You’ve got three international goalkeepers (ok, one of them is now a 40yo back up/training ground keeper), two good right backs, a highly promising left back. Fernandes who looks good. Paqueta and Bowen. Fullkrug and Wilson who are both seasoned pros with successful careers, Summerville, a promising young French holding midfielder. Sure, the centre halfs have looked questionable but two of them cost a combined £80m and even then you have what should be able back ups in Igor and Mavro.
There a clubs in this league that would give their left bollock for that squad. The squad isn’t the issue, it’s the gormless pillock who trains them and sends them out every week.
I guarantee someone with personality, i.e, a Mourinho, would get a tune out of them. A shame our board are so against anyone that might challenge them.It’s the Premier League, though, Ron. Everybody has a squad full of internationals and who cost money. Look around the league and ask yourself a serious question: who has a weaker squad?
There are some - but not many. Sunderland whupped us on the opening day, and we didn’t even lay a glove on them. Although, as you say, that probably says more about clueless Partridge than anything else.
But when all is said and done, our squad isn’t great. Lots of over-rated, overpaid pap, especially in goal and at centre half. Which says we’ll just leak goals, which is exactly what’s happening.
Youre spot on: sacking Potter is the big first step. He’s just a terrible manager. But that won’t make the squad’s problems go away.But I would argue if you looked at the Palace squad, or the Brentford squad, even Fulham, definitely Sunderland, Leeds, Burnley, Wolves (these are just off the bat) you could make a claim for there being a load of average footballers. I would suggest our squad is better than all of those, the difference being they don’t have gormless Graham rallying their troops.
We have probably the best winger outside the top 6 (probably even warrants getting into some of them teams) in Bowen. We’ve got a midfielder that routinely gets picked for Brazil. A centre forward that is always in the German squads. A centre half who came through at Barcelona and was very highly rated at Nice when we signed him. Diouf and Fernandes who look to be good signings. Competition between AWB and KWP at right back. Areola makes mistakes but is not the worst in the league. Hermansen tbc but yes, the early signs are not encouraging. Even Kilman, yeah we all think he’s shit and we definitely overpaid, and while Wolves fans would agree with the 2nd point, none of them thought he was shit.
If you can’t get a tune out of those players, you’re in the wrong job. It is not a group of players that should be getting thumped week after week. As I say, the squad is not the issue.
Do you think, for example, Glasner, would have this squad being humiliated as we currently are?
I agree with most of that Ron, apart from regarding Kilman. Most of their fans did think he was shit. I know a Wolves fan who i deal with from time to time, and he was astonished we were signing him, let alone for the dough we did.
Still, im with you on the rest. We play some encouraging stuff under Greyham, but we struggwith the 2 biggest fundamentals... scoring goals, and conceding goals. The midfield, albeit a problem, has been a bit if a red herring all along. When Mavropanos is your best centre back, and by some fucking distance, you are not going to consistently compete in football matches, regardless of who is in midfield.

Re: If Potter would get sacked who would you want IN to replace him?
But I'm not here to row with our fans. There's too much of that shit in the stadium in match days. And it's because this fucking board are just running the club so badly.
Our fans care passionately about the club. More than anybody else - including shit owners. So there's always going to be disagreements amongst us. We get the arse end of terrible decision-making from top to bottom. But we're all West Ham to the core.
Except Mad ferret and his Spurs cronies, of course!

I'm not so sure that Palace's squad is weaker than ours, though, Ron. They've spent well. We certainly don't have a GK as good as Henderson, a CB as good as Guehi, a CDM as good as Wharton, or a striker as good as Mateta, for example. They're strong right down the spine of the team.
I take your point about some of the other squads. We "should" be finishing above them. But we have some serious problems. Our GKs and CBs would be an issue for any manager. It all leaves a gaping hole in the side - which is why we're conceding three goals a game almost every week.
A good manager would shore that up. But, ultimately, they'd ship out that selection of players.
Add Eze, who I know has just left but he's had him the whole time he's been there.
Palace unquestionably have better players than us as you say, in those key positions. Only caveat is that we don't know what we have in the Magassa/Fernandes combo yet. That could be a real area of strength but both have only just arrived.
Also when they sell players of late, it seems to have been for big money to big clubs. We're trying to give ours away for free. That's really telling.

Re: If Potter would get sacked who would you want IN to replace him?
Yeah I think while some other managers could do better with most of the players we've got, Ron's post makes it sound like it's a really good group of players being badly mismanaged and that's the main problem.
It absolutely isn't. It's one of the symptoms of the problem, which we all know. Brady and Sullivan.
Anyway, we do not have a squad any other Premier league team would give their left bollock for. We have 3-4 players teams outside the top six would give their left bollock for. That's about it. Bowen, Paqueta, and now arguably Fernandes. Then we have a mix of decent players, decent players with back breaking flaws, and some fucking dross.
The goalkeepers are average at best. Telling that the best is probably the 40 year old we just resigned as a free agent as no-one else wanted him after letting go in the summer.
The centre backs are all SHIT. The cost is irrelevant. It just shows the scouting and talent spotting at the club is fucking shocking. It's disingenuous to just spout what we paid for them as some sort of insistence that they are all actually good and just misused. Could someone else get them to play marginally less shit? Probably, but they are going to be the reason we go down, if we do, because they are fucking rubbish.
Full/wing backs- decent. Not great. Decent
CM- again really disingenuous to say 'well he's got Fernandes and Magassa'- they've been here for three games combined. Come back to that one in a couple of months. They are good, clearly, but they've only been here five minutes. Blame Sullivan as they could both have been here three months. Paqueta is quality, but the rest of them are all, again, fucking SHIT. We couldn't GIVE any of them away in the summer. JWP couldn't even make Forest's bench last season.
Wide players- one of unquestioned quality in Bowen. Otherwise Summerville has been available for THREE games during Potter's whole time here. The rest are again just not worth even talking about.
Striker- fucking car crash. Fullkrug is ok but just injured so often. Wilson looked OK for 10 mins against a tired Forest, but wasn't even deemed worthy of starting when Fullkrug was injured. Both OK players but both extremely flawed. (injury prone)
So yes, Potter is doing a piss poor job, but let's not fucking pretend this is some sleeping top 8 quality squad. Outside about 4 players it's absolute dross. Bottom 6 level talent. Midfield pending after Fernandes and Magassa have actually bedded in,

Re: If Potter would get sacked who would you want IN to replace him?
And I still think there's talent in some of the youngsters who aren't getting a huge look in: Scarles, Earthy and Potts. Even Marshall.
Not saying they should all start. But I definitely think a decent manager could get them contributing to the squad at Premier League level. Some of our kids are as good as any coming out of youth teams - you've only got to look at what we win at youth level - yet we're not helping them make the step up.

Yep - don't get me wrong: I definitely think a genuinely "good" manager would get more out of this lot. But it's a pretty average squad by Premier League standards. So any decent boss coming in would need to try to move on some expensive flops.

Re: If Potter would get sacked who would you want IN to replace him?
I think that one of the issues is that Wee Willy Welshman doesn't trust anybody except himself with the club's money on the footballing side.
He probably feels that if any of his employees or staff recommend a player then there's definitely some brown envelope action going on that he doesn't know about, and if there's ANY brown envelope exchanges going on at the club then he's the only one allowed to be involved.

Of the unemployed pool we will get the next man from, it has to be Mourinho. Sullivan probably not keen as Mourinho is unlikely to put up with his interfering but he looks the best option. The football wont be great but results should improve and our defence tightened up ( not hard I know )

Re: If Potter would get sacked who would you want IN to replace him?
Joke he was fired in the first place.
Alas he'll never return under the same BS regime after he purposely humiliated them in 1 of our Press Conferences where he forced the Reporter to being it up so he coukd take the piss out of them for the shit he had to put up with.

Just under 2 months later he was sacked. The timing is of no coincidence.
A proper West Ham Manager that got us both on and off the pitch.

Who would I want IN to replace Potter?
Literally, almost anyone. Can it really get any worse?
Reckon the bird on the deli counter in my local Waitrose would get more of a tune out of our shambles of a squad than the waste of skin currently in charge.
So, Sandra it is.

Despite Jose being ex Chelsea & Spurs, he seems like one of the few palatable options.
I’d love us to go get Raffaele Palladino or Michel but that ain’t happening.

McKenna’s a good young coach. But he’d have his work cut out keeping this squad in the Premier League.
Mourinho keeps us up.
With this squad, almost everybody else is on a sliding scale of risk.
This.
Mourinho is the sure thing to keep us in the league. Nuno probably gets a tune out of us.
Both play pretty uninspiring football. But our squad is still best suited to a counter attacking game. We have decent direct threat on the flanks. A hard working and now a bit more athletic central midfield. A guy who excels at through balls from deep in transition in Paqueta.
Mavropanos has shown he can play in a deep defence. So has Wan Bissaka. Diouf is physical enough for it. And Areola has shown that's the situation he excels in.
We have a squad that can play how Nuno and Mourinho would setup, centre forward aside.
