I remain a big Moyes fan and always stick up for him when his name comes up, but the fact that it took Seamus 4 or 5 years to unseat the Neville-Hibbert axis of sh1te at right back in his team is madness. If I remember right it was only in Moyes' last half season that Seamus was allowed to make the position his own.

Now he's second on Man Utd's list of right backs to spend £20m+ on, with only Dani Alves ahead of him. And this after a season when most would acknowledge he wasn't at his best.

It's a mad one.

Or it could be said that his 3-4yrs playing as a RW infront of Neville/hibbert has contributed to his excellent attacking attributes whilst also watching two competent (most the time) rb's.

More than likely it was down to the fact we didn't have an actual Right Winger for years on end and until Miralass Moyes didn't have any money to buy one.

I suppose it's impossible to know, but in his very first league game for us he got two assists off the bench against a Spurs side who had looked dominant to that point. He then went to Blackpool and was their best player (in the words of a tangerine mate of mine) for the final dozen or so games of their promotion season, playing as an attacking right back.

He seemed to have the attacking side of his game down very early, and I don't remember him making any defensive howlers on the rare occasions he did play at full back. I know appearances can be deceiving but he looked to be stagnating during his 2-3 years on the wing, and only re-emerged as the custodian of bossness we now know and love when put back in his proper position.

I reckon it's more a case of Moyes being cautious than calculating, but I can see both sides.
 

1 wks pay 4 alot of our players!! i think aswell as we handled the lad, which hats off to moyesy 4 that. it also helps that the lad came from basically non league footy, where you do really grow with ur own talents rather then starting off with a premiership youth team where ur game can be laid on a plate for you, in which case you can end up seeing a totally different player!!
 
To all our younger supporters, to hear Seamus was sold would be akin to the news Alan ball being let go when us arl ar5es were stunned back then.

Maybe not to the same extent, but devastating none the less. Seamus has everything to be an time great in blue, unfortunately the riches of the modern game elsewhere is too tempting for players.

Next couple of games at rb, he kept getting caught wrong side and in two games in a row took a player out in the box, one got punished, the other didn't, I think Newcastle was the one he conceded a pen, and if I recall, he took someone else down as well in the box in the same game but got off lightly, after that he was pushed forwards again, didn't get another chance until he had mature.
 
Some of the players did some sort of press thing with chang and spoke to a singaporean newspaper here are some quotes from coleman:

"This is a special club, a family-oriented club where it is a great place to go into for work everyday.

"Now, we need to work hard for the coming season and hopefully, we can win some silverware, be it the League Cup or the FA Cup."
