Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Dave]

Yes please. Moses and Ki would make a massive difference to our squad.

An on form Moses is just the kind of wide option we need.  Slight concern would be that he could turn out like Sinclair at the Albion last season though.   

Is an on-form Moses any different really to an on-form N'Zogbia?

[Clampy]

Whenever I've seen Moses, I've not been that overly impressed. He's 'alright' but that's about it.

[Steve R]

Medel looked fairly useless against us at VP. Didn't Uruguay play him in the back 4 in Brazil?

Close. Chile play him in a back three.

To be fair, I did get the right continent. And the right World Cup.

[Tuscans]

I think Moses is junk. Always thought that when he was at Palace and Wigan....Chelsea and Liverpool will tell you the same now. Performs once every 10 games.

[bobdylan]

I like Moses, i think he'll offer more than Gabby over the next few seasons.

[peter w]

To be fair he had a very good season or two at palace before moving on. The step up to Chelsea/Liverpool is a lot more difficult as the competition for places is harder as you are against better players. Stands to reason. I'm not saying that he will develop into a top player but neither do I think he's this season's Scott Sinclair who after all only did it for Plymouth and was very up and down at Swansea.

[PaulWinch again]

Moses isn't as good as N'Zog.

Given that a lot more of Moses's appearances have been on loan and carrying Palace I reckon the stats don't back you up.

[IamLegend]

Those stats don't tell us anything. A wingers job is not just about scoring goals, and how does it matter about loan appearances.

IMO Moses and Zog are both inconsistent as fuck, lazy and not worth the wages.

[peter w]

What they do yell us however is that they do not back up the statement "Moses is not as good as N'Zog".

[pauliewalnuts]

And N'Zogbia spent much of his time at Newcastle playing as a full back in any case.

[IamLegend]

Also, over half of Moses' goals came in the Championship.

Sinclair got 28 in 82 for Swansea, which is a fantastic record for a winger.

What a waste, sitting on Man City's bench then going to Albion and failing to get into their shit team very often.

Yeah and then once again he decided that he'd rather sit on the bench then play first team football. Having never gotten near the first team at Chelsea he went on loan everywhere and then finally got his chance properly at Swansea. Then he chose to go to Man City where he must have known that he would never play in their first team.

He only has himself to blame for his mediocre career.

A bit like all those midfielders that sign for Spurzz and then wonder why they aren't getting in the first team ahead of their other 58 midfielders.
