A bit strong - glad we are all getting alongRiceascaptain wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 8:52 pmBenrahma scored 8 in the prem while providing 6 assists as an impact sub in 34 apps, that's solid. He is a very good squad player we don't need to improve on imo.Newmarket wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 9:47 am
Ok . I thought I’d already explained but I’ll try again .
Noble Yarmalenko Fredericks and Kral gone ( not that the manky Scot’s git was prepared to use him anyway).
Randolph SHOULD be gone .
As should Masuaku
Cresswell , Dawson and Benrahma need upgrading as they are either too old too slow or just useless .
Vlasic needs upgrading to a player Moyes is prepared
to use (like Arthur).
So for starters that’s 2 CM’s required 3 if the Soucek rumours are true .
A left winger
A right winger
A Striker maybe even 2 as Bowen ain’t one .
So that’s seven new signings just to stay still .
Then we have to take into consideration the depth of the squad . There’s no point in trying to take on 4 competitions including the ECL without extra squad/bench options that the Dinosaur is prepared to use , we are just going to get another season like this one and as ‘great’ as it’s been SHIRLEY we have to want to keep progressing ?
If you look on the official website at this season’s squad you’ll see a list of 35 players , half of which are kids that Moyes wasn’t prepared to even TRY .
Of the other half , Noble , Yarmalenko, Fredericks and Vlasic were only used for 5 minutes here and there out of desperation to give Moyes’ favourites a rest here and there NEVER to try and change the course of a game .
Diop only got picked when there was nobody else so he rated him only marginally better than Alese or Baptiste.
I’m sure there’s some damning evidence I’ve missed to add weight to my argument too.
And we need these new players just to stand still let alone improve .
Personally I feel you could Moyes a year long window and a Billion £ budget and you’d only get 3 players including a loan and still have a one dimensional squad , no plan B due to lack of options .
A below par bench that have no chance of getting minutes .
I really don’t know if all this shit is just Sullivan or not but Moyes’ dithering, not just in the transfer market but his in game management leaves a lot to be desired .
I’m sure this post will come across as an ungrateful one considering how far we have come since Moyes but if we don’t intend to try and improve what’s the fucking point ?
I don’t disagree that we can’t and mustn’t do it on the cheap.
Unfortunately we have recently tried both . Umpteen players in the first season at the grottbowl none of which gelled and in the Pellegrini season where we spent loads to no avail .
Sorry it won’t happen.
Dawson needs upgrading? What the fuck r u on mate? METH? FFS he was my hammer of the year and many agree with me.
Cresswell is a solid second choice left back for next season.
So to summarize u r full of shit Newmarket ffs, have u been watching us?
Thing is Dawson would like to relocate back to a Northern base club, so he might be allowed to depart. In any case DM wants a CB presumably to partner Zouma. So that puts Dason back as a back-up and he might not fancy that. Just a thought.
And DM wants asomebody more 'reliable' to share the engine room with Rice. And that ain't Soucek. You are looking at a Phillips or a Gallacher type.
Let's not forget the ongoing Lingard fixation, which would disturb and dislocate Benrahma's on/off ratios of involvement. Therefore it's the exit door for Said, who whilst admirably eye-catching, doesn't actually provide the sort of benefits, that sports watchers remember.
And while we're looking at those who don't do a lot, Vlasic is somebody whose performances remain a godforsaken mystery.
Therefore we can probably see, that with the Ins there will be Outs and unless Declan leaves (as if) then some of those Outs won't be popular.
Of course you might take the view that DM actually doesn't know what's he doing - and you won't be on your own in that opinion...other people suffer too
