West Ham’s Moyes REALLY must get on with things

|

It may have escaped the notice of some that a CLaret and Hugh reported via a key source that David Moyes would remain in charge of bringing in new players during this window.

We made it clear that Tim Steinten would be getting his feet under the table until Christmas and that the manager would therefore be driving the bus.

SO!

Here we are with the season around the corner and as I write only one player is on his way in according to our same source – Manchester City’s Carlos Borges.

It follows therefore that only one person is responsible for this  scenario – the manager – who once again is proving more than, shall we be polite about this, circumspect in making his choices.

Frankly, having known for months that Rice was on his way I would have expected him to have had a replacement lined up to bring immediately the window opened. Maybe two given like for like with Declan is impossible.

Aaron Cresswell appears to be on his way at the moment to Wolves and Manu Lanzini has been allowed to move on – others may follow but STILL no replacements are in sight .

I fully accept there are those who reckon Moyes is a magic manager, Fair enough, but there are as many who believe something different and this transfer inactivity is, in our. terms entirely unacceptable.

We are among them!

The one exception we will make as far as new arrivals are concerned are up front where we genuinely believe Divin Mubama is ready for first team action and it was great to hear the manager talking him up recently declaring that he gives the team something entirely different, He’s a player who going to save the Hammers fortunes in the transfer market.

But elsewhere with so little activity from the manager, possible disaster is waiting.

We also worry that should he ever be over ruled in the decision making process, the players Steinten may recommend, and are bought, get next to no chance!

A lot needs to happen and quickly in our recruitment process!

    As I said in a previous post, the obvious answer is to sack Moyes!! PLEASE! Before it’s too late!

    Ever the strategist, Moyes will know what he’s doing. Whatever transfer plans the club have, they’re most unlikely to let us supporters in with each bid. I never believe anything I hear on Sky Sports, Talksport or anything ‘reportedly’ quoted from any sports editor (I don’t read newspapers)……and especially from ExWHU Employee!! (Whoever he is).
    We will know much more by 12th August…… and again by the end of this transfer window,
    Stay cool. COYI
