thoughts on the Hammers this season?

i think they've made some good signings but it seems a bit silly to me that they're signing such old players considering they lack youth as is.

Hart is 30, Arnautivic 28, Zabelata 32, Chicha 29.

not to mention Fonte who is 33.

they're fairly decent on paper but not really good enough to challenge for a top 6 finish and they don't have very long to do so with this core.

Nothing special. Mid table at best.

probably. seems like a waste of money though considering they would be a mid-table team regardless. invest in some mother ****ing youth ya ****s.


what's the scoop on villa? seems like they're gonna just try again with the same team and hope for a better turn out. cant imagine they stay down another season but they're still not a premier league ready side tbf.

Yep. Chicharito isn't my type of striker but he is a good signing for that price, Zaba a good one too. The others are gash.

By far the best squad in the championship.

We've signed Samba, Elmohamady and Glenn Whelan. JT is a big signing for us I think, we're good in defence and didn't concede too many last season the problem was scoring goals. Got Johnstone back on loan. See what business is left to be done but if we don't make it this season we don't deserve to go up, we've had enough time and investment.

If we start well, we're up imo. Arrogant but we proved we can go on good runs last season, we blew it over Christmas and cos of our bad start.

I'll say we will make the playoffs at least.

didn't know you nabbed him, he's nice.

really hope you go up. i can't be bothered watching the Championship but i miss watching Villa play. i would just hate to see it be one of those scenarios where you go up, get demolished, and end up right back in the Championship again.

Na I think we'd be OK. The Doc will back us but we need to do it this year because I don't want him to lose patience.

Wolves are one to keep an eye on I think. Their owner is one of the richest in England, they're doing their ground at the moment, just rebuilt one stand, planning for two more and it looks impressive.

They have a unique brand as well imo. Black and gold kit, and their name/crest is something I can see appealing in the US. I'd love to see them do well.

obv the bale to united rumours are bs but let it happen plz

Matic is a ****ing huuuge signing. Starting 11 is looking a bit better now. still need 1 or 2 signings but we're getting there.

£140m already. Still a month to go.
