Um...Xande Silva is like a new signing? :wink:

Moyes won't drop our captain in a relegation battle. I believe we will se Rice drop back to centre half to improve our defence.

He may be an international but Czech Republic currently sit at 43 in the rankings and were recently stuffed 5 nil by England.

I obviously hope he does great for us but when I look at players spurs are bringing in we just look poundstretcher rather than waitrose.
He scored against Inter Milan. None of ours could against West Brom reserves….

This is just complaining for complaining's sake.
Yes you are correct. I've been getting very negative lately which is unlike me. He will of course get my full support and hope he encourages the rest of them to up their game.

We're all getting bogged down with everything lately. Our entire fan base needs a lift.

He apparently isn't interested in us and per usual Tottenham are hanging around our targets.

Then we deserve to be relegated and Moyes deserves to be back into the jobless wilderlands.
Noble is the most obvious drop in the whole side, and even he was hinting that he knew he couldn't play every game with his comments after West Brom.

Noble has had a great career, maybe he's still a great influence in the lockerroom and training pitch. His time as a first choice player in the PL is long gone.

Saints already have 2 RBs in Bertrand and Cedric Soares. They're now taking Walker-Peters on loan from Spurs who will presumably play because why else would he move.

Perhaps they might be letting Cedric go in which case he could be an option for us.

The last time I recall Rice playing CB he was ducking out of the way of a shot leaving Hart totally stranded.

I mentioned Soares' contract was ending this summer a few pages back , Bill and that he'd be a sure target for our new DOF .

They have Valery and Cedric at RB. Both are injured for up to a month so I see their need for a RB.

Bertrand has been playing on the left and Cedric injured his knee, he's out until at least mid-February. Their backup RB is out as well.

KWP will get about a month of starts, then likely it will be a rotation at the FB spots.

Just received a message from a friend who works in high-end house removals in London. Take it with a pinch of salt...

"My north London branch have just done a removal quote for a Hugo Scheckter in a nice place in Essex. Turns out he's West Ham's head of player care, and it was not his house. Items are going partially to a hotel, partially into storage and then "probably abroad". I'll do a little more digging and find out which player the Irons are about to lose."

The problem with Piatek is having to see that absolutely guff shooting gun celebration when he scores.

I have a feeling we'll hate it a whole lot less when it's done celebrating a West Ham goal.

C&H saying that Tomas is a Hammer
The 24-year-old is on his way to the London Stadium to complete a photo shoot and video before being unveiled officially as a Hammer.

The official confirmation could come this evening or tomorrow
