Instead of focusing on volume Moyes needed to focus on smaller numbers and quality. The youth players would have been good enough as squad fillers.Tell me a manager who would have been happy to have £27M to spend and would have been able to buy 3-4 first team quality players, including a young, striker with the ability to score. On top of that, bring in a further 5 players to bulk out the squad. This summer was a shit storm because we had to do so much with so little. We can easily look back now and say we should have bought him, or paid less for him etc. Trouble is we lost a drawing factor to the club in the form of Allardyce. We struggle to sign quality because we aren't ambitious enough, we aren't ambitious enough because we can't afford to compete, we can't afford to compete because of shit decisions made over the past 6 years, shit decisions were made because we had the wrong people running the football club.
Allardyce bought well on a shoestring in the last window while in a dog fight. I understand Moyes didn't have that much time but he couldn't do the same.
