Re: Welcome Tomas Soucek

Big Tomas Soucek is already a bit of a cult hero so he needs a song when we are finally allowed back in the stands. Here's my effort this morning. Let me know what you think. (to the tune of 'A Girl Like You' by Edwin Collins) I used to know a Czech like you before (dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-da-da) You're...

The manager should be picking what he perceives to be his strongest team for this game. Anything else is unacceptable.

Re: Marko Arnautovic Signs

I love Arnautovic. He's a real West Ham player, as in he gets you exited as soon as he is involved in the play. A talisman that looks like he loves being the focal point of the team. However, if the club play this properly (which we wont) we could come out of this with a fantastic couple of deals th...

Re: Arsenal v West Ham Utd: match thread (25/8)

Need to play with 3 centre backs and two wing backs for me but I don't see MP moving away from a back 4. Keep it tight and when we win it try and play the ball in over the top or in the channels to try and exploit Arsenal's dodgy high line. That's why I would playt he nippy Perez up top with Arnie. ...

Re: West Ham United v Manchester United: Match Thread

Masuaku was playing gash and offering nothing. Also, he had to take of someone who would enable him to maintain balance in midfield, i.e with Lanzini on the left and Mario on the right. Who would you have taken off instead? It was the logical sub. I would've taken off Mario as he isn't a natural le...

Re: West Ham United v Manchester United: Match Thread

I think Arfur got the hook because he had a couple of ropey touches at the start of the half and then Valencia (?) got past him far too easily - Moyes also went 4-4-2 and played Carroll and Arnie as a pair. Even more reason to keep Arthur on if he's playing left wing instead of left wing-back and d...

Re: West Ham United v Manchester United: Match Thread

Good point at the end of the night, the boys did well in general. Can someone please explain to me Moyes thought process when bringing on Carroll he takes off Masuaku, who is surely the most likely guy on the field who can actually get in the last third of the field and 'try' and deliver a ball to t...

Just cannot see Sully and Gold spending that.
I've seen that £60m figure banded around a while ago Steve but you're probably right, they won't spend that much

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018

My two pennies worth of what I would like to see done in this coming transfer window: I don't normally like to see more than 5-6 changes to the playing squad each summer as it can take some time to gel but we are so poor and unbalanced at the moment that I feel that there should be 9 out and 8 in.

Re: David Moyes: should he stay or should he go? [POLL]

I actually don't mind Moyes, but I voted for him to go. Watching West Ham and football in general should be about being entertained. Besides meeting my dad and brother for a few beers, I watch West Ham to be entertained and for the atmosphere. People used to go on about grinding results out so we c...

Re: West Ham United v Leicester City: Match Thread

We need pace at the back to defend the channels so move Kouyate into the back 3. He's been so poor in midfield anyway. Move Zabaleta into a defensive midfield role next to Fernandes who can be his legs. Bring Haksabanovic and Sakho into the starting line up which will give us more energy and defend ...

Re: Tottenham Hotspur’s v West Ham United cup match thread

Three at the back is a must, an injection of youth and pace is needed and some bloody leadership. So I've gone with this team to start: 3-4-3 Hart; Kouyate, Rice, Reid; Byram, Noble, Fernandes, Masuaku; Lanzini, Haksabanovic; Antonio Zabaleta and Fonte are in their mid thirties and need to be rested...

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2017 Targets

I'm not sure where the Solanke love in has come from (not here, necessarily, but the media seem to be hyping him too) - one season scoring 7 goals in the Eredivisie isn't exactly setting the world alight, is it? Personally he didn't do a lot for me in the appearances I saw for Vitesse. To be honest...

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2017 Targets

That's a fair point mate. It all comes down to the players desire to fight for a place in a Premier League starting line up as well. 60k per week for RLC is a hell of a lot, despite his undoubted talent. Solanke's situation still interests me. He's being linked with Liverpool and RB Leipzig but if h...

We all know that we need a proven goal scorer and a right back at least, plus a new goalkeeper in my opinion but there are two young lads at Chelsea that are not getting a game for them that we should be targeting. Dominic Solanke (19, Striker/Winger) has been out on loan at Vitesse Arnhem and has d...
