shit now there's a two headed baby cow
Looks like a Silent Hill boss
that's exactly how I imagined Arsenal fans would look like
He'd play every game at Arsenal too!
Football fans are the worst.
Did Moyes promote any youngster while he was coaching Everton? I think it would make a lot of sense to give a few kids a chance in order to hold until the summer transfer window.
Clegg mate, we may as well right off this season. Moyes will not be rushed. Slug slow.
He's not good enough for Arsenal. We'd be doing you a favor.

FF is the worst indeed
Tbf to Moyes he's already establishing Januzaj in the first team. He's the only young player we have at the moment who's good enough for first team football. He's recalled a few young players who were out on loan so maybe he'll give them some chances from now until the end of the season.
- Rooney doesn't need surgery, a couple of weeks "might" fix his problem.
- Reiterated the reasoning for the RVP fitness gamble that failed.

The best bit of business that United can do in the summer is getting rid of Moyes.
sounds like the best option at this point, any DM/CMs in the players who were on loan?
Tunniguff.
I'm sure cleverly 2.0 is waiting in the wings.
There's Jesse Lingard who had an impressive loan spell at Birmingham, but he's more of a wide midfielder than a central one. Decent goal scorer though. That's it really.
Nick Powell is having a good loan spell at Wigan but he's staying there until the end of the season and he's a number 10 rather than a cm.

The most silly quote is him saying that he's not sure if we acrually bid for De Rossi or not.
Well he must know, right?
Just loads of wishy washy statements.

absolutely. He's the best at being the worst.
De Rossi confirmed the other day that he was really close to United.
lol dc.
He deflected everything. Even his statements about the January window weren't definitive.
Lyon era was fun, I thank for kicking Madrid out of the CL multiple times.
Other than that they're utter cunts.

It's poor.
Get that he doesn't wanna commit to things, but he has to give some information. Everything is a maybe. Not good for anyone.
I don't like how he's handling the media with us. I never saw much of him in the press with Everton, was he like this there?
Cheers.
Yet again he refuses to give straight answers. That RVP thing is embarrassing for him.

Kyoufu, have I told you how great you are. Leave gaminggaf. Hitcher and i would like to welcome you. We are the footballgaf villains.
Tbh I wouldn't be that distraught if we didn't sign anyone in Jan. It's better to have your homework done on players so we know exactly who we're going after, how good he is, what he's worth and if he'd sign. That way we won't be left in a position like we were at the end of the last transfer window; panicking and overpaying for someone who wasn't first choice.
I'm assuming Moyes and the board will have factored in our potential lack of CL footy next season. So maybe they'd be prepared to pay that little extra to get a player to join.
The trouble is I think Moyes is trying too hard to follow in Fergie's shadow. Stop saying what Fergie did and become your own man.
This is a massive change for both club and manager and it will take time in part because Moyes is not used to playing in the big leagues. I honestly don't know if he will be worthy of United in the end but the least we can do is give him a chance.

Rollercoasters have peaks and troughs. This season is a bottomless pit you've fallen down.

This is it.
If we aren't signing anyone or were playing crap, fine. But to say he doesn't know if we bid for De Rossi and to say that the media would have been on his case if he subbed RVP against Newcastle is just weak.
Anyway, nothing major in these quotes. No doubt the club are gonna under promise after what happened in the summer.
I wouldn't be either.
But it would help to bring at least someone in.
Not like he's been sitting in his office doodling since summer.
It was something of a roller-coaster with that win streak.
Moyes reputed to want up to 50 reports from multiple scouts on just one plays. That might be an exaggeration, but we can assume that he wants as much info on a player before he buys him. He has more money to work with than he did at Everton, but that brings its own pressures. He won't want to spend £30m on a player that flops. So he'll scout them to death to make sure he has the right man.

wait a minute I recognise that roller coaster
United are not going to get the players they really want in January. Moyes is best to gather his targets and start the process of trying to get them early so that when the summer comes it's just a formality to get the players.
Moyes went from Everton to United that was always going to be hard for him. He had bad patches during seasons at Everton but the media didn't care because it's Everton but now with United every loss is an issue, outside the top 3 is unacceptable, and he's learning to deal with that. It will take time and even if this season becomes a throwaway if Moyes learns from this and things get sorted in the summer then United will be better for it.
Moyes is playing with Fergie's aging squad, not his own squad. We all want experience in our teams but Giggs, Evra, Vidic, Rio are past their best and this is without addressing the midfield problem. Moyes should be judged when it's his team out there imo.
