Do you like riddles ?
I love a riddle.
To get the old grey matter in gear this fine Sunday why not sit down with your morning coffee with this easy brainteaser.
Simply take the first letter from the Christian names of the following players, all of whom we've been linked with over the last few months to reveal the name of West Ham's new striker next season.
Good luck.
Corentin Tolisso
Ross Barkley
Odsonne Edouard
Uriel Antuna
Chris Wood
Houssem Aouar
Youssef El Nesyri
Very good sir
This upcoming transfer window is a defining one .
It’ll show us once and for all the ambition that the Dwarf Cunt has for the club .
Will he invest in an attempt to really push on next season ?
I think we already know the answer to that one as Leopards do not change their spots.
However we have to give him one more opportunity to make good his inane promises of 11 years ago .
As for Moyes , I give up
He ain’t going anywhere and even if I dislike the way he goes about a lot of things , I finally admit that he has to be given the opportunity to continue what he has started to build.
Incoming required and actual incomings will , as usual be vastly different and inevitably leave us short .
I’m convinced Moyes would prefer playing a back 4 which has to mean he’ll surely be targeting a quality CB and a quality LB that can actually defend .
I’ve been banging on about it for 3 years but my argument still stands .
Cresswell and Masuaku are ok in a 5 but we can’t keep having 2 (and sometimes 3 , see Fornals) players covering for each other’s inadequacies all the time.
New striker is a given though we NEED 2.
Cover/competition for Declan and Soucek HAS to be a priority too.
Then we have the Lingard conundrum.
It’ll be a huge % , maybe most of any Dwarf budget .
As good as Lingard has been ....
Ask yourself this question ?
Prior to the January window , what’s the LAST area of the squad that needed improving ?
Imo Benrahma , with his few assists was coming on ok .
Nothing special but people were moaning about Fornals 18 months ago .
I reckon we would still have been up there or thereabouts if Lingard hadn’t shown up and a loan striker had .
It’s all about opinions of course , but in mine it’s not just a question of whether the Midget invests or not it’s also a question of what Moyes does with it.
It’ll certainly make for an interesting summer that’s for sure.
And the nearer we get to the end of the season the nearer we get to me making this the official transfer window thread.
Just saying
