Alonso taking a leaf out of the Davy Moyes book of old, tried and PL trusted (with dodgy wrists).

Re: General Transfer Thread
Think we bought Pickford for £30m at a similar age, so price is probably about right even though it feels high.
No excuses for Trafford now though.

Moyes gets dogs abuse from some on here for giving a 32year old a 12 month extension, Hollywood Managers sign 35 and 36 year d players and he’s deemed to be doing the sensible thing in bringing some “PAST Prem ready players in”Big Nevs Vaz wrote: Mon Jul 27, 2026 8:51 pm Alonso taking a leaf out of the Davy Moyes book of old, tried and PL trusted (with dodgy wrists).

Re: General Transfer Thread
Apparently they're trying to mix up their model a bit having decided they need some experience to go with all the expensive youngsters they're buying. There's a happy medium though, going for experience doesn't mean getting in a bunch of over the hill journeymen who will hardly get a game.

Ultimately doesn't matter what any of these clubs do. They can sign these players, give them £100k a week, not play a single minute and everything is absolutely fine.

Re: General Transfer Thread
How has James Trafford increased in value so much sitting on the bench?
I know he is highly thought of but has he ever shown any consistent run of performances in the PL?
I honestly cant remember.
