The whole summer recruitment made no sense.

Made no sense... yet.

Look I'm not saying it's been a roaring success but also this is what we all demanded so not sure why everyone's so shocked the youth we bought needs time to develop.

Summer transfer window was always a rock and hard place because the younger players who'd improve us now understandably didn't want to come here, and we didn't want yet more journeymen with no sell on value and crippling wages.

Theres plenty of players with sell on value who can make instant impact who sign for lesser teams. The problem is our god awful scouting. We overpaid for 2 players who can do next to nothing to impact us now and look far from long term sure things too.

Other teams actually make signings that are successful short term and long term. Its an incredible each to assume they'll be longterm successes anyway because we've no form for getting anything right

Let’s remember Dibling’s already had a full season in the PL (33 appearance, 2 goals), why is he now suddenly not ready to play and needs 6 months to get settled??

It's Moyes' way right?

He doesn't always do this, but when he does, it's when he has expectations related to work rate from an exciting attacking player that they aren't meeting.

I'm sure Kudus spent absolutely ages on the bench at spurs before he was starting regularly.

There is never a scenario where sitting on the bench for ages is whats best for your 40 million pound summer marquee signing though. It might be the right call by Moyes as you say, but we surely didn't sign him to sit out the season.

Agreed, we should be seeing more of him from the bench at the very least.

A Saints fan said to me he won’t start for Everton because Moyes won’t want him, as he can’t track back yet. Looks to be the case!
