    Too much to do. Need a whole sale clear out which will only come when we are relegated and all these useless players we brought for big money's relegation clauses kick in.

    Or a Captain who is energized himself.

    If we can’t sign any players, can we sign Sean Dyche instead? Moyes is out of his depth and will take us the way of Sunderland. If you can’t get performances out of all of Lanzini, Yarmo and Anderson and have Diop regressing, it can’t all be done to the players. He only got us to 36 points last season, so hardly a messiah at all.

    Hang on! I thought it was all down to selling Diangana.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    The Diang sale has IMO sapped any morsel of positivity that might have existed in the squad at the end of last season (although arguably finishing on 36 points after the expensive outlays is hardly joyous). Moyes is not capable of working through this and quickly bringing some steel and motivation to the rest of the squad. He is a dinosaur with a recent record chequered in failure. He is not up to it. Sadly though, GSB are also utter failures when it comes to club ownership. So they are perfectly matched to each other which doesn’t bode well for the most important party in this - West Ham United FC

    Unless it was a money thing any player in their right mind would surely think twice about joining a club like ours, poorly run, players openly slating decisions being made and in general ( or as I see it ) many disgruntled fans, not the kind of place you at the moment you wanna call home...This is all IMO!

    If I was Declan Rice I would be in the managers office first thing with my transfer request. I wouldn’t blame him and would wish him all the best. There will be no real investment again and the owners are clearly just hoping the club ticks over until somebody finally offers them something for it. For Declan the thought of having to play another season with players like Noble . Instead of playing with players that Chelsea have must be painful.
    Do what is right for you Declan this club is a graveyard for players and has been for a while. Nothing will change until we get owners who really have a desire to make things better. It is a lie to say there is no money at this club and Sullivan and Gold are very rich men. However they care about money much more than the club or fans.

    I think a tough decision needs to be made.

    With Declan Rice, we finished 16th.

    We need too many players, & probably around £80m...
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    I don’t see us spending it well
  • HuttonhammerHuttonhammer
    It is not a tough decision. Even with Rice this squad has not got enough to stay up this season. We need 4 or 5 players . Also no decent player would come to us . Anyone can see that this club is fundamentally run poorly from the top down. To change this club it needs new blood with a real passion for change to improve things. As far as I can see it is just drifting along from one iceberg to the next until it finally sinks with Gold Sullivan and Brady at the helm.

    All the above I agree with, but the players are under contract and paid fortunes to perform to the best of their abilities and if they're not doing so then it's inexcusable.
    It's the first game of the season, they lost - so what, there's definitely no reason for heads to drop.
    With the obvious exceptions, that team possesses enough ability to perform far better than they did yesterday - it's up to the coaches and the players to pull their collective finger out and start doing so.
    What do they do on the training pitch that they perform so poorly in a match?

    Diang is gone - get over it. It's like someone said on here yesterday, imagine a company failing because an apprentice had left.

    Onward and upward - COYI.

    Now I must remember to renew my happy-pills prescription. =)
  • HuttonhammerHuttonhammer
    Diangana has gone . Why should anyone get over it. To the players that would be a massive sign that the club is going nowhere. I would think like most of us fans the players were excited to see how good he could be. What have we been left with? It is like at work if you have a good member of staff you keep them and let the poor ones go . We let Diangana go and start the likes of Noble yet again . The club will never move forward with such backward thinking.

    It’s not only the transfers we are a disaster at. It is the medical/fitness side too.

    Bruce is now getting consistent output from AC where we failed over 6 years

    Just watch and see how Wilson settles at Newcastle

    Look what Southampton are doing with Danny Ings

    No doubt Lallana will do some good for Brighton.

    We take any player like that and it is always a disaster for us.

    And it is beyond thinking it is luck

    We are rotten to the core from top to toe at the club.

    The players are professionals, they need to act like it

    Yesterday was awful, truly shambolic

    But we've played 1 game, the players can and will do better than what we showed yesterday

    This season, I'd be happy to just get 16th, which I think we will do

    Let's see how much Chelsea value the youngsters now that they can spend the ruski billions again.

    If he goes then I hope it's on the club's terms. Worse case is we're near the bottom and desperate for signings in the winter window and he goes on the cheap to get money in

    How he was on loan?

    Ok panic time

    Tomiyasu - £18mil
    Rico Henry - £12mil
    Brewster - Loan

    Improves RB/LB/CB and up front, also the wings as allows Antonio to play off the left which we are now weak

    One can dream

    WHU, I am sorry but I find it very sad that we should feel happy to finish 16th.

    Well, I'm not sure I'd agree with this statement.

  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Eze was really lively for Palace - looks the real deal
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Whilst I appreciate this will be scrutinised for facts but have GSB seen how much Aston Villa have spent so far this window more than we did last summer with another 3 new recruits likely? They simple don't appear to have the money or desire to be able to fund the players we need to reach the levels they said we would when giving us a reason for the move from Upton Park.

    Villa got £90mil minimum boost to their finances for last year for playing in the Prem and will get another £90+mil this year....money they weren't getting in the championship
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    WHU, so is that amount exclusive to Aston Villa then? They spent the second highest amount of £144.5 million, if my facts are right, in the summer of 2019 when they had just been promoted. We spent £78 million over the same window.
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Whoever we sign better loads of pace. Fredericks, Diop and Antonio can’t be the only ones on the pitch capable of sprinting .

    This is looking like Howe by Christmas, on a win or bust mission.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Kuchinghammer, there is only one man who could dig us out of the hole being constructed. He managed England briefly now what's his name?

    Don't panic, we climbed up a place after last nights matches.
