MOYES WILL BE MOYES
Since Tim Steidten’s appointment as West Ham technical director in early July, reports have abounded that he and David Moyes do not see eye to eye. The 44-year-old German arrived with a fine reputation for unearthing unpolished gems at Werder Bremen and then Leverkusen, with fans being told he would “be responsible for the club’s overarching player recruitment strategy and scouting department, working closely with [Moyes] and sporting director Mark Noble”. With £105m of Declan Rice money scorching a hole in the club coffers, it was important their windfall was invested wisely.
