West Ham Online

May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

Rossknowsfuckall's obsession with Alvarez is borderline weird.

Of our experienced players that left at the end of last season I only know of Cresswell getting a job ( Stoke ). Any news on what the likes of Fabianski, Coufal and Ings are up to?

Think we are still a striker/winger player short of being able to go hard till January. Don't see Fullkrug/Wilson being available for most the games at the same time so we are short up top. 

Glad to see Earthy and Potts staying, hoping they can get some minutes and compete. 

Amazed we haven't shifted Rodriguez and one of JWP/Soucek. What a waste of a squad space.  

JWP/Soucek Featured heavily in our win on Sunday. They held the line for > 60 minutes. Soucek will get 10 goals. We now have some more steel, energy and speed so hopefully more ballance. 


I think we have one of the best squads we’ve ever had but are light in goal and up front. Not ideal obvs. 

Thats fine and good for them.  I would still rather see Potts or Alvarez over either of them against Spurs alongside Fernandes and Paqueta. 

They both have major limitations which will get exposed over the course of a season, especially at home. 

 

Ballon D’Igor to follow Ballon Dawson?  Not a chance. He’s shit isnt he? 

Aguerd confirmed 

Good fucking riddance,  Marseille seems to be a magnet for cunts the last few years.

 I have a little theory about the fee. Emerson apparently had a sell on clause so we deliberately kept his fee down and boosted Aguerd’s up so that the rent boys wouldn’t get as much money.

Sure. But there are options. 

Lets hope he’s more Dawson than Aguerd.

If nothing else, one thing I think we can guarantee is Igor will be an upgrade on Aguerd. That flakey fucker was absolutely useless all told. A proper weak streak of piss. 

Can’t believe we’ve nicked nearly 20 million quid for the charlatan.

Surely the Aguerd deal went through? Been sitting outside the Marseille training ground since we signed him. 

Waster.

Let's see. As l9ng as Potter doesn't revert to a back 3, i doubt he'll see much game time.

Somewhat usefully he also covers as a regular left back too. Maybe not so great for Ollie Scarles, but when Afcon comes around and we lose Diouf and AWB, that might be a useful trait to have.

The two free agents we brought in have done better than I expected them to do, Diouf is a definite upgrade at LB, Fernandez looks settled already and Hermansen was put into the team too soon in a position where every fuck up counts to tell whether he’s our nailed on keeper, but hopefully. Generally pretty pleased with the window but again it feels like Sullivan has just done what he feels is just enough and not addressed the obvious young striker position. Pleased that he tripped himself up with regards Paqueta “trying to force a move” bollocks.
Once again, Sullivans report will state could do better if he only concentrated on more than his wank bank.

If true you have to wonder what kind of medicals we actually do at our club. Do we just count the number of hands and feet or what?

 

I would think the most likely reason Igor Julio didn’t go to Palace is that Glasner would have walked if they’d sold Guehi and Eze in the same transfer window.

Transfer window is a Mixed bag for me

Keeper looks suspect
No young center forward
No dominant Center half (should be our priority)

Saying that we did

Shift some dead wood
Sign Diouf who is mustard
Address our midfield
Sign Fernanades who looks like a player
Upgrade the center forward position with Wilson
And steal KWP who is a good utility player.

So the squad has definitely improved a lot.

I’ll give it a 7/10….. Would have been an 8 if we had addressed the Center half properly.

Looking forward to watching us play again, which is nice, it’s been a while.
