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.

Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Mendy, Rodrigo, David Silva, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Jesus, Aguero. Subs: Bravo, Stones, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Cancelo, Foden.
West Ham: Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku, Snodgrass, Noble, Rice, Soucek, Antonio. Subs: Randolph, Balbuena, Zabaleta, Anderson, Lanzini, Bowen, Haller.

"No player is bigger than the club" is a hackneyed expression used to cover the sale of a club's most valuable asset, to either balance the books or to reinvest in new players. So the regularity of comments attributed to Manuel Pellegrini's replacement, David Moyes, with regards to the possible sale of Declan Rice has been of some concern to West Ham United fans.
