DCJonah Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 We replaced the injured players and added an extra striker. Disappointed we've lost a defender for no real reason and would have liked a wide player. Over to Dean Smith. Let's hope we stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I don't think Bowen is even that great, he's a goal scorer that happens to play on the wing doesn't do that much else, isn't particularly fast, isn't very skillful, he's done better this season but doesn't provide many assists, and I'm not sure he'll score anywhere near as many goals for West Ham just because of the fact that unlike at Hull he won't be the main focal point of the team. That's not to say he's a bad player, or I wouldn't have liked him here, I just have my doubts that he's anywhere near as good as some seem to think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison was 20 million after 1 good season, Bowen has scored 38 goals and got 10 assists in the last season and a half. People wanted 40+ million for grealish over a year ago after a good half season when he didn't even know what that white thing at either end of the pitch was Edited January 31, 2020 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Maddison has a much much better all round game than Bowen, McCormack was getting plenty of goals and assists before we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snodgrass wouldn't work in a 343 and West Ham are in a state for reasons. He belongs in Championship really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 i take it there are no rumours about any transfers or than Bojan? seems strange we didnt replace Chester, unless Deano thinks Revan could step up if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo hoo he's unproven in the prem say the same people that said exactly the same about Abraham in the summer Possibly but you could say that about any player we get priced out of signing. I don't think we could afford the package West Ham are offering right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Snoddy will keep Bowen out the team. He’ll play a few games, score no goals and end up getting loaned to Steve Bruce’s Reading side next season, following West Ham’s disastrous relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the wages. 80k for a player who has done bugger all at the top table is nuts. Half that figure is pushing it, and for a potential relegation candidate to agree to that kind of contract with no relegation clause in it is completely mental. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows the wages or what terms are in the contract. it was 50k earlier, then 60, then 80. Bt the time the window slams shut it will be 150k & a daily blowjob from Brady & By tomorrow he'll be making alexis Sanchez look like he's on minimum wage Edited January 31, 2020 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It's not Snodgrass's fault that they're relegation material, just like it's not Grealish's or any other single player's fault that we could also be considered relegation material. Also Snodgrass is a lot fitter since leaving us, as he was put on a strict fitness regime by Pellegrini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester hasn't played a minute in the league all season. If we have to resort to free agents I guess that's what we'll do with all the catastrophic injuries people are predicting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snodgrass said himself he struggled a bit with us due to sitting in his car for 4/5 hours every day getting to & from training & just eating service station crap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
