West Ham have reportedly lined up Nikola Milenkovic as a possible alternative to Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma ( big surprise ) , fuck me how long does a manager take to find and then decide on who he wants at a club . Kurt Zouma is a major acquisition for us more than likely valued by Chelsea in excess of £35m , way outside our budget constraints . Our owners need to give Moyes the finances required , not sure what happened to the cash he put in the piggy bank in the winter but the owners need to add to it pronto , GSB must have made promises when Moyes signed his new contract so they need to cough up or fuck off
.
For a start we need at least 4 more players in to join the starting eleven to build on the progression made last season , that's a CB - LB - AM and a striker these are all a priority , then we need to start looking at a backup CM , a Wing/FW and maybe even a RB .
These positions are a worry now as Balbuena has left , Lingard returned to MU , and we do not have a striker . We even have a few players who tend to pick up the odd injury
, Antonio ( our only striker ) - Lanzini - Cresswell - Masuaku - Fredericks and Fabianski all who could be starters depending on the formation used .
I suppose we could get away with not bringing in a LB but it would require us to rely on a not so rapid 31 year old Cresswell who tends to pick up the odd injury , Masuaku who cannot defend ( and who has just returned from knee surgery ) and Johnson who has heaps of potential but is a RB and right footed ( so not ideal ) .
No matter how hard the present players work and push themselves ( and they did last season ) I feel the results will not be the same this coming season especially with the extra European games , if anything I see a disaster looming on the home front without investment .
