David Moyes - Taking a knife to a gunfight at West Ham, Part 2

[roydo]

How can West Ham spend like almost £170m in a window I wondered.

Sell Gordon then we can afford this guy.

In what sense? From an accounting/P&L one, or where has the cash come from?

They came much higher than us in the league, are in Europe and have a massive stadium that they pay nothing for?

I don’t know I am not the accountant of the club. I just think the Brazilian lad can improve our attack instantly while we are betting on Gordon’s potential which could or could not be fulfilled. £60m is insane money from Chelsea, if true.

Still, to spend that amount is absolutely madness. They must be on the edge to break ffp.

They have a crown jewel in Declan Rice and he will be sold in the next 12 months maybe this window! Liverpool are after a midfielder??

Am jealous.

Spot on. Think this season is about trying to break top 6 before they sell Rice next season.

Paqueta is a hell of a signing though. Even when we had the cash we weren’t targeting that calibre of player.

The Moyes masterplan in action - a slow start followed by a back-to-basics spawny win. Now it looks like he has found a new Arteta, so they will inevitably get to a couple of semis and finish sixth or seventh.

We almost signed Riquelme a few times!

I didn't realise until I heard it on a podcast a while back but they're averaging around the 60,000 mark at home games. That's gotta generate a good chunk of income.

They sit 7th in the list as highest net spenders in Europe, in the last 10 years.

Even if they sold Rice for £100 million, they would still be above Bayern Munich.

Not when they charge £8 for a pint and £4 for a Mars bar mate, there are some huge issues with that place.

Their rev is about the same as ours, maybe a tad higher.

But not much in it really.

Looked a better side than Spurs at the end. Kehrer looks like a classic Moyes bargain.

Everything's at London prices as well.
Sausage roll sir, that'll be £6.50 please
