Change the record with your negative clap trap! Ed02 has said so many times on here money is tight and doesn’t grow on trees . there are 4 weeks until the end of the transfer window so time to buy and more importantly move players on. Owning a business is tough at the best of times but throw a virus into the mix .

We will buy a couple of defensive stalwarts. We’ve got plenty in attack.

I with you on this markro let moyes get in the defensive cover we need we lost more games from winning positions than any other PL team part of that was based upon losing our no1 GK and finding out his back up was useless. There were rumors that diagrana May go back out on loan but it’s a position we have well covered and they decided to cash in because we defensive cover . I’d really like us to start playing to our strengths ie let's have natural left footer on the left and on the same on the right let's play with some width instead of an unbalanced side right footed players playing on the feel the need to always cut inside narrowing our attack making it easy to defend against. haller definitely will get goals if he gets good service and support whether that Antonio Bowen Anderson yarmerlenko everyone seems to panicking about our fixtures list if we bring in the right players make us hard to beat don't give the ball away cheaply in the final 3rd with the top sides you can’t let them get back in position and then try to play through them perfect example man city last season city would concede a cheap foul to break up play when we did get into an advanced area we was slow to use the playing out side etc play would break down and they would counter attack swiftly while we are slow to get back.

Good post bkk. I quite like wingers swapping flanks during the game to add variety and cause different problems for defences.

As we are both saying - we MUST sort out our defence.

I sense a lot of trouble in the camp and our 5-3 defeat to relegated bournemouth today summed it all up. We are a shambles both on and more importantly off the pitch and this debacle cannot continue.

Bonzo53, and I've supported West Ham for 40 years . I also run my own business though therefore can empathise with dgs’ situation. Its bad enough watching something that cost you millions stroll around a football pitch being so ineffective that nobody wants to buy him (Andersen) but when the sale of crotchless knickers and rubber dolls fall through the floor as well you know you're in big trouble! i'm no fan of theirs but constant negativity from fans and players, in my oppinion Noble was totally wrong in his public statement, it should have been a quiet word, is not going to make them sell . They will just do what they do dig their heels in and make decisions that spite the fans because they can .

Sorry Dabber i don't agree I've been with WH for 64 years and if the players see something is not right let the fans know also we are 2oth richest club in the world and 9th richest in the football league if the manger is against the sale of a young WH player why not speak out We all share the same view youth is the way to go but not by selling home grown players.


11.) 06 Sep 2020

Bideford, totally agree that youth is the way forward but nobody wants to buy the 2 attacking forwards that are surplus to requirement and expensive on the payroll, Lanzini and Andersen, we can't shift them. We all know how desperate we are for quality at the back as does the rest of the footballing world . Rico Henry won't come cheap neither will Tarkowski, Stones or the Japanese lad from Bologna. We need at least 3 more defenders and have to sell to buy. The problem is you can only sell what people are prepared to buy and at the moment those players are Diagana, Rice or Diop. My original response to Bonzo was about judging us negatively now when there is still 4 weeks of the transfer window left. He was right though we need defenders but unfortunately selling Diagana was one of the only ways those purchases could be made.

I agree with Dabber completely. I’ve been on this site for about 5 years now and even though it makes no difference have been a fan for 45 years.
This game has changed lads and it’s not business and not a sport. Players no longer cost £10m for a class act but a minimum of £20m for a mediocre player.
Our owners are of course wealthy blokes but don’t have bottomless pockets. Have you all forgotten about the virus and the impact this has had not only on our club but on the other business interests that DGS have. Would you rather they laid of 1000’s of employees from other businesses just to finance the club to appease the fans who buy a West Ham shirt once a year and are long time supporters. How about the people in the other businesses they have that have worked for them for decades. How about that loyalty? I don’t care if you lads come back and argue the point. This game is not that important that we should castigate owners who are trying to stabilise our club financially in difficult times and with a season approaching that more than likely won’t generate gate receipts ( and consequently no sales at the shop.
These are unprecedented times and tough for ALL businesses. Don’t worry about which league we end up playing in, worry about our survival as a club. Don’t forget who bailed us out of financial ruin after Icelandic’s cocked up our finances and left the club in a mess.
Who spent all the money on Haller, Anderson, Fornals, yarmalenko, Bowen etc. Which equates to £150m in spend in two years.
Let’s get through this the virus crisis and then re-evaluate the value of DGS.

COYI!

I have to say I am with dabbed iron, why is everyone so negative!
Ultimately it is a business and it’s tough, maybe all the haters should get together and buy them out, a simple solution.
Did Diangana set the premier league alight last time in the premier league, don’t get me wrong he is good but £18 million is good money.

Let’s just see how the first couple of months go and remember where we were under Egghead and the Icelandic’s, nearly bust!
There may have been unrealistic claims about champions league football but we are stable now, we all want to see West Ham win something but not the end of the world.
COYI.

The voice of reason, COYI64. As you say, there have never been times like these and we don’t know the real financial circumstances of the club. Like everyone else I’m looking forward to the new season (I always do) and I am convinced we have a talented squad. I don’t expect us to win the Prem, I’m just hoping we play some decent football and win enough games to consolidate a decent mid-table finish.

{Ed002's Note - The club will be suffering losses from the pandemic - like all clubs.}

Markro couldn’t have said it better it’s funny I can look at one of our teams n go we are up for this just by there attitude all I ask is a balanced squad n they put in 100 percent nothing worse than watching a player lose the ballon trot back I want to see commitment we are under the cost but we are throwing bodies in front of the ball Desire!

Gds always take out loans and act as guarantees to those loans given that our income has been in different ways the only players who’s value may have increased would be rice Antonio not by much n diop.

I'm torn between a rock and a hard place on the NOBLE venting his disagreement over the sale of DIANGANA as I know two wrongs don't make a right but sully and Brady not so much gold always air their dirty laundry so I ain't against NOBLE showing passion. COYI.

Sorry Ed if you've cleared this up already but hasn't TSARWOSKI got a £50 million euro release clause in any sale and the chances of DYCHE letting him leave especially to another PREMIER LEAGUE club is next to nothing but will will still pursue it till the end then SULLIVAN can say we tried. COYI.
