How Many More Out The Door?

Ryan Fredericks, Andriy Yarmolenko, Mark Noble AND how many more will be out the door when the transfer window opens? Fredericks, Noble and Yarmolenko are definitely leaving the club as their respective contracts end, with the exception of Noble the club do hold the option to extend the contracts by a further year but will not be exercising that facility.

The glaring need for a left back, a centre back and of course the Elephant in the room a striker or TWO, obscures the fact that the club needs at least TWO top players for every position if it is to continue to aspire to regular top six finishes, the club needs new players just to stand still, let alone progress!

The acquisition of Alphonse Areola on a permanent deal from PSG looks as if it is a goer, so it should be because Areola is the future, Fabianski cannot go on for ever and the roles will be reversed for both keepers during next season or even before. Areola's arrival all but confirms Darren Randolph's departure, the club might even get a couple of Million for him and will be looking to move him on at the earliest opportunity.

Authur Masuaku is probably next on the list to go, he does possess wonderful feet when playing out of defence, the problem is he is an absolute defensive liability, especially for such a fast paced League like the Premiership. The club need to seriously invest on the left hand flank, which means any new centre back MUST be left footed.

In midfield there needs to be a decision made regarding Conor Coventry, the Alex Kral loan signing was a disaster for both player and club, we have always felt there was something fishy about the deal that brought him to London. With Mr West Ham Mark Noble gone, surely now is the time to bring Coventry into the match day squad, he could provide cover for Rice and Soucek in a similar way as Noble did, but with legs!

Much as the Media will link Hammers with everyone and anyone, don't expect 'massive' signings, rather a mix of freebies and lower league 'hit and hopes', it is where the club is financially, but the quality of players attracted to the club will have gone up and as such don't be surprised if one or two 'Big' names DO turn up. - Ed

Seriously, where is this club hemorrhaging money then? Getting nearly £140 mill from a league position finishing, £20 odd mill from a European campaign, probably another £5/10 mill from saleable players on our books (Benrahma and Manu included), not to mention the savings on wages from out of contract players. Then there is this so called billionnaire Daniel Kretinsky who doesnt seem to have pooled in anything so far. If we don't get at least three players in capable of walking straight into the first team then you can kiss by bye to Declan.
PS. Isn't noble staying with the club behind the scenes at all?

Was thinking the same thing. If we haven't got into a better financial position after last season then something really is fucking wrong! Seems at last that the hangers on, long contract players and deadwood are leaving or will be sold allowing money to be spent on pimproving the playing squad. I expect at least 5 decent players to come in and expect them to hit the ground running as soon as pre season training starts! There can be no excuses next season, none, zero, nudder.....

The last 6 hours lol surely you realise by now that Moyes and his staff have been scouring the market since the close of the summer and winter windows and we do not have to worry as Moyes has realised there is nobody he wants as no player available can improve the squad:-).
