i was wondering what fellow hammers fans thought about a director of football.
i know we had one in the past under the biscuit baron and curbs I believe it was nani and it didn't work out.
recent transfer windows have shown us they we may have missed out on a lot of our targets also we failed to move on a number of players that would have freed up funds/wages for further transfers.
with a move to the o/s in the next few years on the cards and also looking at the potential sale of upton park.
this will mean g/s and kb will be extremely busy with the bizniz side of things we are going to need to find someone whom can work with bfs/g/s/kb
because let's have it right the transfer window strarted well for us with with a/c rat adrian all signing early then we really struggled to sign that 2nd striker we really needed and it didn't happen.
another season of an unbalanced side by that I mean last season we had 6 strikers yet still only played one upfront.
bfs said the other day about players he wanted sign ie lukuka defoe in the t/w,
defoe will score goals but where are you going to play him sam if you signed him??
there has been some good young talent out there that we missed out on why?
ie redmond/puncheon both can play lw /rw and behind the striker both would have been cheaper than downing and and wages wouldn't have been an issue.
so come jan if we are in the or around the bottom 3 questions must asked?
we have 3 strikers one injured one not fit and one not interested.
and I ain't being negative.
there is talk we are also tracking another striker along with spuds/arsenal if true funny how wages are now becoming available.



I have to say there is a lot of truth in waht you say! The "No Wages" issue has raised its ugly head again when I think its fairly clear that we did have wages but they already had certain targets in mind for the final day ie Lukaku who was a great shout but where was the contingency plan



Hope we have a contingency plan if we get beat by Hull next match. We got tough run after that with Spuds and Man City amongst them. At the same time last year we had a few more points than we do now
