Exclusive: Moyes DID turn down players in January
Moyes rejected January transfers
West Ham manager David Moyes’s decision to navigate a Premier League and European campaign with a small and aging squad has backfired spectacularly.
During the build-up to yesterdays Crystal Palace defeat, the Hammers manager told reporters, “I prefer working with a small squad.” However, it has become abundantly clear that his team are incapable of sustaining effort for 90 minutes due to the huge workload demanded of them.

Therefore, Claret & Hugh sought some clarification on the manager’s decision to work with a small group, and whether the rumours that Moyes rejected the chance to have a bigger squad were true. Speaking exclusively to C&H, our top source at the club said, “He only wanted Phillips. We couldn’t force players on him that he didn’t want.”
And that pretty much sums it up. It would appear that Moyes will be damned by his own judgment call—a decision which has proven to be spectacularly the wrong one.
