One of Manuel Pellegrini's more salient observations regarding West Ham during his ill fated tenure was that the club needed to start thinking and believing it was a bigger club. He was correct, unfortunately his remedy was to throw VAST amounts of cash at the problem, and we all know how that ended don't we?

West Ham have always featured prominently in the headlines during the transfer window, usually for all the WRONG reasons! It seems this season is no exception as the usual B/S about Declan Rice has been augmented with ludicrous tales regarding Jarrod Bowen being 'keen' to do a Hammers 360 and join the Klopp heads!

If West Ham can maintain their upward trajectory, keeping hold of Declan Rice could become a reality, there is every chance that IF the club can finish in the top six for the 2nd year running Declan might wish to hang around. IF the club could finish in the top 4 there is EVERY chance that the then recently turned 23 year old will stay on, at least for a couple more years.
