When West Ham signed Pablo Fornals, it was seen as a bit of a coup to grab the Spanish international destined for great things, he wasn't even in the Hammers squad that laid down and rolled over for Manchester City during the 2-0 defeat at the Etihad!
In addition to £24 Million midfielder Fornals, David 'I win games' Moyes also elected to omit £45 Million Sebastien Haller, fit gain £42 Million Felipe Anderson and £24 Million new arrival Jarrod Bowen. Bowen got the last few minutes when the game was already beyond rescuing, neither Haller nor Anderson even made the pitch.
An old colleague of ours in Brasil got in touch to say there was a caption relating to West Ham headed 'Irons So 'Wealthy' Moyes Can Leave £135 Million Of Talent', yes believe it or not West Ham are followed by many in South America, and they cannot believe what is going on at the London Stadium.
Neither can we, all we know is that Moyes is proving he is clearly not the right man to take the club forward, problem is who is? - Ed

It was obvious
That Moyes wasn't the right man for the job last time round. Funny thing is, out of all the managers the dildo bros have had in their employment, Zola, Grant, Allardyce, Bilic, Pelligrini and Moyes, twice, the only one with any modicum of success was hounded out by the fans. Did you ask, who is?
Bilic ?
Hahahaha. You should be a stand up comic. You'd rake in the crowds
The only decent manager
Out of that lot was slav hes doing alright at West Brom I see!
Thats the painful part about
Thats the painful part about it 65,we had one good season with him,the last season at the Boleyn,then we left and the rot set in,and its been with us ever since.
Certainly has Essex
The rot set in soon as we left U.P
The rot set in
When Brown left in my opinion
Well
Lets see how well Slav does with WBA if they do get in the Premier League. You can't say Slav was a success at WHU because of his one high finish off the back of the previous managers team. After all, we all know what happened whe n he got his boys in. Nordveit for example
Fair enough
But you say Sam was a success,one season where he got us up sneaking into the play offs & the final against blackpool who were the better side.slav got us beating the likes of citeh,liverpool twice...maybe slav had to go in the end,I havnt a problem with that but your infatuation with Allardyce is strange imo he has never been a decent manager & was never a success at westham
Ditto

Are we measuring our success
Are we measuring our success in regards to getting promoted via playoffs from the Championship?
Yes Deluded,i can see his
Yes Deluded,i can see his picture,and where i sat in the lower tier of the Alpari stand at The Boleyn, he was universally hated,and was showered with obscenities constantly,this is a case now of be careful what you wish for.
Haller
Deserved to be left on the bench as he has been ineffectual all season but i think we all realise Moyes is not looking at Citeh or bindippers as matches we could draw let alone win so he is hanging his hat on more winnable fixtures to get us to safety so not wanting to risk to many players considering our injury record...risky yes of course it is as nothing is certain and BFS was someone who always picked his sides on the games he new he could win against ones he new not much hope of.....
We've all been calling
for Haller, Fornals and Anderson to be dropped for lack of effort. Yet Moyes is criticised for doing so. He could also have included a few others in that respect! My beef about him was his total negativity. Our defence just isn't good enough to be able to play that way.
Look bike Moyes is a one up
Look bike Moyes is a one up front man ,always has been ,Haller has always played in a 2 up front formation ,the 1 up is from a another era ,it's as predictable as it is ineffective, i cant see the point in blaming Haller for our woes ,if so you have to lay the blame for the fiasco at Monday at Ants door ,its just one dimensional football we played it when Carroll played with us ,lob the ball up and hope for the best
Spot on burkie
If I was picking the team for tomorrow i would start Anderson bowen haller & ants,tell them to all out attack...it will be a training ground exercise for the scouse & at least we could see if it works for us!
Maybe in moyes eyes that was
Maybe in moyes eyes that was 135 bob left on the bench ;)
With so much attacking
With so much attacking "talent" why are we opting to defend? Surely losing 4-3 is better than bending over and taking 2 in the 0 unless it's for one of Sully's new movies?
Well said Moore2 and 65,we
Well said Moore2 and 65,we need to attack tonight,like as you say we have been rear ended for too long now.
