so
thousands of targets
and we can't sign one player
WHY MOYES
Interesting though, cheers Viva. A bit fruity, but fuck if it isn't well thought out.
Seriously, drop whatever your watching and watch this. imo, one of the best anime I've watched. Find it similar to Death Note, yet different lol.

ManUtd-gaf when are you signings someone, from Rumbo to Stroots to Thiago to Cesc to Fellaini. Otherwise my hopes are on Pellegrini to make Mou cry.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if we only have a few targets that Moyes is prepared to go for simply because of this. That article suggests Moyes wants to be a million % sure before he makes a call. Of course he will have an idea of what players he wants and can do with but if he wants that many scouting reports and players given the thumbs up throughout his entire staff (almost) I can't see how he can kick that habit and make signings so early into the job, on a whim.
I can see major positives and negatives to it.
That's true; you don't think he'd see how the scouting set up is at United before he moved in with his own system?
Truth be told I can't remember many absolute flops at Everton signing wise.
Yeah, I really should. To be fair, I am actually not watching much these days so Yes, its time for some Steinsgate.
Well Except for Hunter x Hunter. Man last few episode have been amazing. Love Knuckle!
We'll have to afford it seeing as BAE is fucking off for whatever reason, as much as the fans love his attitude AVB is probably sick of him by now.
Anyway Walker looked good when he had Dawson next to him, put Vertonghen next to Rose and I reckon he'll be premiership standard at the very least.

He may have had a look at it but its now his club and I'm sure those changes are being implemented already, but they're so long term that any benefit of it simply can't be felt until next summer at the earliest - it might explain why he said we are already looking at players for next summer, which sounded strange so early into the job.
I'm sure there were flops at Everton, since Moyes didn't have much money to spend we probably just never knew about them, or they don't seem to be big flops because there was no major outlay.
But if Moyes wants to work in that intricate way the structure of his scouting system can moved across but all the variables will need to be readjusted, it sounds like a long long process - he won't have even had a chance to work on his tactical systems and needs which that article suggests are also very detailed.
Do It!!
Going to watch the latest HxH episode today. Gon and Killua <3
the 'King' looks interesting. Hope they show more of him in the next episode.

Bilyaletdinov is the biggest flop he signed since I've been following the team.

oooh, I think you are gonna love the latest episode
Moyes destroyed him. He came with a lot of talent and promise. Played him in the wrong position, destroyed his confidence which made him useless.
Loved Billy!

I can't wait to see where Martinez plays Naismith. He was pretty useless when Moyes played him on the wing out of position.
Oh, looking forward to it

I have dropped Attack on titan around Eps 13. Such a piece of shit of anime with terrible pace and horrible dialogue
Billy is definitely Moyes' biggest flop.
That was an enjoyable read, although it really will require some tweaking to transfer that system to a club with 'limitless' funds and enough prestige to draw the upper echelon of players.
Funny how the article contrasts Moyes' system at Everton with the old school scribbling of player's names on cigarette packets. It seems to me that Moyes has spent his summer drawing any fucking name that pops into his translucent head onto a packet of L&B before shuffling it back into Woody's clammy paws.

Yeah, its gonna be interesting how he handles the attacking players in general. Do you think Jelavic will be our main striker?
I would love to see Naismith behind Jelavic as a false 9. They know each other which which is also plus.

I think Jelavic will have a much better year. Kone should be decent as well.
again because of MOyes himself.
Ironically he scored a thunder-like score when we beat Man United 3-1
Fuck, Ronnie was amazing ;_;
Even back then he had amazing pace on the ball.
Would love to see him at United. Even if we draw Madrid again in the CL.
It slowed down after the 10th episode, but It's picked back up a little recently. Will give it another couple of episodes and see where it goes.
Maybe I should give it another whirl and see if its picks up.

Bale to RM is most likely dead. RM don't have the money, the banking syndicate are sceptical over Real's funding arrangements and are now unwilling to give them a short term facility for the figure they want. Heard it today from a friend at one of the banks approached. They pulled the plug on Thursday which is related to Perez saying the figures Levy is talking about is too much according to him and them trying to fob Spurs off with £25m and three players "worth £80m".
Spurs say they won't accept a part exchange with more than one player (Morata, and no one else) and want £80-90m in cash up front having been burned by the Modric transfer (which RM still owe Spurs money for having missed one of the payment deadlines). Levy is said to be very, very sceptical over Real's funding as well and apparently even Bale has started to wonder whether he has just been used as a PR exercise for Perez who wants to look like a big man.
Levy is a shrewd businessman and I don't see where RM will get the money from given that he wants cash upfront. Now that their regular banking syndicate won't lend them that kind of money on a short term basis RM will need to free up funds by selling players. But it is a buyers market this season so they won't be able to get £80-90m without selling their Galacticos like CR7 or Ozil.

Well, it will probably depend on how our midfield holds up. It was a complete mess last year and we will have to hope that Mourinho, the signing of Van Ginkel and the return of Ramires will be able to sort it out. Seems a bit of a gamble not to get a bigger name in, Van Ginkel looks very promising but it's a bit much to expect him to be the solution.
Signing a great striker would also help. Don't think Lukaku is ready to be our main main just yet though I'd certainly have him over Torres and Ba.

Messi, pls.
I'm not assman myself but it's really...handy.
Seriously it's my preference.
Also that's from the first first person shooter Halo right?
I know :3
That team, with Bale, if they keep everyone fit is genuine title contenders.
