So that's Perez, Carroll and Arnie gone. Are we really any worse off without them?
No and actually, looking forward to seeing a new approach to the season without worrying about Arnie's antics and a medical bench being booked out for the season.
Couple more to go and we can look forward to a strong season with a couple of new strong team members. Not prima Donna's.

I agree with you Steve I posted a while ago that I would have liked to have kept Perez for off the bench appearances he didn't do that badly when he did that last season.

Well we definitely need at least 2 new strikers that´s for sure and for me a LB and DM as we are short in quality in those 2 positions.

Spot on Steve. Whilst we don’t yet know about the strikers coming in (and I certainly put my trust in MP and H), getting shot of last season’s front men and having a fresh start with players chosen by the current management just feels really exciting.

With the attacking midfield rejuvenated by the return of Lanzini, Wilshere and Yarmolenko, and the exciting addition of Fornals - next season is going to be a blast!

Guys been a while . personally I'd be all over Franck Kessie who would be awesome with Rice and Fornals. Lanzini could play further forward as can Antonio and Yarmalenko providing back up to any 3 of Hernandez, Gomez Rondon and yes Balotelli who is rarely injured, pl experienced, on form and yes a troublesome character but so was Di Canio!

Yes, I like Kessie, but I’m pretty sure he’s a character as well. I seem to remember something about a punch up with a team mate, but I might be wrong. He can certainly play and would be great beside, or sitting just in front of, Rice.

The west ham way is to waste all summer chasing a no1 striker target a la lacazette and bacca and dendoncker and then panic buy at the end.

That’s the old West Ham way, Mac. Things are different now.
