After Bowen, next one of Nuno’s regulars confirms he’s staying for promotion push

The hope was always that the ‘key players’ amongst West Ham’s squad would fall in line behind Jarrod Bowen once the England International signed his revised contract and committed himself to the fight as a West Ham player next season.

Tomas Soucek, injured and out for a couple of months, had already confirmed his own intentions to remain at the club and do his utmost to secure promotion next season.

And now from West Ham’s own web site comes a clear statement of intent from Mads Hermansen.

Buried deep within the interview, the Danish number 13 – Nuno’s first choice keeper – makes his own position crystal clear:

“The league is so tough physically.

“Every team wants to beat West Ham as well and I think that always gives an extra 5-10% for the opponent. But, yeah, it’s going to demand a lot of us to try to win every game, because that needs to be our mentality because we want to go straight back up again.

“So it’s going to be tough, but I know with the right work and the good hard work we do, we can make it….

We’re really grateful as players for all the support that we get.”

And then the confirmation of his intent for next season:

“And we look forward to giving it back, to show on the pitch and to win a lot of the games this season, so it’s going to be really good.”

Bowen – tick. Soucek – tick. Hermansen – tick. Next? Hopefully defender Dinos Mavropanos will put pen to paper on the revised offer that Daniel Kretinsky has put to him: That’ll start to look like a pretty solid spine of a side to build around.

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days - sometimes- have to admit I have not renewed my season ticket... I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970..
Favourite player - Dean Ashton: Still watch YouTube repeats of the Cup Final of 2006 hoping in vain that Shaka Hislop grows six inches and stops Steven Gerrard's injury time equaliser. Can tell I'm getting old knowing I saw both Mark Noble's debut and his last game at West Ham.
Pulling on a Claret and Blue replica shirt still makes me feel the same butterflies as when I was seven years old. Magic.

    It’s the same players that got us relegated. Who knows if they’re good enough to get us promoted. Let’s hope so.
