West Ham fans can be happy at the news of Jarrod Bowen’s reported loyalty. The Mirror suggests he’d only consider leaving for Champions League football, a scenario that seems unlikely at the moment. But is this a genuine reflection of his commitment, or a strategic ploy?
Bowen’s comfort at West Ham and his long contract make a forced exit improbable. However, his Champions League aspirations could be a way to gauge his value and future options. By mentioning this , could he be putting other clubs on notice and potentially influencing his market worth in future transfer windows? Hopefully not, as I’m sure his future father-in-law would have something to say about it
The Mirror uses Newcastle’s interest as an example. Since they’re not in the Champions League, Bowen wouldn’t be swayed by their potential offer. This conveniently dismisses a serious Premier League contender without actually shutting the door completely.
West Ham’s qualification for the Champions League next season is ,with the best will in the world, somewhat fanciful. A rebuild is underway, and Lopetegui needs time to implement his vision. Bowen’s loyalty might be contingent on significant progress towards that European dream.
West Ham fans will hope Bowen’s Champions League talk translates to on-field commitment. If the team struggles and European aspirations fade, his loyalty might be tested more seriously next summer.
While Bowen’s reported stance is positive news for West Ham, it’s too early to declare his future set in stone. His loyalty will depend on both the club’s ambition and his own desire to compete at the highest level. Only time will tell if his heart truly lies in East London or if his Champions League dreams take him elsewhere.
Bowen wants the board especially Sullivan to back lopetegui with funds and finally build a squad and team that is capable of qualifying for the champions league positions in the premier league.Sullivan shipped out Declan rice to pocket the cash! He made a huge mistake he should’ve convinced Dec that we were going to invest heavily and bring in top players to achieve champions league qualification.West ham United need to show as a club that they intend to mix it with the big boys and buy quality players in key areas!!!
Declan rice was set on leaving, nothing sullivan said would’ve changed his mind. He didn’t just “ship out declan rice to pocket the cash”, at least, that isn’t how I saw the situation. Everyone at West Ham tried to convince him to stay, but it eventually became clear that he had no intentions of remaining. I don’t really know what I’m missing, but I don’t get why a large amount of fans seem to completely despise the board and the owners, or at the least, hold a strong dislike for them.
Sincerely,
Gary
We are in such a weak position if Lope and Tim and his porn baron bosses don’t get it right in next 2-3 months. The unrealistic boo boy trolls will be 10x worse than they were with Moyes who has credit in the tank and records points total at Xmas as still got said question every week. It’s all head together by elastic band and the Moyes managed to hold it together I so hope someone can untangle this once and for all but I’m not hopeful the social arm chair fans will be wiping into a Frenzy if we ain’t top 6 (like is easy as they did with Moyes)
So you think it was because we weren’t top 6 that Moyes contract weren’t renewed? Knowing your name is Graham I assume you’re not the better side of 40, have you not noticed that West Ham stick by their team better than most when losing and backs against the wall? (Nottingham forest loss in cup, Man City 6-0, Sunderland 3-0 sticks in mind, countless 3/4-0 drubbings at home against top clubs, even avram grants last home game (look it up if you weren’t aware)). I think it runs a bit deeper than the fact we are not in the top 6 don’t you?
There might be a problem with Danni and Danny he ain’t going nowhere 7 year contract as well.
The Mirror did not interview him, they quoted someone else whom they don’t name. Yet we are supposed to believe that vs. his actual commitment by signing a seven year contract.
There is no merit in the story and writing an article taking it as written is simply giving it air time it doesn’t deserve
Well said, why doubt him he’s the new mark noble West Ham to his bones and just signed a very long contract. How much more can he commit ffs?
Better footballer than Noble ever was.
Maybe he is better, but that’s not the point. Noble was and still is commited to the Hammers. And it would seem Jarrod loves being with West Ham and will love his West Ham family until he Dyers!
That’s what we need someone doubting the integrity of yet another of our own players!!
Because we must always believe what we read in the papers….
I don’t believe any of least of all most of what’s on this site always wiping up the negatives
