    Don’t doubt that at all it’s not his ability I question it’s the off the ball stuff you see week in week out, would you want him at our club ? I personally wouldn’t

    Cuz

    That's a separate issue, imo.

    Mourinho frequently mentions how important Fellaini is to him.

    In terms of judging Moyes' signings, Fellaini is clearly a success.

    Cuz

    Do I want him? No.

    But it's besides the point, because we aren't signing him.

    Because

    Mourinho doesn't want to sell him

    and even if he did

    Fellaini would have far more attractive options than us

    Slowing down the midfield more probably isn't a great idea either.

    Moyes talking to Sam is a non issue, Sam spoke to Steve Bruce before accepting the job and Bruce told him it's a massive club take it. That's after Sunderland beat us 3-0 in the last home game of the season.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I know but he was treated badly towards the end of his tenure so still nice he thinks we are a good club and harbours no bitterness towards us
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Well he was certainly treated badly by the fans but not sure how badly he was treated by the club as we won't know the full story of his leaving.

    Is it on tape somewhere? ;hmm

    I'd sell Arnie if I had a chance....and I have seen him!
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Not pulled up any trees yet did rate him but obvious attitude problem but thought the fee was ten million to much but with these inflated fees maybe not maybe he needs a no nonsense boss to get the best out of him
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    I just hope he is better than the last Scot to manage West Ham!
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Disaster the last one
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    But did bring in a few good players though

    Who is this?
    "He had a reputation for discipline and tried to change the training and dietary habits of the players. This met with some disapproval within the playing ranks."
    ;wink

    Lou macari lol just read that part
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Is the quote from Macavennie?
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    The chip shop owner from Old Trafford also asked when taking over what had playing the West Ham way achieved!

    Wrong thread....

    Moyes went to the dentist and sat in the chair.

    Dentist: "Comfy?"
    Moyes: "Glasgow"

    Felliani January move abroad is all over the sports gossip... You know we're going to bid for him. So thats one he'll try for...

    Oh and I've calmed (Moyes wise) and I'm hoping his apparent confidence displayed is real plus he does actually improve us (not jut a little bit as that won't help in a relegation struggle). Sort of giving him the benefit of the doubt ;puzzled ;hmm
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Miralis another one mentioned
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I think we already tried to get him a while ago... He cant get into an struggling Everton team at the moment so that would be a little concerning....
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    The lazy journos will now link us with every player Moyes has managed or ever expressed a interest in....
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Yes, Mr L. Baines will be our next captain. You heard it here first ;wink
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    And unsworth back in the back four if Moyes can get him fit lol
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Lazy journalism, they have no actual facts so they are just making stuff up. Again.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Bilic was linked to every Croatian and Besiktas player, pretty much expected from journos these days

    I agree I can't see much happening, think a new striker may come in if Sakho isn't going to play again but maybe it'll be Martinez who's promoted

    The main 2 positions I think the club will be looking at adding to is a DM or a CB but as mentioned only one that'll be an improvement which will be pretty slim pickings judging by previous January windows
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    You get more for your money in the summer, so unless we really need someone in January I suspect we won't see much business. I suppose if Sakho wants out, we might replace him, as you say.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I actually can't see anyone following Moyes here as he is only on a six month contract meaning it would be quite a leap of faith if any of his previous players were to seek to link up again. I would imagine most players now sign 3-4 year contracts and so they would likely want to wait to see how he does themselves. I can see him being given some money in January but just enough to be backed without splashing out, and should we look in a healthier position come Christmas then the sum may be quite small.
