I'm not sure Moyes has till December if things carry on as they are.
He needs to get any new signings in the team sharpish if he wants to save his job.

Joking aside, if we do sign him he won’t start against Bournemouth. Moyes is such a prick that he probably wouldn’t start him for a few games. These highly capped international players don’t have enough experience.

Will need 6 weeks to bed in.
Get a run of games then get injured.
Come back and find his form in the last 2 months of season.
So it shall be written, so it will be done.

Good news that Al... generally excited at this lad... good luck to him.
lowlife... app' he's cut his hold short so I imagine he's been necking a few Dos Equis's so I'd be very surprised if he's thrown straight in...

NS - he’d be an improvement in our midfield even if he’s still pissed!
Genuinely pleased and excited about this though!

As I understand it, he's had no pre-season at all, due to winning the confederations cup with Mexico.
So he will need time to bed in and get into shape. Wouldn't expect to see him make more than a cameo appearance until mid-September...

I can't say I know much about him, but it's a good price, he's a good age and he's got some pedigree.
Quite a set of ears on him too!

Wait for the press conference. If Moyes says something along the lines of "We've been tracking him for some time..." then it's likely not his choice of transfer, however if it's along the lines of "I've been following him..." then it probably is his choice and will be playing as early as possible, even if it as a late sub cameo at the first (cup-parading) home game.

NS - Yes, I read that he was on holiday too.... he is an Ajax player, how can he be on holiday a week before the seasons start across Europe?
Typical West Ham, go after the only player not to have done a pre-season!

I know it is only YouTube but just watched the link below in the thread and he does look like a very similar type player to Rice.
Also good at the far post with his head which is probably what swung it with Moyes!
Exciting if we don't fuck it up...

Not sure why everyone seems to think Romano is reliable?
Pretty sure he's the one that has reported us having all but done at least 2 deals now (Barnes, Borges?).
Is he any more reliable than any of the other hacks?

Look forward to the ususal Moyes treatment for players from abroad where he breaks them in gentlg for the first two or three months.

Certainly tough and should help us defensively.
Need more pace in there now. Probably more than McTominay.
