Concerned

[Zatara]

I think sometimes folk are dissapointed and concerned because their expectations are on a different planet. Some folk saying we are going to have 7+ signings in one window......never realistically going to happen, and it will take us multiple windows to improve this squad if we are to bring in quality players.

How many did we sign last summer?

Don't think we were really in much of a 'relegation battle' last season to be honest. At least not after Moyes came in anyway.

Yeah Moyes did amazing with the tools he had so it was 2 and a half really.

 

[DayL08]

He also bought jarrod bowen for 20m.
Moyes is like every manager in the history of the game. He once bought a centre half who couldnt head the ball. Then went and got leighton baines.
It happens.

no doubt. But the fella who I replied to said Moyes would never buy garbage like Vlasic. Which of course he did.

Not this again. Go enjoy the summer

Don't know what people expected from dithering Dave and owners who see us as a disabled cousin.

@JobForTheMoyes will be along shortly to tell you that all of those bums were bought by Sullivan but that Bowen and Kudus were bought by Moyes.

It’s simply a fact. Vlasic was a Moyes blunder as he failed to land Lingard. That said, West Ham haven’t lost much as they don’t need to pay the Russian team that owned him at the moment! But most of the bad/overpaid for players (Mavropanos, Fullkrug, Todibo, Ings) were not Moyes picks.

Kudus was actually spotted by Mark Noble and Moyes then supported the signing. Same with Alvarez. And the director of football vetoed a move for McTominay, which royally annoyed Moyes.

Moyes made some bad signings, but they were able to largely cut their losses to a reasonable level on most.

8, four loans, four permanents.

Not all exciting marquee signings but was perfectly achievable even without a pot to piss in.

Speed / quality might be concerns but going back to the original point getting 7+ in the door is perfectly achievable.

I'd expect ten in total.

3 already here.
Couple of loans, 5 permanent signings.

He said how many bad signings. I took it he was talking in general.
Even Alex Ferguson signed the odd turkey.

 

[EFCPaul]

Didn’t Moyes buy Vlasic at West Ham for £20m+

Yeah, as a total panic buy after missing on Lingard. Which further backs up my point, if you rush into signings because you're worried about numbers then you end up with absolute turkeys. We can't afford anymore of those so patience is exactly what we need this summer. If we get this rebuild wrong then we set ourselves back years, AGAIN.

mate boring boring boring

It's going to be a sad day when you realise nothings changed and were fighting at the bottom again.

 

[Cels]

Can everyone get really anxious on here please.

[vinnie]

where are we going to magic all these players from who are 1 good enough 2 want to play for us .it will not happen overnight .we have about as much pull as sunderland atm so we have to trust davey moving forward . we will be comfortably midtable and it will take a few windows to build a good team

 

[Hellerad]

It’s frustrating to be hungry and have to wait for your meal to be set. That’s where we are as fans.

I am personally excited to have new players arrive and nervous to see their quality.

But I’m not the cook and I’m not paying the bill. So all I can do is wait.
