He’d argue that’s very good use of the money. Getting players in that suit his style and have good experience in the league (well for 2/3 off them). He’ll be out pretty quickly if it fails though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I don’t think they can sack Moyes now really, unless they’re in the bottom three. They must’ve decided to get the players he wants, so they’re all in now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 If you're getting JWP anyway, Maguire has to be a good signing. I wish our CBs were as effective on the end of free kicks. West Ham's job this year is to consolidate in midtable, and keeping it simple is one way to do it. Maguire was fine for England at the World Cup, so I don't think he is quite the liability he is made out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 It’s already been said in here but £30m for JWP seems like a really fair price given the market. It’s guaranteed goals +assists for a team like West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 2 hours ago, SUPERTOON said: So are West Ham looking at a midfield of Alvarez, Mctominay and JWP? That’s awful if so. West Ham don't really need a midfield, Moyes is basically a step up from the likes of Bruce and Pardew, but still old school at heart. Big physical players who can get stuck in, and get in where it hurts, and threat from set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyes is perfect for a mid-table club with not much aspirations above that status. Not good enough to challenge at the top end, but good enough to put together enough points to be a nuisance and stay clear of relegation spots.

The College Dropout Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 3 hours ago, KingArthur said: They suffered from it last season, despite scoring a lot. Their xG rating was third highest in the EPL. Couldn't score against ManU in FA Cup ultimately cost them the place in the final for example. We can discuss this during the season, seems pretty pointless to have this conversation now. Not meaning to be rude. You have now changed your point. you originally said: On 08/08/2023 at 10:10, KingArthur said: Problem with Brighton is, that there is often very little presence in the box. Usually Wellbeck or whoever the striker is ends up alone in there. So all the fine work they do to keep the ball and play pass the press, they still don't get to very dangerous positions. It is very nice to watch, but then suddenly nothing happens were it all matters. You originally said ‘they don’t get to very dangerous positions’ but now you’re positing evidence that disproves your original point and supports mine.
