David Moyes has put fresh emphasis on fitness and running with West Ham moving up the table on covering the longest during matches since joining. Hammers have also featured recently on individual performances by particular Mark Noble, Pedro Obiang and Manuel Lanzini.
Looking at the Premier League as a whole these are players to run their socks off during this season covering the most distance.
Premier League top 10 of players covering most distance.
Jack Cork Burnley
Abdoulaye Doucoure Watford
Pascal Gross Brighton
Nemanja Matic Manchester United
Dale Stephens Brighton
Christian Eriksen Spurs
Davy Propper Brighton
Grant Xhaka Arsenal
Wildred Ndidi Leceister
Jay Rodriguez West Bromwich Albion
Christian Eriksen? Do me a favour and actually think before writing these articles.
I listed the top ten who run the most, obviously not all of them would be available
Doucoure could be a good replacement for Kouyate, much as I like Kouyate think he is a great character he has really been off the boil for a long time despite scoring his share of goals, like Ayew in terms of contribution other than goals across 90 minutes he is actually found wanting most games. Pascal Gross is a clever player and creates so much if we could prise him away from Brighton that would help us a lot in terms of creativity. If we can add a Carvalvho and a Gross we have the two players that can play at both ends of a diamond formation if we went 442 or could equally fit into any number of the other formations giving us additional defensive and offensive capabilities. I have no idea how much each would cost my guess is about £30m each so I feel it is unlikely DS will sanction those but would be a welcome boon were he too.
Agree 32 I’ve praised Brighton for that buy £3m was top creator in Bundesliga.
He he been involved in 12 of their goals scored 6 assisted 6. Can play CM & AM. If we could lrise him away I would love it but I doubt it so we have to look outside PL. I’m worried Moyes wants British players to much & PL tacklers we need a Physical DM but we need a passer & some technique badly.
A creator
Palace & Newcastle are keen on Mohamed Elynoussoui now who I’ve been on about for a month or more. Has 11 assists 6 goals in 24 apps 23yo w pace & has 24 assists in 64 apps. Norway Intl. AM/CM either wing
Even in MLS Miguel Almiron was brilliant his first season there 23yo. Jack Harrison & their season is over.
Were linked w Hamza Barry £5m be a shrewd buy 23yo pace & scored against Everton 6&6.
Hakim Ziyech be a great buy.
A lot of good players out there but we need creativity technique & passers.
Moyes seems to be set on British Players & PL exp which is fine but more expensive & harder to get that creativity. Also seems to be focused on defensive players like said we need a DM but we need passing.
Linked w Mcginn from SPL now £4m might be a shrewd buy rather spend £4m on him then £15m on Arter.
But really need creativity & you get the players Like Gross by buying outside the PL
Christian Eriksen? to West Ham? This is a highly embarrassing suggestion, sorry. COYI
