on May 25, 2025, 8:25 pm, in reply to "one saving grace is that Moyes has had a few months"
Although from his news conferences in the past he has mentioned “experience” quite a few times.
Suspect Keane, DCL and Gana have all been offered contracts of varying lengths and conditions. I also suspect they are seeing what else is available too. Wouldn’t be too surprised to see them all still here in August.
Doucoure probably has been offered a new deal- but he has publicly said he’s off.
I do feel at ease that Moyes is here and a few interesting signings will be made.
Fingers crossed and happy times ahead - well done to all the blues that were there today

to bed in and assess the squad, and we're not relying on a director of football we don't have. Previous Message
We need at least one backup/competition for Pickford.
We only have Patterson at RB and Myko at LB. Although O'Brien can fill in, leaving us only 2 centre halves if Keane goes.
So we need to fill at least 2 of 3 positions - RB, LB and CB.
Midfield - do we need another option or are Iroegbunam and Armstrong first team ready? Am assuming Gana stays.....otherwise...gulp.
Alcaraz must be signed.
We surely need to replace Doucoure too? And Harrison.
Then if DCL goes, along with Broja we are left with Beto plus Chermiti who probably needs a loan.
So at least one striker depending on DCL.
So I make that 8-10 players needed.
Who is in charge of transfers since Thelwell left? Has groundwork been done on all these positions?
And can we even spend before 1/7 due to PSR? Do we need to sell someone before that date? When does Alcaraz clause expire?
