Will Rob Make A New Man Out Of Moyes?

This coming transfer window will be the most important the club has faced since it's move from the Boleyn Ground to the Queen Elizabeth Park Stadium, new head of recruitment has FINALLY been freed up to do the role he was brought to West Ham for originally from serial Premier League winners Manchester City!

Rob Newman can NOW work in tandem with manager David Moyes safe in the knowledge that REAL FUNDS are now available as the two of them set about recruiting and promoting as many as NINE players to the first team squad, we mention 'real funds' because for once this window Hammers are 'cash rich' meaning they won't have to offer ridiculous HP over a contract's lengths based deals and if neccessary and prudent pay ALL of the transfer fees required UP FRONT which will enable them to head the queue for transfer targets instead of waiting for the scraps.

New shareholder and eventual full owner of the club Daniel Kretinsky, despite the War in the Ukraine has 'liquid assets' in excess of £750 Million per year to 'utilise', that is not to say he will spend it ALL on West Ham, but it DOES mean funds ARE available when needed, NOT the usual GSB smoke and mirrors late bid rumours fans have become accustomed to.

One of the first deals Moyes and Newman are hoping to get over the line is one for Rennes central defender Nayef Aguerd, apparently both clubs have agreed a fee and the player's wage demands are not excessive so a deal is close to being agreed for the 26 year old Morrocan International Aguerd, who is a left-sided centre back and has long been identified as a primary target.

For EVERY player signed for a fee there will be at least one in kind signed on a 'free' transfer, although the word free is a little ambiguous given some of the signing on and agent fees that can suddenly be involved as club's jockey to offer the most incentivised terms within their particular budgets.

Jesse Lingard looks as if he might finally link up with Moyes again, perhaps a year too late but still a welcome addition, hopefully 'Lings' will be joined by one or two other free signings as well as the permanent signing of Alphonse Areola for £10 Million from PSG, Fabianski may have played well, but Areola IS the FUTURE, missing out on signing the Frenchman would show a complete lack of vision for the future as he could become a member of Hammers 'French back line' for years to come.

Apparently we have a £150million transfer kitty(believe it when i see it) if that were true then thats just £50million shy of Chelseas and on a par with the spuds and gooners so there cannot be any excuses.....the only worry for me transfer wise is soucek being made available letting him go IMO would be a disaster..He has not played well many say but he has been square pegged in a round hole and so his natural abilities have been stifled....and did the experiment work? of course not Moyes should not of tinkered with what was clearly working....and may i add that if anyone things we will keep Rice beyond next season stop kidding yourself because this time next summer we could be bereft of two of the best midfielders we have had in a long long time...one Because Moyes thiks he can get better and the other well he will want Champions league football and titles neither of which he will get here no matter how much we hope.

Also watched a Hammers Chat vlog saying that Moyes is turning down any offers of players from 2 sources who are close to the Club, could only possibly mean Salthouse and McKay. He would rather source his own players. In a way that's Brilliant, glad to hear it, however I hope it's not shopping in Harrods and expecting Lidl prices.
