Moyes calling tune over Sullivan

David Moyes has made it clear again that he wants to “buy British” David Sulivan’s punts on South Americans and the like should become a thing of the past.

The Hammers boss has made it clear previously that he would far sooner bring in proven PL Brits in the current window and the foreign excursions now appear to be a thing of the past.

Speaking ahead of the Bournemouth game he said: “Somewhere along the line you have to say, ‘No, stop – we are not doing that, we are following the path we want to go on’.

He added:  “I want to bring in good players but I would also like to have a little bit of a model.

“Somewhere along the line you have to say ‘no, stop – we are not doing that, we are following the path we want to go on’.

“I’m the one that makes the decisions.

“You have got to look towards the future and I want to be positive but I am mindful that the trapdoor is not too far away.

Moyes determination to bring in more home grown players again acts as a reminder against much of the gossip generated in the foreign press of his interest in European stars.
