West ham have a better manager and a good group of players.
Even the teams coming up have decent players.
Do they? Now this is just me playing devils advocate but lets have a go
Goalkeeper - i like
Fabianski, so they have improved there
Defence -
Fredricks only became a regular for Fulham last season, could easily do a Sam Byram, never played in the prem
Diop, although he is rated by some - over the years so was Ogbonna, Martins Indi, Zouma, Wimmer, Hoedt etc etc, could be good, could just be another premier league centre half. Even if he is good Sakho, Lascelles, Tarkowski, Mee, Prodl are all good centre halfs at lower placed teams
Balbuena- 26 and not moved to europe yet? Bit of a Funes Mori whiff aint there
Already there they have Ogbonna who hasent pulled up trees, Reid who is old nad injured, Zabletta is old too, Rice is good but young and Cresswell is ok.
Midfield
Whilshere on his day is a good player but can be seen as lightweight, plus would he be getting in Nobles way? And he had a poor time at Bournemouth, Lanzini is injured and Koyate and Fernanded and Obiang are all a little "meh", Masuaka is a decent player
Forwards
Yarmalenko flunked in the bundesliga so whats to say he wouldnt flunk here?
Felipe Anderson is a good player to have but abit like us with sigurdsson, is he going to be that player they rely on, because he has never been that at lazio, he has always been the supporting cast with goals and assists nothing outstanding
Hernandez is old and i very much doubt he will be there much longer, Carroll is injured, Antonio a poo and Arnautovic although there best player last season has roven in the past he can blow hot & cold.
So basically its a lot of question marks one way or another
This is not me saying i am 100% right, like some people would on here but there is no evidence to say West Ham are going to be better than us next season.
How many of them would you swap our players for?
That dosent mean they wont, but id say its unlikely
