It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

time to have a conversation about Phillips. Shows nothing of value.

Jewelzee will be on your back soon, he has a thing for kalvin. Kalvin is not good enough and never will be

Usual thread bump because we losing.

Without kev we really do lack creativity.

That was the same last season too. Thankfully injuries were at a minimum. Including Rico Lewis we have about 17/18 players we can rely on.

Lucky with injuries last season. This season we not only lost experience in Mahrez and Gundo but massive quality too

 

[DeBlueLou]

I really wanted Phillips to work out, but he's not shown any improvement whatsoever... No spark, no signs of development at all. It's a shame, but can't see him playing for us anymore.

West Ham need a dm

Having a huge budget is one thing.finding the right players to compliment our brilliant squad is something else.
Or should we spend regardless of quality ?

that was on the board to finish the bellingham/rice signing(s), without mahrez we are two players short that are going to be very difficult to find in the market now. So, yeah, if we dont get a couple of quality players more we are going to struggle a bit more than we should next season

I mean looking at the current changes (smaller squad, lost experience) it’s fair to have a conversation about the squad overall, not just in context to today.

There is definitely a lesser squad than last season here.

Still only pre-season and we are notoriously slow starters under Pep in regards to performance, maybe not so much
with results. However, I can't help but feel we are really going to miss Gundogan and Mahrez this season.

For me Kovacic was needed on top of those two as our squad was too thin last season. We still need to replace Gundogan and Mahrez.
