geordieglory Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Moyes continues his ascent up the Ladder Of c***s since moving to Old Trafford: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/23/david-moyes-marouane-fellaini-leighton-baines?CMP=twt_gu Quote David Moyes has claimed Everton's manager, Roberto Martínez, is holding back the careers of Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines by not allowing them to be sold to Manchester United. The club had a £28m joint bid for the duo rejected by Everton last week, with Martínez intent that neither player is for sale. Moyes, who left Goodison Park to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson this summer, made it clear that he would not have stood in the players' way had he been in his old job. However, the Scot conceded that during his own time in charge of Everton, Manchester City attempted to buy Joleon Lescott for an undervalued price, so he has some sympathy for Martínez. "I definitely do but I also know that if I'd been Everton manager and Sir Alex had come asking for Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini, I'd have found it very difficult to keep them because I always felt the right thing to do was what was right for the players," he said. Everton described their former manager's offer for the pair as "derisory and insulting" but Moyes said: "I signed every player at Everton, so I know a lot about them. They are a great club and they are both excellent players." What a load of old bollocks. Yeah, Dave, I'm sure if Fergie had given you a call offering £28m for Baines and Fellaini this time last year you would've been all, "Oh yes, of course, Sir Alex, of course I'll sell. I mean, if it was anyone else but Manchester United then I'd tell you that I want to keep my best players and that you could get f***ed sideways with a large mallet, but seeing as you're calling as the manager from the Theatre Of Dreams no less, then how could I possibly turn your bid down? I do have to bear in mind that I could financially and professionally enrich my star players beyond anything they could achieve at my poxy outfit, you know. Just pop the cheque in the post and we'll get them sent by Next Day delivery for you." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 hmm I don't seem to recall such words when Man City came knocking for Lescott, in fact I seem to recall a very irate scotsman. In fact........ Quote "You just hope people will do things correctly, but that hasn't happened here," he said at the time. "They should look at how Real Madrid tied up Cristiano Ronaldo by paying what United considered the right price and doing it in time for United to spend the money, if they wanted." funny how time changes peoples opinions on things, but I'm sure he considerings £28m for Evertons 2 best players is perfectly acceptable and he'd have said the same thing 12 months ago................ Also Mr Moyes couldn't those same comments also be applied to a certain Wayne Rooney and his desire to go to Chelsea since he clearly doesn't want to stay and it would be in Rooneys best interests to leave?

sempuki Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 NUFC Stats @NUFC_Stats 46s RMC reporting that AC Milan & Napoli have been offered Mamadou Sakho, but have refused the offer. The player is available again PX with Cabaye would do me. Think we need another CB and he covers other positions too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 £90m for Bale £30m for Özil Is this a joke? If Real goes ahead with this I'll think Moyes will be laughing all the way to the bank. Imagine if Moyes could also get Mata and Rooney swap... Özil - Mata - Kagawa RvP (never going to happen Froggy ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Özil - Mata - Kagawa RvP (never going to happen Froggy ) No doubt it would be good at times but none of those players are suited to playing wide roles or interested in any sort of defending so not sure it would work perfectly.

Kagawa, Mata and Özil have shown they can play wide man, they're change between them, look at Chelsea. Hazard, Mata and Oscar are all better suited centrally (well Eden works wide) but Mata and Oscar exchange positions all the time and it works fine.

Tiresias Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Am I alone in thinking Willian isn't a £30m player and Spurs have dodged a bullet for that price?

He's good don't get me wrong but blimey that's a premium for a player that is a mercenary tosser and ultimately not sure he's that good It's all relative. If Bale is worth £90m than they got themselves a bargain Chelsea. However, if Özil is worth £30-40m than they got themselves an overpriced player. I think he's an excellent addition even at that price, he's better than Schurrle, De Bruyne, Moses. He's their fourth best offensive midfielder now, and since Mourinho is looking to opt for fluidity and pace behind the lone striker I can see him fitting there better than Mata. (who obviously is a better player then Willian..before anyone starts) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Its not an exaggeration at all, every time he's played there he's struggled to impact the game in any fashion. The only one of the 3 who is competent in a wide role from the 3 you mentioned is Kagawa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
