Moyes said in his presser today that he has final say on transfers which in this day and age is wrong and unprofessional

It's basically gonna be Rohl at RB for now isn't it.
It won't get addressed again next year either.
I don't want it to be, but I also worry about his game time if we sign an RB. He looks a really good player, and it's tough to see him getting games in CM ahead of Hackney and Armstrong, and neither of them are guaranteed starters.
Him and Garner sharing RB would sort of be ok from a squad development point of view, and with Norgaard we'd still have that stable DM at the base of midfield.
It'd be an absolute disgrace not signing an RB, but I also do want Rohl to play regularly and develop what looks like a really strong skillset.

Saar, Grealish, a RB and a LB and I reckon Brennan is going to be used as a second striker if Beto goes

If Moyes is vetoing all the RBs given to him by the recruitment team, then a strong leadership team would either fire him or buy the RB they think is the best option for the club.
And if Moyes doesn't play him, in favour of a midfielder or CB, fire him then. Don't let a manager with 12-months left on his contract dictate the health of the squad.
We have to have long term approach, the age profile of most of our signings suggests there is one, and everyone knows the manager to execute on this isn't Moyes. We're treading water until we move on from him.
Yeah, but I just hope we do tread water rather than slip under

We are totally overestimating Rohl at right back wait until we play someone with a top winger even this weekend against tavenier we played a poor palace and a shite Preston we need a rb have to get one and with aznou off we need a left back too

Wasn't sure on Munoz tbh anyway, he was torn apart by George last weekend and he's only played a handful of prem games. He's also 30 so age isn't exactly on his side. That said it's nuts we haven't got a right back, I don't know what's going on but let's hope we get one in before the deadline.

Would Johnson suit a Moyes system as a striker?
Not sure sure tbh, can't imagine he's even remotely comfortable or competent trying to head direct balls from deep whilst competing with big tall strong defenders.
George might be more likely as he's taller, stronger and has played there previously in his career.
Christian Nørgaard

Well I think he played his best football like that but who knows?

If Ndiaye goes I want a top young forward. If Grealish doesn’t join then I want TWO.
On what planet should we accept the same forward line as last year but swap Ndiaye and McNeil for Johnson?

Has a touch of the Andy Johnson's about him

Don't really need Sarr do we?
Only way it makes sense really is if both Alcaraz and Iroegbunam go and he comes in to make up the numbers.
Norgaard is done, need another DM

Amazing this club.
People making the decisions change but the output is always the same.
