Hi All
Well it appears we have a great strip and a world class stadium just need the team.
Always a time of year for much speculation regarding ins and outs
Be serious for a moment if you are a player of a proven standard with ambiton when the likes of Everton, Leicester, Arsenal. Newcastle,
Bournemouth, etc and West Ham, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE, given the representatives you were dealing with
are very akin to Delboy Sullivan, Rodney Gold and Trigger Bilic.

I would like to think West Ham should be able to sell their selves better than all those bar Arsenal. Look at the stadium we have and the location. Like you say there is something not quite right behind closed doors. Early days yet though.


2.) 05 Jul 2017 14:18:45
I fought I was imagining things when I said Everton go after every player we are linked with no it's been confirmed by rumours about them putting in a 40million bid for JIMINEZ but on this occasion they are welcome to him because that's 30 million too much I truly believe we are solely concentrating on the INHEACHO deal and that only we are going to end up with a load of cast offs and loan deals.

I replied to Golds twitter about our new shirt.
I told him to get his finger out of his proverbial and take the club forward with some much needed investment in players or before he knows it. the West Ham fans will be wearing Millwall shirts.

Granted. I may have gone a bit far with the Millwall shirt but. 😂😂😂😂.

Hi Does anybody know what has happened to Alvaro Arbeloa he does not appear on injury list or the bench?

no, but has anyone else heard the good news? Carlton Cole is back in town training with the almighty hammers! hahaha.

It is all very well moaning about the quality of the new inatke but here must be a process that involves identifying the players skills and suitability to EPL and West Ham in particular. perhaps some of the credit/ blame should also question Tony Henry and his part in the process? Players can only perform to their best and coaches can only develop so much. The chairpeople would not recognise a good pro if they kicked them up the rear. Just look at the bad signings (yes Payet is brilliant) in recent seasons (zarate, maiga, henry, hendie, jelavic, emenike, jarvis, demel, song, amalfitano, johnson, diarra, razak, paulista etc plus the new crop of tore, zaza, valencia and the Lady even married an average player. It not just down to SB there is a clear pattern.

Wow, when you look at the rubbish we have bought its staggering and as you quite rightly point out, there is a pattern of rubbish which isn't down to SB. Half of this rubbish lot were bought well before SB took over so we can only point the finger in one direction.

Any thoughts on who's going to play this weekend against the pace of Long and Redmond (both who we could have had) . Maybe play Oxford in front of the CB's with Arbeloa and Byram out wide.


2.) 28 sep 2016 12:56:58
noble shouldnt just be rested he should be outed cash in on him why he's young enough obiang given a run in the team and we will see a decent no good giving him 15 minutes here and there play him for 10 games and see what hs about when we signed him he was in the top five tackles made and distance covered in italy give him a chance and f--k noble off . coyi.

Good news re Ayew fit for the bench in December time for a little match fitness then along with Kouyate Feghouli possibly Bony off to the African Nations Cup for most of January, perhaps AC will be fit for acouple of games. Obviously the management have planned for this?

a very negative but realistic assessment of the current playing staff bearing in mind that the season really starts on Thursday.
Out
Song, Emenike, Moses, Obrien, Jenkinson, Tomkins (£10m), Lee, Hendry (loan)
On the way out
Sakho (10m) , Valencia (10m), Randolph, Oxford? 15-20m)
Injured
Creswell Carroll (any minute)
Lanzini
add to this
Ogbonna, Collins and Payet who will be late getting up to match fitness
In
Nordveld (free), Ferghouli (Free),
Tore (Loan) Fletcher, Martinez, Quina
Possible
Calleri Loan if?

For an ambitious side this does not seem to be a very good plan, yes the transfer window is open for another six weeks by which time we could be out of europe and playing catch up in the league
With regard to Bacca, is this not a case of "we tried" (was this ever on) Loan fees in for out probably balance out potential transfer income £40m outgoing £2-3
100m in from tv we wn't need a parachute next season.
We need to look around at the building going on around the league
ManU Man City Spurs Chelsea Liverpool Palace not forgetting Leicester and Arsenal top 4 really.

we are still at the moment better than last year song emenike and moses were all garbage

I do agree we haven't improved as much as we should ave though but I will still wait till window closes be free if indeed I have to have a proper moan lol we got antonio on last day last year don't forget.

Played reasonably well at old trafford without much luck.
The fact remains this is it regarding the team of ageing creaking players, a minimum of18 games left with the need to keep all of them fit and on top form to have any chance of euro qualification
Phillips em, . one can now see why he was not selected at city playing foe englane rice made him look better than his transfer fee would suggest. we have a surprise apparently we need to replace michail . reducing the squad to cover philli
ps import was about as positive as can be
The club now have this built in three way tussle with regards to transfer policy or action which may contribute to the farce that was January
How long before the talents that remmain look to gain success in europe and maintain international status.
Who would have thought that BJ could play should this not have been DISCOVERED ON THE COACHING FIELD.

I feel i have to vent my anger at the way the team is developing after a good start. with all of the recent tv exposure I detect a certain amount of unrest which is hardly surprising when one of the highest paid players with a reputation based on two reasonable seasons at the top flight gets preference over younger players of potential.
lets face it the conference cup saved Moyes but his irrational behaviour would get him the sack as a supermarket manager let alone a multimillion business

How can you pay zouma more than the likes of Rice Soucek Fornals Antonio Coufal Ogbonna etc etc, That can't / must not happen if harmony is to be maintained.
I do hope that the offer for De Jong is a free transfer and a pay per play fee.
It would appear that the media are being encouraged (rewarded) for continually promoting Rice as unhappy but still a team player for the next 3 seasons.

hammered

1.) 23 Aug 2021 14:48:24
A lot of media talk all summer, I wouldn't pay it much attention until we actually see someone in the shirt, De Jong definatly won't come on a pay as you play contract to be back up to antonio. not even sure those contracts are actually a thing anyway.


2.) 23 Aug 2021 15:12:38
I agree with your comments regarding Zouma. The last thing we need is the harmony of the squad destroying. The thing regarding Rice is his team of advisers working behind the scenes. Most of what we read and hear is spin from his advisers. Weather Rice agrees with them or not he has 3 more years to run on his contract. He should remember who resurrected his carrier when Chelsea kicked him out. As for De Jong, I did not think much of him in the Euros, slow and for his size poor in the air. We should have taken a chance on Armstrong from Blackburn, a fox in the box but as usual we missed out. Will we actually sign anybody of note of just more has beens.


3.) 23 Aug 2021 17:04:38
Loyalty doesn’t seem to exist anymore, we all know that top players especially are bounty hunters! I would let Rice go next season if the rumours are true that he wants out?
They make their own success by being top class, what’s the point in trying to hang onto an unsettled player, would you want to hang onto a Spouse or partner if they wanted away?
Their heads are turned when they are tapped up by other clubs players, let him be a Fish in a bigger pool as opposed to a big Fish in a smaller pool if that’s what he wants? WH will still be here when he goes! ⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒.


4.) 24 Aug 2021 07:42:38
Rice has not looked like a man who wants to leave at all in first 2 games, agents are the problem these days they don't care what thier clients want they just want a massive cut of ant transfer fee, great performance last night if we can add to squad before deadline we can have a really good season, Moyes has done an unbelievable job in turning a decent group of players into a really good team.


 

 

20 Aug 2021 15:10:41
it doea look like they are hanging on (a prayer) for lingard. If there is anything left from what appears to be a zero war chest perhaps a loan or free could be arranged for the needed
Defender (s) striker (s) . De Jong Braithwate Hause and so on down. ON reflection Cahill would have been a good short term signing.

hammered

1.) 20 Aug 2021 15:32:33
Lingard done brillantly for use but not sure i want him back now
I see him stopping benni getting in the team like last season
So why buy players that will stop other progressing
Give benni a chance i reakon he'll be better than lingard.


2.) 20 Aug 2021 16:24:50
Predicting the future form of a player MO is almost impossible, so many unforeseen’s could happen, but I see your point👍I like you and many others possibly was a bit p——d off that Lingard showed no signs of wanting to return to us after being so successful with his loan when he was cast to one side at ManU, but then there may have been valid reasons for them discarding him that we know nothing of?
At the moment I see none of our attacking players that Lingard could or should replace, Antonio, Bowen, Benni, Fornals, would like to see Fornals start to score goals though, but it’s about rotation and covering for injuries as well? ⚒⚒⚒⚒.


3.) 21 Aug 2021 08:59:43
Yes, I’m less concerned about another AM, after all we still have Lanzini and Yarmo on the books as cover and to rotate.

We have Ogbonna, Diop and Dawson available and with Baptiste coming through as a contender for a CB spot, the major issue for me is cover/ competition for Antonio. We know his hammies won’t stand up to a whole season without time off.

We’ve been “linked” with bucketloads of strikers this window, many of whom were just rumours touted by the media, but I have confidence that Moyse will pick up a decent one before the window closes.


4.) 21 Aug 2021 16:04:20
We desperately need to now Marko even more so that Antonio has been accepted to play for Jamaica, both he and WH will have even more problems with cover for him! âš’âš’âš’âš’âš’.

With current CH situation ; how can we justify Winston Reid being out on loan? Recall now. Agree with others here we are actually leaking players - not getting in quality newbies.


2.) 14 Aug 2021 14:38:05
Alves now sent out on loan to the Mackems! One couldn't make it up. I have tried being calm and philosophical but Hammers guvnors see to have aqdopted a totally ludicrous, nay lunatic, narrative!

the 3-5-2 immediately became a 5-3-2 which gave city total control from back to front alllowing them to play a comfortable game into our box the goals had to come, if we are honest it was looking like and could have been 6-7.
The change in formation balanced the second half, CONGRATULATIONS to Antonio on our leading goalscorers call up but does Sam need 3 right backs?
Positives Cresswell will not find it easy to regain his place, the only position in the team that has real premier class selection problems. Byram is growing in confidence.
We seem to still suffer from selective big team referee vision (would not have made difference to us but will ironically help ManU) . Why sell Obiang when we retain Valencia and even worse Tore this level of football has no room for old pals act.

What is happening with Sakho, obviously we are not going to sell him, when will he be fit?
Sakho has been allowed to dictate to the club, does he not have a contract that identifies his contribution with penalties for non compliance?

lanzini and payet great going forward but very poor defensively, can't really play both unless chasing the game which looks like it will be most of the season, Can Tore not be sent back now? Oxford may have to play in fron of back four. Perhaps a 4 4 2 may be used to staedy the ship
Arbeloa Reid Ogbonna Musuaka
