Aguerd wants to leave West Ham | Moroccan defender switches agent to seal summer transfer

F78K Moyes! He needs to announce leaving now! If Moyes stays/signs a new contract – I’m not watching any games after this season! Don’t need the stress and boredom. Far too many things to do than watch Moyes turgid football

West Ham were very understanding when Declan Rice wanted to play for Ireland"

I don’t blame any West Ham player who wants to leave to play football.😩⚒

He won’t be the last if Moyes gets a new contract. McGuire will be on his way in the summer and any defensive midfielders Moyes can cram into our midfield 🤷🏻

every new agent does this its how they make their money

Unfortunately class defenders don’t tend to look good in this system.

Don’t blame him. He’s a decent CH but not in the 💩 system Moyes insists on playing
He’s ruined at least 3 of the current team

Bye

Another Moyes signing and another inevitable big cash loss. I'm not sure there's a more wasteful manager out there than Moyes. Get him out FFS.

Can people not see that Moyes is either driving players away or absolutely ruining them?

My only issue with all the Moroccan stuff with Aguerd is you have a parallel example with Kudus. Can’t convince me he isn’t as proud or committed to his national side, yet one of them still turned it up for West Ham, the other didn’t. Don’t blame him for wanting to leave Moyes though, but we don’t know if he’s even gonna be here or not

Hi Geo and Gonzo, Nayef Aguerd.. I’m going to do the same thing I did on JWP on one of West Ham Networks videos (Basically share my thoughts on the duration of his time there) – It’s not that difficult as he’s only been here around 18 months, and during that time he has had an injury and represented his country in two major tournaments, so his time in a West Ham shirt hasn’t actually been that long.

When Aguerd joined, I was happy with the signing as I think it was apparent we needed a left footed centre back because our level really dropped when we lost Ogbonna to injury. I feel the drop off was so apparent (when Ogbonna got injured) because since day 1 under Moyes, we have always been a team HEAVILY reliant on fast transitions, and a left-footed CB allowed us to play pretty much percentage passes forward as soon as the ball was regained – slightly off-topic, but we have very rarely played a massively successful possession-based game under Moyes, but to reiterate my point, I was happy when Aguerd joined.

As soon as Aguerd arrived he was hit with a pretty bad injury; in a new country, for a new side. He seemed to have worked extremely hard on his rehab and kept a good mentality. I know he went to spend time with the Morrocco National set up to help him with his rehab which I think is fair given he spent a fair amount of time doing it at the club. He clearly has a very high opinion of his national manager; I see a video of him paying his manager huge praise, despite being at Rush Green. You would have thought he would be more focused on the West Ham side of things, though he didn’t seem to mention Moyes once. He clearly doesn't rate Moyes much in my opinion, and to be honest, I don’t blame him. I think he has seen through him during this whole transition and how rigid and just generally not very adaptable he really is (just to put it in perspective, people are very pro-Moyes (the very few left), people will say Moyes has done a fantastic job because of some good league finishes, Morocco's manager had them finishing 3rd in the world cup. In my opinion, respect is earned and I don't think Aguerd has been won over by Moyes particularly. Respect is a two-way street, and let's not forget, Moyes has called Aguerd; Nathan Ayguard for 18 months now. Also, in all fairness, Aguerd can speak 3,4 languages, carries himself well and like Gonzo said, just generally comes across well. This could be more relative to my next point (the football) but there were some calls for him to be captain after Rice, I seem to remember. He was certainly one of the candidates mentioned most. So in terms of personality, if there is an element of that towards him ‘wanting’ a move away, I feel I would personally lean towards Aguerd, just on a personal level. It's not that deep, I know, but if it is a personal issue, I just feel I would lean towards Aguerd in most cases; I don’t think Moyes has come off well on a personal level A LOT during his tenure.

To the football, like I said, Aguerd joined and immediately got injured. We were supposed to start the season with him but we ended up playing Zouma and Dawson (I believe) and yeah, we weren't great for large spells while he was out. That’s not to say him being out was the reason for us to starting last season so poorly, it's just a point. If I were to look at the numbers, I would hazard the guess that he is probably the CB that has started most games this season for us (before the AFCON, he was the CB constantly playing twice a week and we were 6th and going well in Europe, despite the fact he had made individual errors. I would argue the point that for large spells if not all of this season hasn’t been the most complimentary of his playing style. There have been games (not necessarily against just the best/better teams in the league) we have played way too deep for way too long. I would argue Aguerd suits playing in a side that plays a slightly higher line than we have all year. I still feel he’s an asset. I would say there are a lot of managers who look at that squad and pick him, as Moyes was consistently before AFCON and every time he was available last season. He would also be an outstanding left-sided CB of a 3 and is potentially the second-best left-back we have at the club. It’s important to not get Moyesed in your outlook on football, in my opinion. Aguerd is not the best CB when it comes to defending the 6 yard box, but he has tonnes of other assets. I honestly think it has a lot to do with a personality clash. If I'm being honest, I’d sooner see that side be managed by a new manager next season and keep Aguerd than Aguerd leave and Moyes stay.

Just my opinion.

I think I've made my mind up, If the board don't relieve Moyes of his duties by the end of this contract, I'm out.

Not a big loss. He has cost us too many points and always looks mistake prone.

Everyone is unsuited to David Moyes football style ffs!

He is leaving.

I don't think this case can just be put to DM. Maybe the whole organisation if the upper levels have an impact here, the fact we did not strengthen in January, as you say the club wanting players in the side when not fit. Seems here there could be many reasons. We should let him go before things get ugly. It's a shame but he's not what we need.
Totally agree about Dawson, we need a commanding CB, not a twinkle toes. Currently Id rather see Oggy in there.

Moyes wanted this player for two seasons, gets him and then has no clue how to get the best out of him . Aguerd thrives in a ball playing possession based side which is everything Moyes is against doing.Classic Moyes.

Aguerd isn’t as good as Ballon Dawson, that says everything, the difference between Dawson is Dawson put his club before anything

I don't think he's good enough.. Good performances have been rare. Prefer Mavrapanos.

Him and his family probably dislike the UK weather, and who can blame them.

Agured is a top defender frrrr can’t blame him for wanting to leave , an other masterclass player is being destroyed by Moyes …
