    Two weeks to go until we play our first proper match so I am going to ask how many players have we signed so far?

    1 signed, 2 sold

    GK: Hermansen / Areola
    RB: AWB / KWP
    LB: Diouf / Scarles
    CB: Dinos / Kilman / Tobido / Mayers (Golambeckis / Casey)
    CM: Soucek / JWP / Kante / Magassa / Potts (Orford / Earthy)
    AM: Bowen / Cornet / Lamadrid
    CF: Taty / Felipe (Marshall)

    At present, other than at the wing we're well set for automatic promotion imo

    Think spending loads of money this summer would be a bit pointless given the talent we can attract this year compared to next

    I would expect a centre back and a forward to come in.

    WHU, Why do you think it is pointless to spend money this summer?

    IMHO Several of the players you mentioned are likely, IF you believe all the rumours, to be leaving or are not in NES plans so that will leave us short of a squad with relevant strength in depth to be competitive in the Championship. As I said that is just my opinion.

    As of right now they haven't left

    We've secured the future of Bowen and Soucek, reports suggest that we're trying to do the same for Mavropanos and Taty, Hermansen isnt going anywhere neither is KWP, Scarles or Felipe

    Hermansen- Dinos - Soucek- Bowen - Taty core is very strong for the league

    Hermansen
    KWP - Dinos - Kilman - Scarles
    Bowen - Kante - Soucek - Cornet
    Taty - Felipe

    That team wins the championship, thats where I'm at. I also have faith in our youth to at least act as depth. Potts and Earthy have already had successful stints in the championship, Mayers and Golambeckis look promising. Jurys out on whether Marshall or Casey can make an impact but they're still here.

    Feel the forgotten guys like Ward-Prowse, Cornet, Kilman etc. Are all good enough for the championship, regardless of how poor their individual West Ham careers have been

    Not saying sign nobody, but think overspending doesnt really make sense as its more likely they wont be Prem ability and we'll be in a mess again

    The guys we've been linked with, none of them are exactly going to push us on

    Harwood-Beillis is the right kind of move, same for Engels at Celtic but feels like they are still low-prem level players

    You could say the same about our entire squad. We were in or around the bottom three for almost the entire season

    Which is kinda the point no?

    Spend millions now to get players that are good for the championship but cant cut the prem, which we kinda already have, then we get promoted and have to shift those thay aren't good enough which as we have found isn't easy to do
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Surely WHU we can kill two birds with one stone by buying some players who are good enough for the Premier League now and then we are better set up hopefully for the season after this?

    Sorry but some of the squad members we currently have won't be good enough after promotion as was proved last year.

    Maybe, but all the names I've heard we are linked with scream short term

    This team I listed above is superior to the Ipswich team that got promoted last year and Southampton who should've

    I think the aim should be buy players that we are confident we can bring on this season, as they do their job in the Championship. This Cardiff centre back Lawlor seems idea for that if we can't persuade Disasi to return, young, bags of potential but probably not quite top level yet, lets get him around Bowen Sucek and Ward Prowse, all good professionals, and shape him.
