well to be honest I stopped listening to such claims by managers a long time ago. Ferguson for example was once asked about the possibility of selling Ronaldo to Real and he basically answered that he wouldn't even sell a virus to Real. Nevertheless, Ronaldo moved to Real shortly after. I don't think we can believe everything the managers say. When Ferguson said that he had no intention of buying another player, we fans knew that actually a bid was imminent. There's a lot of smokescreen involved and the managers use the media to calm down fans and play down rumours. So to me, Moyes' comments aren't so relevant.
