To an extent. Signed him on a long term deal, gave him some game time then sent him on loan to get experience

I hold these apologists in lower esteem than the board themslves is that sullivan and gold are paupers. Yes compared to some owners they arent wealthy but between them they are worth 1.5 billion look up times rich list. They could afford to inject some capital into club and buy a couple of players . They choose not to
They don’t need to inject equity. They need to spend the money the club has not spent on wage savings and/or the money they take on interest or loan repayments.

Those were the days, remember going Man City away in the cup Berkovic and lomas, city were **** back then

Pickford played long before Moyes was there. Moyes had Mannone as first choice until he broke his arm.
Rice was already established before Moyes took over.

So two players in god knows how long.

That bid for the Argentinian suggests that we have yet to actually make a cash bid for anyone this window, and likely will not do so. No wonder we’re finding it difficult doing business...

That's pretty stern stuff from River Plate. They have flatly refused to negotiate a deal . Has their dubious reputation now reached as far as Argentina ?

I think their reputation doesn’t even need to precede them...as soon as the David’s say “we’d like to offer you 500k to loan one of your star players who we won’t pay you for until the summer (for a team who has a season break in the winter)”, it’s pretty clear that they’re not serious nor are they going to be good to deal with

I hope IB is DM...IB/DM, if you’re still listening, and no one is signed by the end of the window, and you walk and chastise the owners, you will forever be cemented in West Ham lore

Long? He played three games the previous season. How many games do you think keepers in their early 20s play in the premier league!?

2. The year we got Hartson/Kitson.

Come on West Ham. Sort it out.
Was close to slitting my wrists and then stumbled across this post... Happy days...could happen again :scarfer:

A tonne of loan games before. Made his debut the season before. Moyes didn’t have him as #1 he was forced to be play him because of injury.
Remind me how that season went??
