Why? If you need 3points you play your best player until there is a 100% deal closeSurely staying, you wouldnt risk an injury if he was to be sold.
Kovacic tooStones can play as a DM and would be a very reliable option.
I'm sure he has the green light from WH's management as he would never make that type of decision on his own...Big chance Moyes taking playing him with such a potential huge fee?

ThankyouI would see no reason we couldn't end up with a Paqueta for Gundo/SIlva and Wirtz for KDB eventually when replacing the 'aging' players in squad evolution tbh. Dont think its an either or 100%
(Im not counting Foden this as he's 22 and doesn't need replacing just in the lose one, get one)
Unfortunately Kev looks like he needs careful managing now and also an heir apparent.
I have to regretfully agree. Unless they are complete idiots...Surely staying, you wouldnt risk an injury if he was to be sold.

Nah, this is Moyes' approach. He always does this. He is of the mind not to allow anyone to think the board or other clubs are overruling his authority on team issues.I have to regretfully agree. Unless they are complete idiots...
That's not how it works. If he suffers a serious injury you've lost the player and a potential huge fee. If the matter is unresolved, he sits, simple as...Why? If you need 3points you play your best player until there is a 100% deal close
The board does, however, hold authority over him. It's not his choice...Nah, this is Moyes' approach. He always does this. He is of the mind not to allow anyone to think the board or other clubs are overruling his authority on team issues.

I would agree, if the club actually wanted to sell him. But it seems more like they are reluctantly agreeing to selling him and from their point of view it would not exactly be the worst thing if he ended up staying. On the contrary, thats probably what they would prefer.That's not how it works. If he suffers a serious injury you've lost the player and a potential huge fee.

Didn't he do the same when we were chasing Lescott at Everton? Subsequently, Lescott had a stinker as they lost 1-6 to Arsenal.Nah, this is Moyes' approach. He always does this. He is of the mind not to allow anyone to think the board or other clubs are overruling his authority on team issues.

That's the argument. Moyes plays them to make a point about his authority on picking the team. He knows full well it's being watched. That's the kind of guy he is and that's his approach.That's not how it works. If he suffers a serious injury you've lost the player and a potential huge fee. If the matter is unresolved, he sits, simple as...
In what way? Where is it written? They won't exercise it because that could be a huge problem.The board does, however, hold authority over him. It's not his choice...
The chances of a serious injury are low and the club has various forms of insurance. Moyes knows his authority matters and considers it a professional judgement - the club benefits from the player turning out. Or the board can pick a fight. They won't, they will trust Moyes. He's sold a lot of players to bigger clubs down the years.

Exactly. He will have told the board that. Past precedent usually wins out. The precedent is, the club got it done, they got top dollar, and the fans looked at us as the enemy, rather than the board or management.Didn't he do the same when we were chasing Lescott at Everton? Subsequently, Lescott had a stinker as they lost 1-6 to Arsenal.
