It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Zin 'messiah' Zimmer said:
The fact he’s nothing more than SOS, pal, there is a great deal of revisionism regarding Zin, however, Sergio, much like him, will afford rest-bite to rotation, anything else is a bonus in terms of development and a cheap gamble….

Zin was class. He starts and captains Ukraine from central midfield. He's excellent at retaining the ball and is very creative. Zinc is one of the reasons Arsenal have looked so competent this season as he listens to directions and is an excellent team player. If the new guy is half the player in his first season, he will be doing well. To say he is a like for like replacement given the fact its a completely new position for him, and Pep had spent years crafting Zinc, is just silly.

Have to wonder how this supposed Bernardo Silva replacement hyped up by the tiktok generation is ending up at West Ham and not even a club with CL football?

He's a talented Brazilian international, who has done well in an average Lyon team. I'd say it was a coup for West Ham to be honest - especially at that price. He measures well against positional peers:

I'm surprised Liverpool aren't interested, but Klopp seems to want someone who plays 6 & 8, rather than 8/10/wing. Even though It seems like creativity in midfield is their issue.
 
It's week two of the season, and we have about 13 senior outfield players fit. Soriano announces the market is closed for us.

My reading is he is way more worried about what happens if he takes a chance on someone that doesn't turn out well, than what Pep has to deal with in the coming months.

Predictable bollocks crap shit that ensues when senior management get taken to task for costly mistakes. They'll slice a fair bit off the chances of reaching organisational goals, instruct others to 'deal' with operational shortcomings, if it means they don't bear personal responsibility for making another mistake of the same kind that was highlighted.
 
disappointing to hear that we are done in the market and a couple of key injuries puts us in trouble? We already have Laporte and Ake out for the next few weeks at least? Did the club have to generate cash as they may have fallen foul of FFP or the premier league FFP? Obviously if fringe players wanted to leave and the younger ones like Lavia who wanted to play we got some good money for them with buy backs but the we have replaced Jesus, Sterling and Zinchenko with Haaland, Alvarez and Gomez? Haaland without question is an upgrade but the other two are unknown currently and in this league and champions league? i know the club want to be sustainable etc but maybe the comment that Soriano said in that summer interview (Normay maybe) that we have 3 shareholders and we have to make profit so they can be paid on their investments, is that possibly a reason for cash flow? What are we currently in the market this summer, £79m in the black ish?
