Iceberg on the horizon

Despite the trumpeting of Tim Steidtens Arrival and what he supposedly brings i cannot help but think did we not hear the same on Rob Newman and look how that has turned out.....Moyes is the Iceberg on which the clubs fortunes will be sunk and keeping this man on will prove to be the biggest mistake we make this summer.

Our transfer business is meant to be driven by a four man cabal of Steidten Noble Sullivan and Moyes with the latter having the final say and veto on players he does not want.

Sullivan may ignore that and press on with players he likes as he has done in the past and we all know how that ends Moyes simply wont play them as they are not one of his Noble will try to get Academy players on the bench instead of the infamous second GK and Steidten well how long will he stay around if whats been sold to him turns out not to be gold but a polished turd.

I do believe the club are going to be suffering the same as we did last season and this time no trophy to end so have lessons been learned? i very much doubt it.

Moyes 2.0 they say West Ham will be a different kettle of fish a new style of play blah blah blah heard that last season but it was the players fault not the manager not the coaches so lets see how different this year will be and for me i only see us struggling.....bit of a downer give it a chance Bike i hear you say but honestly no matter who we recruit playing wise nothing will change because of the Iceberg in front of us and the ensuing disaster when it hits.

Believe it or not! but how many times in our clubs history have we been on the verge of something really special only for the club to lack ambition and sell the family jewels to the highest bidder 86 comes to mind.......and keeping the Moyesaurus for this season to come well it just smells of survival is all the board want before the alleged sale.

Think Steidman might have had a say in the way Declan was sold and a complete change from Dave Sullivan's attitude But is it him or the new Imput?. Big turnaround from the yesterdays of Payet -yeah you can have him For 20 mill - Haller, Yeah you can have him half of what we paid for him. Big- big change of direction for the way we handled the Rice deal- what we are supposed to be doing with the Scamacca deal,Whats the matter with Scamaca? But I get the iceberg bit not sure about Rob Newman and really surprised about Pat Nevin going Warburton, I wasn't worried about.
Instead of getting rid of their backroom staff, think they should be concentrating on getting Barnes and Gyokeres over the line instead of waiting for other teams like Newcastle to come along and Hi jack our deals. Rice is going tomorrow so let's get the business done NOW! Show us the Money, COYI

We are linked to INJURY prone players once more lessons learned? of course not this is West Ham after all.
Broja once more linked he did not want to come he got injured and basically missed last season Moyes rumoured to want him again and Chelski asking £40million errr no thank you is the answer especially when you read Chelski opened talks with the Gooners for Folarin Balogun who has been banging the goals in in France so beware Moyes if Chelski willing to sell one and buy another in you know we are getting the runt in the litter!

Another one imo who needs an arm round the shoulder who could be great for us, the talent is there & I bet he's raring to go...we bought Haller ffs for 45 mill & he can't be worse than him

Is taking a backseat in this transfer window as he "BEDS" in to his new surroundings and it leaves Moyes with the only say on transfers lol what a club.

Yes we want you Mr Steidten to revolutionise how we do things in the recruitment area can you start today you can lovely well we will give you 6 months to see just how we FUBAR the Rice money then let you sort the mess out in January and if you dont your fired as clearly you have no clue and Moyes deserves another contract!

great that you are keeping your sense of humour 65 but I think these things are serious so well done for getting it looked at!

I looked it up on the net, expecting it to be linked to stress like watching West Ham :o) it came back with:

While there may not be a cause for this type, there are some things that are common triggers. These triggers include:

sexual activity
physical activity
a bowel movement that causes you to strain
injury

would you like to expand on any of those :o)

Anyone see the story Sevilla looking to sell as they have financial problems and this man one of the Moyesaurus obsessions is available if he gets him and Lingard!! our manager will be happy and maybe crack a smile.

has said we have been linked with 130 players, by the time the window is closed it could reach 200. I can’t believe how much shit is peddled by so called journo’s that think they know what’s going on at West Ham when even the club don’t know. Moyes has one season to go on his contract if he lasts that long which I doubt so he shouldn’t be able to pick who he wants, we should be buying for the future. The veto on players is a joke and if it is up to Moyes we will spend all the Rice money on older players like JWP, Paulinho and Maguire and they will have sell on value, we should be going for 22-23-24 year old players that want make a name for themselves.
