We need 8 homegrown enlish players in the Squad

Submitted by cast iron on

So who are they going to be? Trott, Cresswell Rice Antonio, Bowen, Johnson, Downes, (Dawson, Coventry? Ashby all Leaving) also got Randolph which makes up the 8 if Coventry, Ashby, and Dawson are sold.
Foreign players, Fabianski, Coufal Zouma, Cornet,Emerson Palmieri,Paqueta,Kehrer,Fornals,Aguerd, Areola, Benrama, Soucek. Ogbonna, Hegyi, Ekwa, Swyer, and finally Lanzini that makes so that makes 26 players. So who's going out of the squad?
It can't be Randolph because he is Homegrown part of the 8, talk of Lanzini going but supposed to be being replaced by Hans Vanaken but there's no room at the inn- might be Hegyi going shame really as he looks promising but I suppose you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet so I think it will be one of the 3 youngsters going out on loan Ekwa, Swyer or Heygi or keep one of them in the Under 23s. Nice head ache to have, but not a lot of incentive for our academy players.

Moyes brave enough to drop Bowen?

Submitted by hammergirl on

Of course he is but will he do it? somethings not right at the moment with Bowen and i think giving him a break even though its the spuds next would be a good thing all round.Play the four at the back keep Soucek and Rice as the barrier in front of those and then to tinker a little bit play Antonio wide right Cornet wide left with Benni behind Scamacca i think we would look much better lining up like that.Watching how the spuds pack there defence and hit on the break i think this line up would nullify that threat and give us the width needed to stretch for me though unbeaten is a very average group of defenders Dier Jeez and that Emerson Royale is rubbish so hopefully Moyes is not to cautious because as a crowd the players are going to be pumped with the atmosphere and no doubt will i hope invigorate us and again Moyes you got off lightly playing Citeh because of your fears of what they could do well you have been here long enough now to understand that kind of tactic and display against that mob will not be acceptable in any way shape or form.COYI

Oh yes the Alpacca you are saying why is he not in your starting line up well for me if/when he has signed i think it would be the wrong match to start him and Moyes does like a bedding in process doesn't he so thats why i expect him on the bench Wednesday evening.

Exwhu employee and all the other wannabes

Submitted by Chippy Dave on

Got to say I hate this time of year, so many bloggers and ‘in the know’ transfer window experts, and they all regurgitate the same nonsense.
What does this exwhu employee do for the rest of year after he has his army of followers living on his every word for 3 months, he must hate it when the window closes and he’s out of the limelight.
How did it come to this, an array of self obsessed West Ham fans suddenly becoming bloggers and giving second hand news out, it’s pathetic and I can’t wait for the circus to be over.
Do other clubs have this or is it exclusive to West Ham and all their ‘sources’?

Should have sold Rice

Submitted by Deluded Hammer on

And bought Haaland and with the left over money a whole new back line.
Seriously though, after seeing this transfer window and the prices so far, Jesus, Sterling, Philips, Haaland then if it's true that there was a £100 mill offer for him we should have taken it. He's a fantastic player, no doubt about it but at the end of the day it's only one player and no matter how spectacular we think Rice is, he isn't a game changer. And if I'm honest I don't think we will ever see that sort of money for him being offered again ( I personally feel he will run his contract down).
Just remember, Mourinho allegedly offered £80 million for Diop whilst at the joke club in red right now and how much did we get for him at the end.
So. I will obviously upset loads of you with my view so I'm off out to buy a stab vest

Rice - Captain

Submitted by Hammers65 on

10 games last season,3 this season & 1 thing weve learned is that Rice is not captain material.His form has really dipped as well,personally I'd take the ridiculous money touted around for him & get some proper midfield replacements! His body language screams out he doesn't want to be here,dawson when fit would be my captain,a bit of grit needed

Marketing and that horrid third strip

Submitted by hammergirl on

Orange you have all seen it our third strip is white with an Orange flare across the shirt apparently the reason for that is to pay homage to the Thames Ironworks and the orange sparks that were created during there arduous work.
Marketing people have to make stuff up like that to try and sell a pig of an item.ORANGE really Orange i know i am younger than a lot on here but can anyone tell me when did We ever have a shirt that was Orange home or away?When i purchase something West Ham related to wear it is with the traditional colours and no Burkie i am not answering the thought that just came to your mind there lol.Seriously though unless the club is now being sponsored by Terrys where the hell do we get that colour from.

Forest score predictions

Submitted by Chippy Dave on

Tough game tomorrow against a newly promoted Forest side, their first game at home too.
What’s your score prediction for the game? I’ve gone for a West Ham 2-1 win on my super 6 this week but wouldn’t be surprised at a reversal of that score, of course you can guarantee that Lingard will score at some point!!
Bowen and Soucek to get the West Ham goals.
