Yakubu must have been on huge wages, or surely we could offer him what Blackburn are offering him, and his fee was disappointingly low, which strikes me that there must be clauses.
Arteta has been a liability for some time, both with financial resources and poor performances, so I'm quite happy for him to leave.
Duffy on loan for a month will be good for the lad, and it wouldn't surprise me if we lose Jags in January.
Beckford leaving has gobsmacked me. There has to have been arguments for this to happen, and it will no doubt come out. Can't understand that one.
Don't know much about any players coming in, other than there is now huge pressure on the new striker to deliver.
I trust Moyes though, so will gladly look to find positives as the various news comes in.
