If that was the case then surely by 2020 we'd have a league full of superteams? bit like the driver debate, spend another £450 each year to get another 10 yards, 10 years later, we aren't hitting it 100 yards further.
A good core team shouldn't need spending on every year, only when age,injury or another team comes knocking with a blank chequebook.

You really have to spend or you do stand still. Everyone strengthens around you. You don't.. your players get older.. some may leave ..team is weaker

Loan players with view to buy are false economy at times .. means you have to spend say 15 million just to get the same team you had last year

We have that with soucek
Then zabs has left



He needs replacing or we are weaker .. might get lucky with the youth team this time


Look what 30 million gets you now aswell. Maybe one good player or 3-4 punts ...

There are some reasons to spend of course, but, if you have a decent team then that need to spend is lessened. I would be looking at the coaching team and scouts who look for the younger lads and ask myself why none/few seem to be coming through the ranks.

Post lockdown form table makes for interesting reading
Liverpool have been playing in their flip flops waiting to go on holiday.
City and Utd have both been put out of the FA cup .
City have won a good victory In CAS.
But UTD might still be in the Europa league.
Still plenty to play for for some teams.
Should be interesting on Sunday.

Depends on the age though.. I mean I'll use us as example again

Snodgrass and noble both 33 now. Time to put noble out to be turned into glue surely. Won't be cheap to replace

Rice I think is going to go to chelski .. leaving 3 positions to fill with whatever money we get from rice

Yes it will be a cup final for Rodgers and OGS.
If UTD get champions league then OGS has done a great job imo.
But a Vardy hat trick should see him good for the golden boot!

I'd disagree. With *the best defence in the PL and now the best Front 3 along with the world class Fernandes they should be doing better than scraping into top 4.....

Anyway, we've been told on here plenty if times Top 4 isnt an achievement for the big clubs, the only team that matters is the team with the most points?
 
Does it really? You've changed your tune since Lockdown, you were very pro null and void.

Which would have had the same outcome for us. People thought west ham were against to avoid relegation ....nope just for the right thing to do

Avoided it anyways

Congratulations on staying up, I look forward to watching Moysie's fantastic football next season ??

You are gonna be in a great mood for months with the title so fancy a £10 bet .. h4h ofc

West ham to finish top 10

I think top 12 but that's boring bet .. you game?
 
Is that with Moyes in charge?

Indeed it is, I really believe give him a pre season and a little investment will be fine

He has come in twice now with players that aren't his own and kept us up

He turned Arnie from a second rate winger to a decent striker

He transformed Antonio .. made him more clinical rather than ball in China shop

Let him have the team for a pre season and a couple signings.. he signed Bowen and soucek. Both of which have transformed our team

He also was the one who really gave rice his chance. At cb at the time to keep us up
This time he built the midfield around him

We have looked excellent since lock down and pre lock down we were looking better the signs were there.

And that’s why we all love footy.
Eternal optimism.

Supporting clubs of similar stature. I’ll go £10 h4h saints finish above West Ham if ya like?
