He was there about forty years. If he didn't have any flair players, that's his choice.

I wouldn't buy flair players either if the budget available was only enough to afford the crap ones.

There weren't particularly dazzling flair players there but they were effective at least. Arteta was good. Osman was effective. Fellaini was very effective (though not particularly great to watch) and so was Cahill. Much as I'm excited for Grealish and Gil, just how many goals and assists have they managed so far?
At the moment we need effeciency over eye candy. Now if Moyes can add efficiency to Jack or Carles's games, then that's fantastic.

Personally Id like us to go with a foreign manager, worked out well for West Ham and Southampton.

Offer Ancelotti big money and a promise of cash in Jan.

But this board are inept and we'll end up with Moyes or Rodgers.

Well, we might but if Sanchez or Gana get injured, we don't.

I'd like us to get a manager with slightly longer greying hair. It hasn't worked out with managers with short hair. Look at pellegrini and wenger.

Well we've got two good midfielders who can anchor. We've got plenty of attacking midfielders who have talent. With something resembling a gameplan they may start creating more chances and scoring more. Ayew looks potentially very good and may flourish moving into the CF position. There is Kozak to come back into the fray too. As for Gestede, Moyes may use him more effectively than Sherwood, as a kind of poor mans Fellaini I suppose.

That said, January's window can't come soon enough.

I think Moyes could get a lot from Amavi too, given what he got from Baines. Baines was never the best defensively, but was fantastic going forward. He often played as a more of a left winger, and had the freedom to as someone would be covering him at the back.

My hope is that Veretout can step up his game too and become a feasible option too. As long as Westwood doesn't get near the first 11, I'll be happy.
