Moyes has had it right since Day One of second coming

So we are still dreaming and with the lack lustre Spuds on their way on Sunday we have every right to carry on believing.

Yes, of course there will be those who feel what we are seeing is all too good to believe but if we go back to the very start of the manager’s second coming we can see that the success story started almost immediately.

And that should give us confidence to believe that we can expect more of the same over the remainder of the season.

Ok, I’m as aware as everybody else of fortune having been in hiding for too long  but let’s just look at the Moyes reign from the and start and tick off some boxes.

Jarrod Bowen for just over £20 million was the first signing and has shown himself to be the most adaptable of players producing a fine performance up front last night.

Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal have been extraordinary and Declan Rice quite amazing – these four have cost the club just under £50 million.

After a dodgy start the results speak for themselves and now we see two unlikely loanees in the minds of many – Craig Dawson and the mesmerising Jesse Lingard – bringing a whole new concept to the way West Ham play their football.

Rio Ferdinand explained last night that Moyes’ extraordinary job at West Ham is matched only by his memory, recalling that Jesse was the best player on tour when he had been manger at United and Rio a first team member.

Last night and at Villa the 28 year old showed he is finding a new home at the London Stadium and is a must buy player in the summer.

We all need to now keep our gobs zipped when discussing Moyes and perhaps, given the brilliant buys bought so cheaply, forget  for now, expressions such as “investment ambition” and “net spend.”

Spending fortunes under managers who don’t get the right players is part of our past – the new way is trusting a manager who gets precisely the right guys at proper prices.

Let’s enjoy it and stop using the so called lack of investment as a reason for a moan-up.

Frankly, I’m loving what’s happening – what’s not to like?

From where we were to where we are is miraculous and goes against all the so called wisdom – football can still surprise!
