So let's get down to the nitty gritty.

What's his tracking back like?

I like Mel a lot, hope he can make the jump to a different league

 

Betis were one of the most pleasing teams in La Liga to watch. Very daring too.

Seems an interesting appointment.

If West Brom are able to get this kind of manager, then there is no reason why we can't.

That's why it's a bit frustrating when people say "No one would want to come here" or "Who would we get" when folks want Pardew replaced.

Obviously, there's no certainty he will be good, but still the guy appears to have some pedigree, and a far more positive approach.

You look at the likes of Pochettino at Southampton, and the difference he made straight away, and you can't help but wonder.

Legs working under the water 

Who talks like this?

West Ham are so horribly put together. They hardly have any assets on the field whatsoever, as far as players with any quality/promise go. Despite the money Fat Sam has spent, or should we say wasted.

Diame and Morrison and that's about it really.

Custis was on SSN this morning doing the morning paper review...He obviously thinks Sam is in trouble but started blaming the players.

 

Aye ok, its never Sam's fault.  :lol:

 

 

I swear some of these managers pay off their pals in the press.

£18m for de Bruyne? What the f***??

 

Wouldnt pay £1.8m after seeing him a few times time season

Aye that's it... judge him on those few appearances

I was about to say that was incredibly harsh 

wonder if these will try to get barkley?  be the best signing they could make imho

Why didn't Moyes give that kid more opportunities to play at Everton by the way?

I remember him looking decent in a few cameos, a good few years ago now, but he then disappeared.

Love to see what Pep could do at a club that didn't just have all the best players.

It's all a bit silly otherwise. I mean seriously, why are these idiot players even agreeing to all go there?

Liking the new thread title 

Never seen that before. That's messed up. Poor Milner.

We're told West Ham remain in advanced talks with Inter Milan over striker Ishak Belfodil #whufc

That's all Sam was looking at. Just needs a bonce for the high balls to bounce off of. 

Nearly 29 as well, can imagine he'll be after a pay day with a long-ish term contract if he's going to go for nowt. I'd rather pass and look elsewhere unless we could do a deal for a couple years.

Yup, good points. I think for these reasons, the club has moved on.

Just remembered that this has been going on since pre-season, when they were looking poor against Chinese teams etc. 

Yeah, the defenders struggled.

I was concerned about Debuchy, looked completely out of his depth.

"Man Utd boss David Moyes among the nominees for the Barclays Premier League manager of the month for December"

 

wat

 

They did win 4 in a row in December and drew at Spurs, why shouldnt he be a nominee?

He should, however the timing is terrible, and makes it look like they're taking the p*ss almost 

They really need to determine that earlier.

I think I hate this guy.

Sham Allardyce. I like it.

They'll win the Champions League in the next 3-4 years.

 

I don't think they will.

 

They just keep buying, and don't seem to be allowing any of these players to settle into a cohesive group.

 

Pretty cohesive to me. Ok, they've done some errors at first, like ManCity did (Robinho, Balotelli) but now they recruitment seems coherent, Marquinhos, Digne, now Griezmann and maybe Pogba, they targeting young player with massive potential for a long term vision.

So what are they going to do with the previous set of players?

How long will it be before they ditch these young promising ones you speak of?

Not convinced. Like Man City I think they'll be a threat in their league, but won't do much in the Champions League ultimately.

Sam was a mess. If he doesn't have his big lummox upfront he doesn't know what to do.

Our best strikers at the time were two midgets, and it scrambled his brain.

I remember Oba being shunted out wide of a 4-3-3, and I can't even remember what he did with Owen. It was just silly.

All these years later, and it's the same at West Ham. Pining away for Carroll to come and save him.

They'll win the Champions League in the next 3-4 years.

I don't think they will.

They just keep buying, and don't seem to be allowing any of these players to settle into a cohesive group.

Miss this lad barn storming for us. His career post being sold to Liverpool has been f***ing s***.

We are going to get him back this summer for peanuts, once West Ham fold, and he'll magically return to form.

SAF let Pogba go for free...Probably one of the finest midfield prospects in euro football. Paid 25m for RVP who was nearly 30.

Problems have been building up for a while...Then drop Gollum into the minefield.

Van Persie has been injured the majority of every season bar the last one, it was almost a miracle.

All that hard running for Moyes has done him in once again though.

What a beautiful mess.

Fair enough, but I'm fairly certain it is true.

Bullshit.

 

Man ... you are in denial.

Moyes has been taking swipes at the players all season, the mud slinging is in full swing now.
