  • I've got a novel idea, maybe the Moyesiah could persuade the under-performing big money signings to start playing to the potential that we all know they have. =)

    This.

    Rebalance before rehauling. Get others performing. He's shown they have competition.

    True to some extent. But there are areas that definitely need strengthening; LB and CB in particular. I know I've given him some stick, but Cresswell has long since peaked and I can't see the best manager in the world improving him, let alone Moyes.
    Oh I agree about making a few changes. LB is definitely one. For me, a striker is the other priority, unless Antonio is 100% going to be a striker.

    I just think really targeting those signings is better than making too many changes, not that we shouldn't make changes. I think Anderson still might be able to do something. It's interesting that when you consider key passes, Anderson has been far more involved in creating chances than assists suggest. To me, that's because he likes to cut in and then either do something himself or reverse it to an overlapping full-back or another player who's pulled onto the edge of the box. He's very good at that but part of his bad form is not having the players giving him the right support. A better LB might do that. I'm not saying his bad form isn't also his fault but I think things can be worked on and I'm not sure what assurances we're going to get from other players, especially when we might have to take a big loss on his fee.

  • WHU Champo ;ok.

    Plus, wage bill ... FFP cap....

    Doing it that way is, I agree, hardly the behaviour of a well run club with sound financial management.

    I wonder if the auditors would accept it, too.
  • None of you are in financial world of West Ham ?
    Nearly all you have been wrong this season especially at the start.

    Never said I was happy with 38.
  • On the "West Ham Way" podcast Ex reckons we could go after Callum Wilson if Bournemouth are relegated. 41 goals in 125 Premier League appearances (108 starts)
  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • ASLEF, Is he young and hungry enough for us? High transfer fee and he would have to stand outside the London Stadium & apologise for cheating us the other season. No.
  • edited July 2020
    Is "young and hungry" important? Jamie Vardy is 33.

    The Express reckon Newcastle will offer £20m for Wilson if Bournemouth are relegated
  • edited July 2020
    Think he would work well off Haller

    With Antonio bulldozing down the flanks again
  • ASLEF, I was just using the statement about David Moyes wanting to sign young and hungry players who want to prove themselves. We could have had Vardy if we had been willing to pay his transfer fee.
  • edited July 2020
    I think Vardy proves that youth isn't everything and I think Noble's continued appearances proves that Mr Moyes doesn't believe it is either

    For myself Callum Wilson would be a "meh" signing.
  • Moyes didn't say youth is everything.
  • Wouldnt say no to Wilson

    He seems to have put his injury problems behind him, 31 starting appearances this season and 29 last

    He has got 8 goals in an underperforming Bournemouth which is ok, but 14 goals and 9 assists last year which is very impressive

    Obviously the deal needs to be right, as he will still cost a lot (and there ar more pressing positions), but I think he'd be a good signing

    Think it's unlikely though
  • If you are going to take anyone from Bournemouth it has to be King. But I wouldn't take him either.
  • Big No to Wilson the guy is injury prone as hell.
  • Adam Lallana joining Brighton on a 3-year deal.
  • Would've been a classic West Ham signing

    Talented player who has been injury plagued and is already 32 and probably on big wages (so Jack Wilshere but 4 years older)

    Seems injury prone
  • Has Ryan Fraser signed with anyone?
  • Don't think so. As soon as he announced he was running down his contract his form dipped and he lost his place in the Bournemouth team.
  • Fraser is supposed to want to join Spurs.
  • Fraser is supposed to want to join Spurs.

    IMO he is more than welcome to...
  • Arsenal, West Ham and Everton are all interested in signing Barcelona's France World Cup-winning defender Samuel Umtiti, 26, on loan. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish)

    That seems rather unlikely. Isn’t he on like £200k a week?
