KaKa Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Ward Prowse not just scoring from set pieces but whipping them in for the likes of Alvarez, Maguire, McTominay, Soucek and Zouma. If Paqueta leaves and they get a physical striker to replace Scammacca leaving, as well as a left winger to provide what Bowen does on the right, West Ham are getting into Europe. Moyes ball might not be the most inspiring, but when he has his players it is effective and tough to play against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Replacing Rice and Paqueta with Alvarez, McTominay and JWP would be something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I do like JWP and McTominay (to a lesser degree) but agree they’re not exactly improving on Rice with those additions. Although, as another poster has said, you can’t replace a player of Rice’s quality if you’re a team like West Ham. Their only hope would be to unearth a Caceido-like gem but that’s much easier said than done - especially without the proper scouting network.

Not to say they won’t have a good season. I’m just not totally convinced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just not totally convinced. There's always going to be different approaches/styles to the game and it will always depend on how well those approaches are drilled and how effective the players at the club can play that style. Brentford battered Man City last season playing a more direct physical style. I really don't like Moyes getting these players for the way he likes to play. They are a very good fit.

Long term it doesn’t seem a good idea to have Moyes asking for these types of players. Maybe they’re just too worried about replacing him and rolling the dice on relegation again. Needed to identify and hire their Howe/De Zerbi, start negotiations for the players he wants, then sell Rice. West Ham are probably better off this way. If they fired Moyes, they’d probably hire Jesse Marsch or some such. Sill better than Leeds. Hire Marsch, buy the players he wants, immediately fire him.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 You’d think West Ham will hold out for £80m - £100m seeing as they only just signed him for £60m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 If you are West Ham and you think Man City are going to take Paqueta, surely you have to bite the bullet and go and get your main midfield targets now. You don't wait for Paqueta to leave and THEN see what's available. Paqueta is always going to be a saleable asset. Not that need the funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 If I were Man City, I'd have signed Maddison over Paqueta. I thought Maddison had played his way into City interest last season and that they would rival us for his signature, not Spurs. As for Chelsea and Man U, Captain Hindsight says that if you're going to sign a striker not available at the start of the season, the one to buy was Ivan Toney.
