Top 8 would be considered a good finish for them regardless, no? 

 

With the current squad, while being in Europe, then yes. But 8th is just a maybe for me, and I really doubt it will be higher.

because there’s an odd obsession on N-O with everything they do. It’s tiresome. 

 

Well we hired their DoF so there's obviously going to be some comparison. I don't think there's been any more talk on here about them than on Twitter.

 

Think they're just an interestingly run club. Better than dregs like Norwich or WBA in the league

Personally I just remember from early on in the window that some users on here expected them to stay amongst the top teams for years, because they would just reinvest their money in new Caicedos and MacAllisters like it's easy for them. There's still time to bring in more players, but I'm not sure if Milner and Joao Pedro is going to be the next Caicedo/MacAllister/Bissouma type of signings.. That's what I mean about overhyping them in here.

If you judge all their signings on paper then they're always underwhelming. No one here had any ideas about how good players like Mitoma, Caceido, MacAllister would be

 

They can't keep hitting jackpot forever. There are some good players in there still, some good youngsters aswell, but when your wage budget is that low it's very hard to stay up there for a long time. This is actually something that they brought up in the documentary about us on amazon prime.

 

That being said, I'm sure they could end up becoming a stable mid table team. I just don't see them becoming a regular European side.

From his Everton days Moyes did seem to follow a poor season up by a good one. Looks like he's copying the same pattern for Wham.

 

He's a great manager if mid-table obscurity is your aim. West Ham are stuck with him now because he won them a cup so their fans have at least one more season of dull, physical football to look forward to.

I'm sure some of their fans are experiencing the same paradox that we did sometimes, almost hoping that they will do worse at times so that there's a chance they will change manager.

Was he playing upfront again today? Such an odd signing.

 

Midfield I think.

 

Arteta has moved Partey to right back, dropped Gabriel and was playing Kwior at left back today just to accomodate Havertz in midfield

Trying too hard to copy Pep sounds like. Doesn’t seem to make any sense enen if they’ve got injuries.
