West Ham fans are beginning to get used to the idea that we really are becoming a bigger and bigger club!
Nothing shows that better than the fact that our best players are now fairly regularly being connected with big clubs.
Lucas Paqueta would have almost certainly have been at Manchester City by now but for the unfortunate betting probe within which
he finds himself.
And alongside that comes news that Jarrod Bowen’s representatives are playing a tough game in new negotiations as Liverpool allegedly continue to see him as a possible Mo Salah replacement at some stage.
Down the years we have become so used to seeing our best players make their way elsewhere that it’s hard to accept as the club moves into a new era.
Another European campaign is only going to give clubs here and elsewhere a sight of our top players and we need to get used to that as proof of the fact we are becoming massive.
The next stage is that we make sure we hold onto all of them and go from strength to strength.
