Fine as long as we improve on him.
More than capable back up.

Because otherwise you waste £15m+ and 50k a week wages signing a backup which takes that money away from what we can spend on a good first choice LB.Bob Sacamano wrote: ↑Sat Dec 27, 2025 4:57 pm I’d boot him out tonight given the opportunity. What’s the point in having him wasting 50k a week stopping us actually employing a 1st choice LB.
I dont know how we can be remotely confident we won't see them next season. If Id told you JOB was gonna be the starting right back this season and our left back cover wouldn't be deemed good enough to play a single minute (might be wrong but it feels like he hasn't played at all in the league) everyone would have said i were crazy. We cant have any faith that they'll address our problems when they didnt even attempt last timeAjaxAndy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 27, 2025 6:06 pm Having a bad season, think missing the start of it has set him back from being below average to now a liability.
Always been a good one on one defender but that's gone which renders him pretty useless. Always been poor going forward but at least the defensive side was pretty decent. Just shows the poor long term planning that out full back options on both sides are so limited.
Thankfully Moyes is a full back kind of guy, so I doubt very much we'll be seeing either JOB or Mykolenko starting games regularly next season.
Didn't have the money to do so, Moyes stated many times we needed more goals and given our lack of options with Doucoure, DCL, Harrison and Lindstrom all leaving we were always going to prioritise those positions.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Sat Dec 27, 2025 6:22 pm I dont know how we can be remotely confident we won't see them next season.

We needed more goals but you look at our squad and you do that with attacking fullbacks and pace throughout the team. Did we address more goals? Arent we third lowest scorers or somethingAjaxAndy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 27, 2025 6:41 pm Didn't have the money to do so, Moyes stated many times we needed more goals and given our lack of options with Doucoure, DCL, Harrison and Lindstrom all leaving we were always going to prioritise those positions.
Didn't attempt to last time doesn't equal to never bothering. Moyes built his team last time here on Baines and Coleman, he's not stupid, we'll address those positions in the summer.
No we didn't, but also buying 2 full backs and no wingers, striker or attacking midfielders would have also seen us struggling to score. We didn't have the money to address all issues so it will take multiple windows.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Sat Dec 27, 2025 6:55 pm We needed more goals but you look at our squad and you do that with attacking fullbacks and pace throughout the team.
