Well with all the money we had to spend in this window I do believe we have recouped more than what we have spent on transfers.
I know that window shuts in bout 6 weeks but our season starts in 4 days and I feel it's weaker than last season. I know we have brought in some good talent so far but I feel we are weaker in positions that we struggled in last year .
24 Jul 2016 22:18:23
I think our squad is slightly better but the first team is pretty much the same lol.
25 Jul 2016 09:13:47
I believe our SQUAD is stronger however, our starting 11 against Chelsea is a concern with SAKHO and Valencia probably gone, No Payet or Lanzini, Antonio at RB and Cresswell more than likely sidelined AND TOMKINS and possibly Reece Burke Sold!
25 Jul 2016 10:17:35
all the other teams rounds us have improved thier first teams in some cases significantly, our first team if we don't get full backs will actually start the season worse than it was last year even upfront we only have carroll, fletcher and valencia who is useless anyway as it looks like sahko won't play again with things as they are I think finishing 10 th will be decent can't see us taking all the points off top 6 teams we did last year, still a few weeks left though.
25 Jul 2016 12:48:59
Not looking forward to going to Chelsea and City with the way our defense is! Attack ain't much better with Valencia in the team.
24 Jul 2016 19:43:13
Forget bacca, zaza, bony etc.
Go get ben yedder . Complete calleri deal and get Brady for cover and we will be stronger than last year . Ben yedder has always been the striker we were realilisticly going to get. Not over valued . Not on big wages and is still young enough to come to westham and fight for champions league footy . Sakho and valencia out .
. Ben yedder and calleri inn.
Brady as tomkins replacement . I know tomkins played CB and RB but we have enough cover there and none in LB position.
24 Jul 2016 20:47:19
I'm not convinced about ben yedder he's technically good but I'm not sure about his physical attributes fr PL I'd prefer braithwaite to be honest.
24 Jul 2016 12:11:30
Hii fellas I don't understand why people are still waiting for an answer from Bacca. No is No Well I can tell you that Bacca is in Naples today, discussing amove to them, the player wants CL football end of story Naples are also after Icardi Incidentaly, FORGET these two, ZAZA, has said NO to WH and will move to MIlan if Juve don't want him, FORGET him, WH have to take a chance on Ben Yedder OR pay a ridiculous loan fee of 5 m Euros, to find out if he is suitable physique wise, either way Toulouse are winners IF we get Callieri great BUT WH at this time CANNOT get an auto right to buy him. At seasons end This is still APPARENTLY being negotiated. WH are awaiting saints bid for Randolph, we shall see on this one, WH have had more time than enough to get back up for CRESSWELL this is a wholly ridiculous situation was Cresswell going to play every game. ANYWAY? NOW the scramble is on for left sided defender, forwhich the attitude has been far too laid back Expect panic bids all over the show now WE have BIG Ideals, BUT we need to get some people over the line pronto THE reason WH have put aprice on Oxford, Is the player thinks he is good enough to play in the first teams, at either of the Manchester clubs! And apparently has been niggling to make his case. There comes atime UNFORTUNATELY, when it comes to put up or shut up, SO WH have let it be known, he is available IF the monies right, sometimes these things happen, and the player does not want to sign along contract anyway, let's see if City or United actually buy him, and give him a first team promise? IRONMIKE.
24 Jul 2016 12:50:05
can see it now last day of window and we land ballotelli on loan dgs go to press and say he's the one we've been after all summer just like the Brentwood gazette said lol.
24 Jul 2016 13:21:03
AT this time the likely forwards for next season Carroll Fletcher, Callieri. And either Manzukic or Ben Yedder, that's it, IT might be better to look at another attacking goal scoring midfielder that might be the answer? Assuming Valencia go's with sakho, Randolph and oxford looking likely to leave, we need two forwards and two defenders, and a GK, one attack MDF so six to come in, we had better get on with it pronto, can't see us doing this before, season start, can you? IRONMIKE.
24 Jul 2016 13:28:38
Wasting too much time messing about trying to buy players who have no intention of joining us and in the meantime we losing out on players within our reach. Do you see Everton going for lacazette? No? Or Palace going for bacca? No? Ben yedder would be a great addition but as always we will mess about too long and then it's too late. Then we have the LB AND RB farce. How long have we been saying Antonio is not a right back and now we have left back issues, and bear in mind our first two away games are at Chelsea and man city which could be very painful. Its all a joke.
24 Jul 2016 13:34:34
we've got a goalscoring midfielder but we are playing him at RB at the minute, I'd say go for a RB and LB before anything else and play antonio further up the pitch, we do need one forward at least though should go for braithwaite or at least remy may be OK for a season or two.
24 Jul 2016 13:42:23
WH have long known, about full back weakness, BUT have faith in Nordveilts ability to play full back. Well he can play quite well on the right, I have seen him do it, HE did look good yesterday BUT he is really a MDF, YES you could play him at LB, BUT then you could play say feghouli at LB BUT it would be horrible, enough said, , It's a terrible shame about cresswell, BUT it might be the wake up call needed, IRONMIKE.
24 Jul 2016 14:09:33
We definitely need to wake up and get a right back it's ridiculous to play Antonio there he is such a bull in a china shop (in a good way going forward) in the way he plays personally don't think he'll be able to change that style to be a right back this Is the one question mark I have against Slav, left back cover is a must also, as for strikers I think Phils favourite Ben yedder is a good shout and braitwaite, but I would like to see Bas dost and a bit controversially DEFO.
24 Jul 2016 17:33:04
What about Martin olsen at norwich.
24 Jul 2016 11:22:16
Lots of rumours about cresswell! Could be out between 4 weeks and 6 months, this could leave us in trouble as no real replacement.
24 Jul 2016 11:38:59
Wonderful so now we need lb and rb.
24 Jul 2016 08:56:17
I read all over that Swansea want bony back and are already in talks so we better be quick on that one. Loic remy who scored a hat trick two days ago in Chelsea 8-0 win is high on besiktas list to replace Mario gomez. Lyon identify Ben yedder as replacement for lacazette? Whoever we are looking at we best move fast.

Apparently we have placed £18m value on reece Oxford. If that's the case and that's what citeh value bony at would a swap deal not make sense. Also, I don't get why we were prepared to pay £40m for lacazette, £30m for batshuyai and £25m for bacca but won't pay £10m for Ben yedder? This kid us a goal machine.
