Heard Graham Hunter on the radio saying:
A) Koke is excellent.
B) He's not leaving.
C) He doesn't think Moyes was there to see Koke. He seemed to be basing that off the identity of the scout that was with him (or something like that).
D) Moyes isn't going to sign someone he hasn't thoroughly checked out and it's more likely that he's preparing for the summer window.
E) It's unlikely that we're going to make any big signings in January unless someone who's way too good to turn down becomes available.

Yeah, but Graham Hunter doesn't know his arse from his elbow. He claims we matched Madrid's bid for Bale.
Yes but we should allow the player the opportunity to play in this competition and give himself the best possible chance to be involved in Brazil. If he is stupid enough to leave in January (which he obviously won't) I would gladly take him
but it still has no logic at all.That's why it makes no sense at all. There is no logical reason for him to join us in January.
Agreed but I don't think it's so much to do with competing (obviously a factor but I think we will be fine long term). In my opinion, this is all about the short term. He is playing well in a team doing well in both the league and in Europe, both he and the club won't want to change that. And I really don't see the point in spending big money in January and not getting full use out of the player straight away. Might as well let him develop as a player, see how he performs on the big stage, don't piss Atletico off and ask for the same price in the off season.
Yes. But CL is a different ball game altogether. The knockouts start in Feb, and a lot can change in these three months. Not to forget, once the games start piling up for them, and fatigue kicks in, their level will drop.
I think the club will be on any business before the World Cup, like they did with Hernandez, well I hope they will be. Could you imagine what his price would have done after the World Cup.
