If Liverpool didn’t have Trent and Robertson they wouldn’t be as good as they are… it’s the modern game… it’s moved on.
Get a good LB and unlock Benrahma. would love to see more freedom for our attackers.
We're not prepared to pay the money for any of them
i reckon if we cannot get the more expensive targets, we should go for charlie taylor, maybe jamal lewis as looks like he's out of favour; would still like rico henry because i've actually seen him play but we'd probably get priced out.
also longelo should be ahead of masuaku – hell, stuart pearce should have been ahead of masuaku
Thank god. Its over. Now lets move on. COYIs
I can understand HC's affection for Cressie,but if your serious about what we can achieve next season….GET RID…NOW! COYI⚒️
Well it's official. Lingard can now count his cash while battling relegation with Forest, what a lack of ambition. At least we can now forget about him and hopefully Moysey will learn not to get fixated on certain players, and wasting windows.
Raum would be the big ticket marquee signing and on a 4/5 year deal makes sense.
My preference however would be Cornet – under 20 mil, did an amazing job for Burnley last season and was their best player by miles IMO.
Great going forward and is quick, can cross, pass and actually shoot as well.
I saw claims we were interested in him, EX even mentioned it along with a couple of other Burnley players.
Think we’ve dropped the ball personally again like with Bissouma. Two young PL proven players for under 50 million…
A week ago I had a lot off optimism this week i can see the same 11 who started against Brighton will be starting against Man City
Gold and sullivan are the problem the money is just not there 12 years of these pricks
Cress needs the bench. Cost us Europa League last season and has been dreadful in attack post-injury !
Can we get three? Play one at leftback, one at left wing and one up front?!?!
Moyes is sodding USELESS in identifying and signing enough players, evidently!! May as well!!!
Did not want lingard he faded as the season went on when he was with us. Just get lb st alm
Don't share your optimism Geo. This is west ham. I not so sure we will get a striker now. Monday you was confident broja was coming in. I said I am not so sure. I get the impression now that many of the supporters are getting restless and anxious. Same old story we are linked to everyone but nothing. How long have had to get a striker? Only 2 years or more. 58 years being a west ham supporter. Nothing changes. We are promised signings, now moyes says it's a frustrating window. Only for west ham. I wouldn't be surprised if we start the season again without a recognized striker. That includes Antonio.
Respect ur views on Cresswell Geo m8 but in my eyes he's cooked now. He'll just be targeted even as a back up. Any bit of pace and it's a nightmare for Cressy. No sentiment bro, he's gotta go ⚒️
Isn't there a free agent that we can sign ,or maybe a loan deal?
What about Luke Shaw? Like him a lot and think that he would fit in well
Can we just get a left back who can defend well
Wont sign anyone mate
Looked at the West Ham website, I weigh 2 Jarrod Bowens, so therefore I am worth £80m at least
David Moyes must know ,,well he does know, that we need or needed a new left back for a year or so ,-with,,Sullivan’s ,,,Monetary and negotiating teams , he’s had no chance of getting anybody
Cresswell was poor againstt Rangers. He was at fault for the Ipswich goal last week too. He should not be our 1st choice and ONLY left back
Slippery eels got their fingerprints all over transfers. Every other premiership club standing quiet just going on with job of signing players.
Why is moyes going to start fabianski as our number one keeper against man City?
Gutted we didn’t go in for Bassey. £20.7m is a bargain for him.
Where the fuck is boja
At least the Lingard saga is finally over … forest can have him
Why are these targets not sorted the whole west ham army know we need,striker, lwb,cm.for starters.why are we pathetic at planning and executing.
Same ol story.😒
Raum, but can't see it happening.
Raum going to Leipzig now
Cresswell is also pretty handy as a left sided CB so it's not like he would pushed completely out of the team if we bought a LB.
I’m actually looking forward to the new season and new squad. Think more could have been achieved in Europe last season.
Unfortunately we cannot attract players imo from any league on par or above the championship. And certainly not without stupidity or consequences
I hate to suggest it, because Moyes has proven himself a top half/ mid table premier League manager. Yet he doesn't seem to have the attraction. That factor that makes players want to come play under him.
However I'm still not convinced it's not players laughing at our owners and saying, "yeah not on your life" but even then we're not buying OAPs looking for an injury claim
David raum off to Leipzig….God's sake are we gonna stick with Creswell?🤬😡
Cresswell is a liability every game or many more games than he is dominant at the very least, defensively he gets targeted and it has been costly, its been happening for a while, i suggest we need 2 LBs in front of cresswell. sell masuaka and cresswell if at all poss, because failure to do this will cost us again this season.
Totally agree that we need a LB that can come in and bench cresswell. He is a liability now and very much our weak point. Moyes needs to stop thinking he can play square pegs in these positions.
He is kind of ruining some players potential by doing this. Fornals would play in goal if you asked him as he is a genuine team player but he is deployed LW to cover cresswell when he is clearly a CM. Johnson is another that will play wherever asked. Last season we also played Fredricks,Masuaku and Coufal at Lb at some point yet we had Longelo not able to get a look in? Moyes must get players for a specific position first and foremost. If they can also play in a second position – great – but prioritize.
And Moyes isnt this magician that can transform a rb into a lb, that is mostly down to the player being able to do that.
Damn, sorry for the rant but moyes needs to wake up
Our first game is against Man City and we all know what they will do to us. So we shall start the season with negative goal diff and then get turned over by forest so here we go again back to the pressure of fighting relegation. Sorry to be negative but if we are all honest we have been poor and inconsistent all 2022, apart from one or two games, but the majority of games we have lacked something.
Raum going Rb Leipzig
This week started off so good with
All the bids and rumours and now it’s kinda gone to shit
Are we signing Kurt Cobain? (2nd from left on thumbnail)
We're really getting desperate now, signing dead people
I'd be ok with Kostic coming in but not as a left back. Rather have Johnson at left back as he's sound defensively with Kostic playing LW. He'd also be a good option at LWB when we play 3 at the back.
Raum every day.
I have gone back to the "wtf is going on mode" ….
Still no striker still no left back …
Am worried again….
As of today, it looks like Kodtic is coming in and he was CLASS for Frankfurt. He was one of their 3 jest players in their Europa league winning squad
Sosa is quite good as wingback but awful in defence, if West Ham want to play with three behind then possibly, otherwise I am not sure.
Where's Ashby ?
Not featured this week
Don’t see us signing two more players this window, becoming a joke
Yep, sorry to say Cresswell has had his day, hes been great for us, but now is the time to move over. We need a new first choice left back
I'd rather Raum or Sosa than Kostic if you're talking about a conventional left back.
