Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Good appointment for West Ham, but their squad needs an overhaul if they are to play the Lind of football he wants his team to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Aye, their squad needs some major work. Was obvious they were going to have issues at the start of last season as they were only signing mercenaries on huge wages that were past their sell-by date (Arnautovic aside - still a mercenary though). Hope they repeat the same mistake and go down next season with a ridiculous wage bill. Awful club, awful fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Pellegrini is a great appointment for West Ham, and kudos for them going for it. He will give them stability, and look to push them onto the next level. I can’t see them being as weak as they have been this season under him.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 It’s an ambitious appointment, I’d be actually jealous if I were a Man Utd fan right now as he would have been a good suit for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got Villarreal into the top 3 of La Liga on more than one occasion and into the quarter final of the CL. If that's not impressive enough he then done pretty much the same with Malaga. Arni, Lanzini, Masuaku, Obiang and Javier Hernández is a good start to a top half team. It's certainly workable if he gets abit of money. Big if like.

If he can get them playing good football and looking for a top 7 position fans will be happy, but they need an injection of the right kind of players to play that way which will cost a lot of money and also a decent start. The owners must back him, no point getting someone like him if they don’t. I’d be very happy with him as our own manager, never mind as a West Ham manager.

Got Villareal to a CL semi final where Riquelme missed a penalty in the last few minutes iirc to get knocked out by Arsenal. With Malaga got to a quarter where they were ridiculously unlucky conceding two late goals, one of them offside against Dortmund the year Dortmund got to the final. Even got Man City to a CL semi final where they only got beat by a goal by Real and Real won the final. Got Real Madrid to a then club record points tally and only lost the league because it was Barca at their very best. Class manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 put it this way, if rafa stays and gets even mediocre backing we'll be finishing above them imo I wouldn’t be so confident. We overachieved this season and while the league isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, it will be much tougher next season. Unless we spend good money and address several key areas and issues, it’s another relegation fight for us even with Rafa. As good as Diame, Shelvey and Perez have been for example, they are at best average PL players capable of a purple patch. We need more, much more. We need recognised and proven quality. If we were to get an injury or two to any of our better players we would be fucked. I’d rather those better players of ours become squad players as that means our first-team will be much stronger. We don’t need a huge overhaul, just 3-4 real quality additions. We need more variety as well. Although Rafa likes to have two players for each position pretty much even keel in terms of what he wants from them so that will make having someone different or extra special a big ask...

Twinport53 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I read a stat before (probably on twitter) that Rafa has reduced our muscle related injuries by 60%+ compared to other PL seasons. It's the lowest rate of strains and tears we've ever had. Suppose it reinforces how fortunate we've been that Ayoze hasn't been out or Jamaal more than once etc as we have nowt else.

OCK Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 "We will also be resurfacing the artificial pitch inside the indoor facility. It will be a 4G surface which is much better for the players to train on; there is less impact on the body and less problems with injuries. "If our supporters play in their five-a-side teams perhaps, then they will know themselves the difference between a poor quality artificial pitch and a 4G pitch. Absolutely pathetic a Premier league club did not have a 4g pitch, laughable. They've been attempt to relay the indoor pitch for YEARS. It's awful like. The number of kids I've seen twist their ankles and knees on it, is insane. Our training facility was state of the art when it was built, but it was built 15 years ago. The advancements and understanding of Sports Science and Scouting since then have been immense. Our scouts work in a portacabin you'd see on a building site.
