David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Let's hope

The team is in top 8/9 form over the last half season.

A team that picked up 15 points in the first half of the season with a potential 28 in the second half with one game to go has clearly turned a corner and is improving after half a season in the doldrums as it was trying to integrate new players and get them acclimatised to the PL.

I think it was more of a pre-season and transfer timings disaster :- late key player signings, having to play catch up and trying to work out a system with new players all the while getting injuries.

Going to need a similar rebuild next season but without Rice. Lesson learnt?

I'd certainly hope so.

Final is 7th June, I'm guessing they are back in for pre-season about 2 July. Then they are off down under mid July. New season on 12 August.

I doubt they will do as much business this year. 4-6 in at a guess.

Why another rebuild of that size?

13th place and a trophy.

Still a good chance this is the best season a lot of us have ever seen.

If we’d been relegated and got a trophy it’d still be the best season I’d ever seen!

The European competitions do a lot of heavy lifting in that stat.

Purely in the PL we could be on for our second highest number of defeats in the last 20 years.

But we're not only in the Premier League and it's long proven that European Campaigns have a negative impact on league performance.

TBF Thursday Sunday football was a pretty strong headwind. A major disadvantage against our PL rivals not playing in Europe

Oh agreed. It’s just not simple fact that we’ve been won loads more. We’ve played loads more games.

[Hamburger]

Why another rebuild of that size?

I think this has been well discussed on the rebuild thread but here is a list of all players that will OR POSSIBLY could leave either by transfer, retirement or end of contract -

Rice, Lanzini, Cullen, Vlasic, Coventry, Masuaku, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Fabianski, Johnson, Fornals

You could argue that 3 or 4 of those might NOT leave but there is a possibility 1 or 2 might (without being definitive) and certainly 1 or two need upgrading.

Throw into that imponderables like Soucek who has yet to sign a new contract, Coufal who has said he would like to play nearer home (not that he will this year), Areola who MIGHT go if Fab stays as number 1 and of course Scamacca.

So with all the possible permutations, yes we MAY need up to 8.

Some people were shouting from the roof tops that business needed to be done very early doors last summer and it was that dithering that allowed us to gain no momentum in the first half of the season.

I very much hope that Moyes and co dont make the same mistake this upcoming window.

We need 1 or 2 signings done early doors just as Arsenal did last season.

[SammyLeeWasOffside]

Oh agreed. It’s just not simple fact that we’ve been won loads more. We’ve played loads more games.

You have to be successful to get to play loads more games though.

Ex, is a bag of wind that has no idea what is going on within West Ham. You or I could do what he does.

[MB]

Oh agreed. It’s just not simple fact that we’ve been won loads more. We’ve played loads more games.

Do you prefer the old days when we’d play 40 games a season? A win is a win and it means we are doing well at something!

"Pep unlikely to be sacked if Man City win treble"

If anyone mentions Moyes should be sacked, doesn't understand this Club and never will. Moyes is already a legend at this club, he understands us, what a great man he is.

Lol you are such a troll

Legend is a bit far. If he wins the ECL then I'd agree with you.

It's actually what I feel, he's done wonders here.
