ri Alban Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 If they sign McTomaney, MaGuire, Alvares and Ward-Prowse, they'll push for the top 5. I don't usually bother about the EPL, but thought that this was very good business, if they manage to sign these players. Any predictions on who'll maybe surprise folk. Villa and the Hammers are my dark horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Cannot see them being anywhere near top 5 and getting into Champions League. If McTom leaves Man Utd, he can look to a side far bigger than West Ham too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Hmm. Few good signings but I'm not sure they'll be as strong as you think. Was delighted to see David Moyes win the Conference League and I think he's a good manager, but quite a few Hammers fans aren't big fans of him and I think as controversial as it could be, he might be gone before the end of the season. If they spend a bit of money with a view to kicking on further, but he can't get a tune out the players or get consistent results, then winning a European trophy could ultimately prove to be his demise as he'll be expected to build on that. Even if they get all the players they're linked with, they've lost Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta also seems to be heavily linked with moving away. 2 of the stars of that European run.

Dalstonjambo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I know a lot of West Ham fans down here. Every single one of them think they are likely to struggle and most think they will go down. They also almost all want Moyes gone. Think that’s overkill but I don’t watch them every week. Harry Maguire however is an awful footballer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamhammer Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 West Ham, even with Declan Rice we’re mostly feckin horrendous last season Yes they won the Conf but even that final was like having your fingernails pulled out until the last few minutes. I like McTominay and he brings an energy the midfield lacks Ward Prowse doesn’t but, even for his set pieces he’s worth a punt I don’t know Alvarez and I can take or leave Maguire but Moyes will not change. We’ll surrender possession We’ll be pasdive We’ll be pedestrian We will lose as many games as we did last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 My goodness, I think someone has been on mind altering substances with all due respect. West Ham are nowhere near top 5 and will struggle to stay in the EPL this season. All IMO of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 They won't even be top half. There are 8 absolute certainties for top 10: Man City Liverpool Arsenal Newcastle Man Utd Chelsea Aston Villa Spurs Then I reckon 2 from 3 for 9th and 10th: Brighton Brentford Crystal Palce Then them and a few others in no mans land: Fulham West Ham Bournemouth Notts Forest Then the relegation candidates: Everton Wolves Burnley Sheffield Utd Luton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous 1874 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I’m not sure West Ham signing any players who don’t start for any of the top 5 is going to move them any closer to the top 5… They’ll be bottom half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually have an English side. If I did I'd probably say Wednesday. Palace and West Ham probably my preferred London clubs. I have however made it my mission to denounce Spurs and their inflated self worth at any opportunity. Anyone says "Big Six" I'm straight in there with "well akshyually Rich Six is more accurate". And we all remember when they tried to sneak into the Super League with the big boys. Who were they trying to kid?

jambo1975 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Controversial opinion here but I feel Maguire was chucked in way out his depth. Record fee for a cb, captian in a team with Ronaldo.

Carl Fredrickson Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Maguire was a very good player up until the Greece court case. Since then his performances have been erratic to say the least. McTominay is a great player who probably doesnt get the credit down south that he deserves. West Ham though will struggle. Moyes has one way of playing and teams like Brentford and Brighton are way ahead (IMO) in recruitment and playing style. A good season for WHU will be a top 10 finish but will be surprised if they manage that with Moyes as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Treasurer Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 If West Ham have a good season, which I think unlikely without at least one more striker, they will push for a euro place at best I'd be happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaShango Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 No chance West Ham are getting top 5. They will be lucky to be top half of the table IMO. Other sides are way ahead of them, Newcastle, Spurs, City, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa, Brighton, Brentford. There is just 9 off the top of my head who will all finish above them this season.
