Moyes insists he makes decisions on signings

David Moyes has made it clear that the board has told him final decisions on player signings will be his alone.

And he quipped: “I am just finding out a little about West Ham, we must have been linked with about 15 players in this window by all accounts.”

However, he is as clear now as he was a few weeks ago  when insisting there were no guarantees  on new arrivals.

He said: “Look, we have made it that if we can bring in one or two reinforcements to the team then we will do so.

“I think every manager will say the same, it’s not a particularly good or easy time to do business and it’s always an expensive month in the year. We will try to do it but there is no guarantee.”

And whilst he admitted that on signings  “nobody wants the final say at the club it was always the manager who takes it”is the one that always takes it.”

He added: “If you bring the players in then you will be the one judged by them. If I wasn’t the one bringing them in, I wouldn’t have come to the club the first place because I want to be judged by my team and the players I bring in and I have not known anything different.

The owners have always told me it will be my decision.”
