They had their chance this year, they bombed. It's a stupid move.

Re: Declan Rice
West Ham are looking to bring in a director of football and potential candidates have been informed Declan Rice will be sold this summer.

Re: Declan Rice
Pure speculation on my part but I reckon Rice goes to Arsenal and we get two or three players as part of the deal.

Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard and Saliba are the only four who I think are title challenging players.
Everyone else feels like they're top 8 players.
There's a reason Man City got rid of Zinchenko and Jesus, Tierney's decent but that's it. Gabriel got bullied by Antonio, Ben White is okay.
Xhaka and Partey is a weaker midfield than ours.
Ramsdale is average.

Re: Declan Rice
If we win the ECL and Moyes stays on then he will have a say in all this and as it stands he doesn't want him to go

Re: Declan Rice
Agree with those four at elite level. Zinchenko is a class-player. Took the challenge to go from City and thrieved under it. Super smart on the ball. Jesus also showed that there is a positive edge in his game before getting injured. Ramsdale is a top-keeper (in the making).Bubbles Fortuna wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 6:23 pm I just don't think they're that good.

They've got the base that is needed to remain around the Top-3/4. From that on you need a bit of luck with injuries and you have to hit your two major signings each season. If they get both, Caicedo and Declan, they are THE side below City, as long as United don't make a significant jump and/or not playing twice a week turns Chelsea completely on a rocket under Poch (but a lot has to come right there at the same time).

Re: Declan Rice
It's genuinely disgusting that ahead of a European Cup Final we are still reading articles about our club captain being sold and DoF candidates being told he's off.
Clubs. Agents. Media. They should all be told to go f*** themselves, publicly. This week of all weeks.
What is the point in our football club.

Re: Declan Rice
The north London propaganda machine is going all out to unsettle west ham and Declan rice . For according to them is such an insignificant trophy. Do they know something we don't ? .
Re: Declan Rice
I just don’t agree.

Re: Declan Rice
12 points from their last 9 league games and now 2 games a week to contend with and all with a fairly small squad once you get beyond the starting 11.
Theres a possibility that Arsenal are competing with City again but theres also a possibility that the #Artetaout brigade is in full swing around Christmas time.

Re: Declan Rice
Liverpool will definitely improve.
Newcastle will maintain their top 4, and
Ten Hag will have navigated his first season, with a cup or two in the newly polished trophy cabinet.
Emery will definitely fancy a tilt at it, and
Pochettino could be the one to get a tune out of the bloated squad Chelsea have.
