I hope we can also.

He’s not a world beater but I think he’d be a decent signing personally. He’d certainly be nothing like a Moyes signing, I would guess even in the last year of his contract he’d cost more than Moyes ever paid for anybody.
My main issue if we sign him would be that he’d be yet another fairly obvious signing. When Brands came in we were all excited that he was going to be unearthing gems that we’d never heard of, but the reality is we just seem to pay £20m+ for the same type of player we’ve being buying for years. Either players who haven’t quite made it at the top clubs or the best players at clubs below us who aren’t good enough for the ones above us.
Think we pretty much agree, but maybe I've just worded it wrong/differently.
He might be a decent player, but not someone to take us to that next level that we seem to be aiming at.
Yeah sorry I was going to edit my post because I maybe worded it badly too. He’s probably the type of player Moyes would have signed, but whereas he might have paid £5m for someone like him we’re looking at paying £20m. I’m not saying that Moyes was amazing here, but we genuinely seem to have lost the ability to find value in the market and that’s something he could definitely do.
Oh definitely. I'm not as anti Moyes as a lot on here seem to be. Without him, we'd probably have been in a lot worse position. And he definitely had an eye for value in the market. It's just that imo during the 2nd half of his spell here, Everton's lack of money and ambition seemed to be very convenient for him. Apart from Wenger at Arsenal it seemed that he had the safest job in world football to me.

I agree that we should get as good as we can get, and Hojbjerg may be below that. But Moyes had us buying / playing CM’s that were streets ahead of the weak dross that we have right now.
Carsley and Gravesen were way better than any CM we have now, and they’d be more effective as a pair than all five of our central midfielders put together.
The same applies for Fellaini, Neville, Cahill and Osman on an individual level, and in some of their partnerships as well. Even Heitinga was better and he was really a centre half.

Yeah but brands also won’t buy Bolasie for 28 mil, Klassen for 25 mil, and Tosun for 25 mil. So I’m good with Brands not turning a profit on one player.

We signed Bernard for zero so 3 times will be pretty straightforward
far better deffo mate
Not disagreeing there mate. If we had that midfield playing for us this season, we no doubt would be have been a lot higher up in the table. Unbelievable the amount of money that has been thrown away since Moyes left and our current midfield is miles behind that one.
.....it’s difficult when not watching a player regularly, but we have to be careful because a flashy player might not always be the most effective player. I understand Hojbjerg is already skipper at Southampton, so I imagine he’s earned the total respect of teammates and coaches for both his performances and attitude.
He’s dece.
Have we even been linked with Hojberg? I’ve googled him and all I’ve got is about 200 articles linking him to Spurs.
United linked with Donny Van de Beek for 50m.
Guess when I said transfer fees wouldnt go down I was right.
Yeh and skint Liverpool are linked with Mbappe. Stay off the tabloids.
....yep, linked in January and again this summer.
