SUPERTOON

He isn't going to just stay here because of the fans. I have no doubt he loves the fans and connection he has, but he isn't putting up wit Ashley if he feels he can do better elsewhere just because of us. I'm not saying West Ham will be the club to lure him away, but if it's not them, I'm pretty certain another club will be a long soon and he will be off, and tbh you couldn't really blame him.

Hennessey would be absolutely the worst keeper we could sign. He's already worse than Elliot and Darlow.

Gary Neville absolutely destroying the Arsenal players. ?

This thread should be entertaining on Thursday.

See Mirallas has been left out as he is supposedly joining Olympiakos on loan.

Chelsea game on BT sport?

We won't sign him so I wouldn't worry.

It will be Kenedy on loan at best. We won't be getting multiple players in 4 days, especially after we won yesterday.

Hopefully Rafa uses this as leverage for some signings. Or we sign no one and he goes to West Ham. ? Should be a fun last 5 days of the window.

Not much if any goal threat in that team. Can see West Ham getting a few at the other end as well. Will be interesting to see the tactics Rafa employs, similar to spurs and I think although it could work well we really need a win, and the more we attack, the more West Ham will hurt us.

The lack of urgency and signings despite our awful start pretty much shows nothing major will happen.

Despite their bad start, West Ham actually have some quality players, we don't, and coupled with the negative atmosphere around the place I'm going for 1-3.

Tbh, not sure I even care what happens any more. Regardless if he stays or not, he (or any other top manager), can't work with Ashley. It will just be one saga after another and it has yet again become more stress then enjoyment supporting us.

Completely agree, aye Is he not trying to put some of the chaff in the shop window? He openly stated so in the press conference, anyone surprised or upset hasn't been listening. Still should be professional enough to win a home match against lower league opponents who've made a raft of changes themselves mind. Still don't agree with it though Dave. Could understand more if Ashley would take notice, but we all know he won't.

Paper. Cracks.

Nope, I can't even remember a time where we functioned as a normal club without any off field drama.

The worst thing is this is actually or back up if we get injuries to first team players who themselves aren't good enough.

He might be making a point, to bad our owner couldn't care less about tonight or any point being made by rafa.

Nice to see us take the cup seriously. Feels like the old days when the board told us not to bother.

I've never seen him, take it he isn't good then?

?

Must have been promised Schweinsteiger.

Atalanta then.

Exactly this. It is being overlooked just how bad a side we are. Arguably not one player in the squad good enough at this level, or certainly not proven.

The main summation is the glaring lack of quality throughout the whole squad.
