Re: West Ham vs Chelsea Official Match Thread

True, but all the above got a solid run off games. Not sure Benrahma has, and maybe he hadn’t warranted it, we don’t see the training. However Dawson for me has become a liability last few games and showing his level, for me cannot come back into team. If we had a fully fit squad I'm inclined to ag...

Re: Am i reading too much into this..

The one year left on his contract will drive the the value down on the sale no matter what the valuation is set at. That said what could have been 15 m a couple of months ago is now considerably north of that. I wouldn't see a problem for our owners to pay this if we make CL, anything less and I see...

Re: West Ham vs Leicester City Official Match Thread

Missing our best defender, best midfielder and our only striker, I have a bad feeling about this run of games now. There are some losses our thin squad can suffer and we should be getting Ogbonna back soon, but this is looking less and less like top 4 every day. Leicester have had a season riddled w...

Re: Wolves vs West Ham Official Match Thread

I cannot wait for Ogbonna to relegate Diop back to the bench, his ball watching on both their goals is laughable, must be doing Dawson's fuckin head in at this point, every time the ball goes over his head there's no cover from the other mountain of a cb. I know he had some good moments defending ye...

Re: Is Benrahma the new Stuart Slater

I feel he is just the player we need with the midfielders we have. Rice & Soucek’s interceptions are always an opportunity to turn defense into attack & Benrahma will be ideal for this.

Re: Wolves vs West Ham Official Match Thread

Neto & Traore running at our fbs worries me, their striker does not. Given this I would go with a back 3 to allow more speed out wide. Even think Diop could do a job, with his pace, on the right side of a 3, with Coufal at rwb, Dawson & Cress in the centre with Johnson or Arfur lwb, I have n...

Re: Aguero

No, no, no - this is just the type of signing we need to avoid. The number of quality players we can bring in for his wages would far outweigh his aging contribution. Not to mention the “big” player mentality that would disrupt this squad.

Re: Jesse Lingard....yay or nay ?....

northern lad and Man U fan, reckon he stays at utd if they put something on the table. I also reckon he would want some assurances that the likes of rice and soucek are staying before he would talk to us. never quite seen a turnaround like his revival and what its done in such a short space of time...

Re: Scott Parker---WTF

I guess it depends on your long-term plan with the loans, stay up and sign them based on performance (Soucek) or go down and return them to the parent club. Kind of like us with Lingard, make Europe and it's a good chance he stays, don't and we'll be signing his replacement on a free! Dawson is a l...

Re: Is Benrahma the new Stuart Slater

He's the Fornals of this season only he came with a lot more expectation than Pablo. I think he's still growing as a prem league player and will be a better player next season.
