Forwards

Submitted by Westhamphil on

According to the Daily Mail, since January of 2010, when Gold & Sullivan took over the club, they have spent a total of £223 million on 49 different forwards. I wish I could name half of them, but I can't. This turnover is astounding, and what does it say about the board's leadership. I would like to know how many have been sold on and at what income.

The most annoying, infuriating, aggravating and disheartening time of year.

Every transfer window brings out the worst in many people. The money-grabbing agents, the gullible players, the mischievous antics of club owners. Taking the biscuit the barefaced lying of the journalists. it makes me so angry, all the sh1t we are dealt. West Ham has always been easy pickings for the media, penniless but full of ambition, punching over our weight etc. Our owners now have the opportunity to make something out of our first team after last seasons blinding achievement. As usual, we are being played by every team, agent and player we have an interest in. Lingard, the options, stay at ManU, sit on the bench, and lose out on a place in next years World Cup, Transfer to West Ham, be the first, with Declan Rice to be pencilled on the team sheet every week and get picked for England, it ain't rocket science! Maybe Mr Gold is dragging his feet over Lingard to use it as an excuse for not being able to sign other players. Goalkeeper, do we really need to be looking yet? We have higher priorities. Stricker, if you want a 20-25 goal a season centre forward they are going to have to pay good money for one. Scouring relegated teams and pay over the odds for their players, yea ok. All I can see is a lack of ambition from our board. So sad. Give Rice his new contract & pay rise, I was led to believe that West Ham is going to build the team around him??? Yarmolenko, give him another chance to show how good he is, and what he can do. He is a very good player. We have got some brilliant young'uns coming up through the ranks, Time to blood some of them. We are a few weeks away from the start of the season, the superstars should now be back in training, and our new-look team should by now be starting to gel. It's time for GSB to put their money where their mouths are, build on last season, win a cup, and build again. Otherwise, if they have no ambition for the club, pack their bags!

West Ham contract negotiations

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Just how do the board do this and keep straight faces when putting offers on the table for players is a farce...we all have heard that Decs turned down two offers but rumour has it if he is made the highest earner at the club he will sign...of course it means nothing all that gets you is more money when he leaves....now its coming out that Coufal contract talks have started and he feels let down as to the offer he has been given.......i tell you our club has no idea and i mean NO idea what they are doing,of course it is called a negotiation for a reason and the players agent will get the best possible deal for there man but when you have players who are clearly very very talented footballers like it or not you have to pay them what they are worth...how many times have we given out dumb 4 year contracts on injury prone bang average players? to many thats the answer......so FFS when you have genuine talent stop messing about make them decent offers because unless you do why would other players want to join a club seen as tight arses when it comes to handing out contracts to top players.

Christian Eriksen

Submitted by Enfieldhammer on

How horrible was it see Christian Eriksen stumble to the ground. You new straight away things was not good. As much as I hated him whilst wearing a Tottenham shirt you could never do anything but admire how great a footballer he was. I say was, as being someone with a heart condition and in a way like Eriksen being in the right place at the right time am lucky still to be here. Just can't see him coming back from that. Eriksen was definitely saved by the quick response of those around him and the professional support and equipment around him.
Like many watching events unfold. I was sitting in tears, praying for a positive outcome. He could so easily have been one of ours. Afterall he was linked in January.This has happened to one of our own already. The great Marc Vivien Foe. His death also occured whilst on International duty? Perhaps this is 1 tournament too far & the players should have been given a decent break.

Lingard Rumour

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Rumour has it that Lingard had a £110 thousand pound watch stolen from the dressing room after the Everton game and the only people who had access were two physios two players and the kit man so that seems to be the news that the club are trying to keep quiet and away from the papers....If true that will fester untill it is resolved.......to a player it is not a lot but it is the principle and being able to trust your colleagues.

Are we still in with a chance of Champions league

Submitted by alby foreverirons on

I think we are still a chance mathematically to make it, even though I don’t do that good in tipping contests, looking at the remaining draws we can still get fourth spot. At the moment Leicester are there with three games to play but I can only see them winning maybe one of those games and that’s against Spurs which would give them 66 points..
Pool have four games to play but I don’t see them playing well enough to beat Manu, they should win the other three so they would end up on 66 points.
Everton have four games and apart from their last game against Man City will probably win the rest mind you Aston Villa will test them so they will finish on 64 points.
Tottenham if they win their last three will finish on 65 points but their last game against Leicester could be dicey as that’s the one I think could go either way.
It could all come down to the last round, but anything could happen, exciting times and also arse clenching times to be a West Ham United supporter but I think at worst we could os should end up in at least the Europa league so does everyone agree it’s been a fantastic season.

Stars

Really Hate some Journo's

Throughout the years we've seen some Brilliant players grace our club, Devonshire, Brooking etc. But over the past few years we've also had some players if only for a short while, namely Payet, Arnautovic and as it would seem now Lingard. I quite often have a look at the West Ham News Now All Sources and one of the stories I clicked on was 'Is Lingard too good for West Ham'. There was even a poll on it, which gets me thinking 'Why are we constantly belittled by the gutter press?' and Journalists in general?? We get a good player and after a while they start again?? with comments about your Chelsea's and Manchester United.
