Farhad Moshiri

[Efcjake]

Toshun?

Alladyce had scouted him at a previous club. Not saying Moshiri never wanted him as well but its not like he was just willy nilly signing players over the manager/DOF like the rumours go.

Won't believe internet rumours but you have no problem starting your own....

 

[Azza]

Obviously just rumours but if Moshiri is trying to bring in players again then I would have to side with Benitez (ugh!).

Moshiri is a proper danger.

His best mate and closest advisor is Kia. Kia is Coutinho's agent.

 

[RomanReigns]

Reports him and Benitez are clashing over bringing in Coutinho. Benitez not keen on him apparently.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Wouldn't believe that.

No evidence anywhere that Moshiri has signed players apart from social media goss which the likes of the athletic hacks picked up on and passed off as concrete.

Tosun, come to mind.

 

[COYBL25]

If it takes signing Coutinho to get rid of Benitez, I’m in.

Alladyce didn't even know which club Tosun came from, don't think he even knew he was Turkish.

 

[LocalNative]

Just has not got a clue has he?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

He said himself he "spotted" Tosun.

Niasse (which makes sense as Martinez barely played him and was gone soon after) and Iwobi are they other rumoured ones.

Nothing would surprise me these days.

Niasse signed before Moshiri even rocked up here man lol

Why you shouldn't take EFC social media rumours as gospel.

They turned up at pretty much the same time, Niasse was signed whilst the takeover was happening.

It always struck me as odd that Martinez would sign a footballer who had very little ability on the ball for decent money whilst his job was on the line and then barely played him.

Who said anything about taking it as gospel? It just wouldn't shock me as I think the bloke is an idiot. I also didn't believe the rumours about him appointing a past it divisive manager but here we are.

To be fair technically he is German...

I know that but you would think a manager would know what country he plays for.

TBF at that point in his tenure Martinez was making a lot of senseless decisions and had been for some time. His tactics seemed to be mainly aimed at trying to prove he was right and everyone else - fans, the squad, pundits, the direction in which football generally was going - was wrong.

Yes, buying Niasse made no sense but then so did buying Kone, or Alcaraz for that matter.

Both Kone and Alcaraz made sense to me. Kone was unfortunate as he got a nasty injury in his first game for us and missed loads of time. Alcaraz was a back up (or was supposed to be) who I thought was generally fine until his mare in Kyiv. He knew them too of course.

McGeady however...

One of his bigger mistakes for me was bringing Howard back in for Robles at the time.

He will join Villa imo

Hopefully Benitez walks then. Always look at the positives. Or should I say try find the positives.
