wilko154 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 We needed to compliment our signings with some experienced, almost boring players. Cahill would have been perfect at centre back alongside Mings. He's excelled for Palace this season. Jedinak or Whelan should have been kept. They wouldn't have seen much game time but would have been huge in the dressing room. Either could have been brought on late in games to see out games from a physical and mental side. Up front and on the wings we could have done with an experienced player who's been there and done it. We are so short in that department and it shows every single week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snodgrass aswell could've been an option, loved his time here and done o.k for West Ham last two seasons at this level so would've been more consistant than Trez.

The ultimate "don't give the ball to me" kinda player I've ever seen. He is utter dross. When you're scouting a player: Is he a good passer: no, not really. Is he good in possession: no, not really - consistently makes mistakes. Is he partiularly quick: no. Is he creative or can score a goal: no. Is he good at heading the ball: no not particularly. Yeah, let's sign him up. Apart from being able to tackle a bit I see pure mediocrity! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I genuinely don’t think we could have done much worse than we did in the transfer window. Utterly, utterly dreadful. Whoever was responsible should be held accountable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Most of the signings were poor. I said at the time we should have looked at players like Albrighton, Snodgrass and Lolley. They'd have certainly at least had a go and put up a fight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board went for the young and hungry approach with the potential of resell value. Short term pain for long term gain. Although relegation just messes up the entire plan. Losing our best players like McGinn and Grealish means we'll have a big mountain to climb to get back to where we want to be. We have to hope the ones we manage to keep find their feet in the Championship, gain confidence and are better equipped mentally if we go straight back up.

Demitri_C Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Nakambas crap. He just chases and tackles. Half the time he tackles badly. I dont know how the hell they thought he is premie league level ill never know. The aame applies with trezuget wesley and potentially samatta. All player signed abaroad and gambles that has failed miserably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All player signed abaroad and gambles that has failed miserably I struggle to know what type of player he is. How and where did he play in Belgium? Is he box to box? Is he a ball winning def midfielder? I still have got no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Ken McNaughts Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Gotta love the sheer madness of the idea that all these overpriced, under-skilled players are magically going to increase in value by virtue of being “young”. Ain’t running a football club easy, eh? Oops! Nosediving towards the Championship and massive cut-price fire sale on the way. So that went well.

UTV Lolley has dipped a bit this season to be fair, but he wouldn't have been worse than Trez and Jota Snoddy has had 2 decent seasons at West Ham - certainly better than any of our wide players, Jack apart, have done. I'd rather have Hutton on the wing than Trez! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the We're Doing A Fulham chants when we're three goals up against Wolves. Starting with last week's classic from Fat Sam. https://talksport.com/football/577298/aston-villa-fulham-spending-summer/ Keep them coming... This aged well...

But they will because Owners and those in charge of clubs are daft or if it actually pulls off you have a fantastic run in you so its risk and reward. You dont pull it off and you look to be a bunch of clowns playing football which is what we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
