Just siting here watching them play Bourmouth bored out of my brain ,i wouldnt mind the fact that they've virtually fucked up the game ,but them commentators would make you sick with their relentless glorification of them ,something has to be done about this " moneys no object " to us philosophy .

An unmitigated disaster

Submitted by Enfieldhammer on

Since January 1st this year it has been absolutely disastrous for West Ham. With a couple of much needed additions we would have won the Europa League and also finished in the top 6. Knowing that we needed 8 players at least with the outgoings. All targets should have been identified and business comencing on the opening day of the window. We wait 2 weeks for our first signing. Too much time was wasted on Lingard. We now find ourselves further weakened with the long term injury to Augerd. Klasic & Diop departing. Why do we drag our heels in completing deals? Why was the Cornet deal sorted before the weekend? I fear we will panic buy and get inadequate players which goes against the Moyes philosophy and have a Vlasic situation again. We have Newman in place for this stuff. I feel we will be short again at Forest and suffer there. We should not be losing players to Everton etc. Clubs at the wrong end. Any appeal we had was lost January 31st.

More departures

Diop off to Fulham in £13/15million take your pick deal Vlasic now rumoured to be off to Italy Torino a rumour thats not going away.

So what now? our squad already depleted and the lack of performance yesterday regardless of the opposition has been seen all summer long in preseason.

I do not know what is going on and why we seem slow to react in the transfer market.....65/myself and others had been banging the Cornet drum most of the summer and before yet he finally arrives after Moyes persists in looking at unrealistic players who again said no to us....dragging his feet? board refusing to pay ridiculous transfer fees and wages? who do you believe really does not matter what does matter is the fact our squad is getting thinner and no signs of any urgency to rectify the matter.

Scamacca/Cornet/Downes all well and good but we need at least another four/five players but the speed we go in the market i am not sure we will get two in.

what i would like to see against City

Submitted by Oldtimehammer on

For the team to put in the effort Fulham did against Liverpool yesterday they played wonderfully well against one of the favourites for the league.We need to match that effort 100% today and be on the front foot at home especially.

Manchester City have so many top class players it will be a difficult match but i believe we can get something from it if we stand up to the chalenge and not sit back if we do that we will be in trouble.So i hope Mr Moyes has a plan that differs from so many last season which was to sit back regardless of the opposition and hit on the break.

So come on West Ham give the full house something to be proud of you always have our backing so put on a show.

Vlasic

Submitted by Chippy Dave on

Rumours are that West Ham are trying to offload Vlasic with clubs interested. I think I would give him another season and see if he’s got to grips with the Premiership, can’t see the point in shipping out players when they’re struggling to get any real quality coming in the other way, he’s obviously a talented player and would think he would be better in a more central position. If he goes then what are we left with as cover, especially as West Ham have lost 3 or 4 from the first team squad.

Fab/Coufal/Zouma/Oggy...or Dawson/Cressy/Rice/Soucek/Bowen/Fornals/Lanzini/Antonio

Gosh after all the summer transfer nonsense it looks like we will start with the same old West Ham side as last season good to see a traditionalist like Moyes fighting the waves of change.

Seriously though Scamacca not matchfit Cornet if passes his medical before 12pm today he would be available for the citeh game but we all know Moyes doesn't do that he likes to bed players in slowly...Downes bench at best Aguerd injured.

Citeh/Forest/Brighton/Villa/Spuds/Chelski....and throw in Viborg in the Conference league playoff inbetween......

Moyes may get away with Citeh match because as it stands i cannot see us getting anything other than a proper spanking in that game(i hope to be proved wrong bigtime)and he may just get away with that one but against Forest he most definetly will not and he will be judged Harshly if we lose.

Seasons not started and a doom and gloom scenario awaits ffs give our boys a chance Bikey you say and i do and i so want them to do well but can anyone look me straight in the eye and say you have not had the same thoughts?.

Our squad even with Aguerd/Downes/Scamacca/Cornet needs more we all know it and if we do get stuffed Sunday and following week against Forest we lose you can bet your bottom dollar Alarm bells will be ringing in the boardroom and signings whether moyes approves or not will be made and you see then just how quick deals can be done and if Moyes does not like it then mr toasty is waiting in the wings to take charge.

Annoyed with the club

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Sometimes i get really peed off with our club and how they act and today is one of those days.......week or so back rumours were the Gooners wanted Bowen...just rumours and he's not for sale anyway and today for no reason whatsoever we find the club have put a price tag of £75million on his head to deter clubs from making an approach.....why? by putting a price on his head you basically saying yeah he is available if you have the money and yet again we shoot ourselves in the foot.

Now whilst not naive and every player has there price what kind of message does this send out to others at the club especially to Rice.....they want to keep him they want to challenge for champions league place they want to build a team around him well if you start selling our best players or price tagging them it is never going to happen in my lifetime or any of the younger fans of the clubs lifetime ever.

Again big club big stadium we can compete with the big boys ha! do me a favour we are what we always will be a decent football club that will upset the applecart every now and then and once the goings good we cash in on our players...Rio/Fatboy/Joe cole/Johnson/Macavennie/TC......nothing will ever change...Rice will go Bowen will follow Scamacca if he hits the ground running as well.

So just one question what will the club say if the barcodes come in with the £75million what then eh? mug ourselves off all the time its bloody annoying.....a simple he is not for sale at any price should be the answer an England international an outstanding talent and we just hang a price tag on to deter others lol....ok rant over just get really annoyed with how we do things at times...and dont get me started on a loan deal for Cornet ffs if you want him buy him its £17.5 million not £70million ffs.

Move on for goodness sake

Kostic is not interested in joining us but Moyes still hopes to change his mind by as is rumoured offering him a major hike on what he is currently earning mmmm has he not learned from Lingard farce a player coming just for the money is not a player any club really needs is it.

So if Moyes wakes up and smells the roses he now begrudginly moves on to his next target Cornet from Burnley which will please a certain mr 65 oh yes i keep my eye on you boys and see that you do not get over excited:-)but anyhoo this player has a 17.5million release clause in his contract by todays standards chicken feed and yet we go in and ask to loan him not a low ball offer even nope a loan you have to laugh.

sell out crowds europe a stadium we moved to to compete with the big boys but for us big boys is Forest Brighton Palace and co.Traore available for £10million Cornet for £17.5 million two players prem experienced cost under £30million and the certainly wont be on wages akin to Yarmalenko or what we would of paid Lingard,Our squad would be better our bench stronger but unfortunately for us Moyes does take to long to make a decision.

as the saying goes "you dont always get what you want" but to keep hitting your head repeatedly against a brickwall seems something our manager is happy to keep doing.
