All the teams are buying ball-carrying midfielders except United.

West Ham had a weird window but if they can find a striker and... a LB I believe ?... They did pretty good in the end. Will probably keep Paqueta until this betting thing is adjudged, may still sell him well next year and they have Kudus to not be naked whatever happens to the Brazilian.
Moyes might or might not go farther than this season but the team seems usable for another coach but has enough pieces for our former Chosen One with the increased set pieces lethality.

Probably for the new tactical trend of utilising box midfield that City, Arsenal, even Brighton and Aston Villa employed.
Also I think West Ham fighting in the relegation zone last season was a massive outlier for the Moyes era. Expect they'll be annoying to play this year.
Types of players, Moyes is a decent manager but I have 0 faith in him with a player like Kudus. He's not a winger as you say... We'll see how Moyes uses him. Maybe he'll replace Paqueta, but also just their style if play is nowhere close to what suits him. He needs that more than some others.
Mount
where will he play, Moyes will give him the Cornet treatment before he plays him ahead of Bowen
"So you can play many positions huh lad...?"
Edit : I read Moyes had his sights on him last year already...

He’s bagged himself a hat trick tonight in Ajax’s Europa League qualifier against Ludogorets inside 50 minutes.
Kudos to him!
Was this guy signed by Ten Hag? You'd think he'd be all over this.
Yeah ETH was cutting the buttons of his shirt to put a downpayment. Hew many times we have no money.
We'll come back to that after Deadline Day.
He was signed by Overmars and Marc called him his best signing rating him over Neres, Antony, Martinez and Alvarez as the player that would make the most money out of a transfer. United kinda screwed over that prediction with Antony.
Great talent. Isn’t he joining West Ham? I’d of thought he’d wait for a bigger team… surely someone bigger than West Ham would want him.
I don't think the big clubs came for him yet but he wants a release clause. If he does well at West Ham he'll have that PL proven stamp.
After last night's hattrick at least 10 million extra.
He would be better of going yo Brighton than playing under moyes
This comment didn't get enough love.Absolutely. They play much better football which would probably suit him. I still think if he hangs on though one of the big teams will go in for him.

I hope someone archives all of Romano awful mock ups. Bubbles, really ? I know we'll be forever blowing them alone but
Thanks at least I got.one laugh
I'll wait for another source to confirm this, without wanting to set off the team for and team against Romano, he's got so many Here We Go's wrong this summer.
I think Kudus is destined to eventually go higher than West Ham, bit in the meantime he is heading to a club that is playing in the Europa League, 3rd successive season in Europe now with a trophy in one and a semi in the other, in London in a 60-65k stadium and probably on a decent wedge.
I dont think we are a bad place to end up for a couple of years before one of the real big boys come along for him if he Impresses in that time.
I'm pleased with how the Rice money has been spent, providing we get this over the line we have added probably 10-15 extra goals vs last season, which should be enough to get us at least into the top 10 and given Europe might go as low as 8th this season, puts us in the hunt for it again.

Has he though? Name examples please.
Gabriel Veiga (Napoli - ended up in Saudi), Josko Gvardiol (about 2 weeks too early), and someone else I think
Im not happy about that. It should have been used on Maguire and McT
I wonder if Moyes is able to use Kudus in an effective way. If you had to name a dinosaur manager in the EPL it would be Moyes and Kudus is not a dino style player.
A midfield with JWP, Paqueta, Kudus, Soucek, Edson Álvarez are pretty good. West Ham should have enough fire power to aim for a top 10 finish. The Rice money is pretty well spent on paper for now. Probably need another forward as Scamacca replacement.
If only they could be a tad more ambitious by bringing in both McT and Maguire to challenge for a top 4 finish
According to this West Ham still has €63.60m for players, so there is still hope. They will probably bring in a forward though.

They're maybe adding JLingz as an emergency free signing in needed. They're looking for a left back and maybe a center forward.
Incredible how much we got shafted on Antony when you see this fee.
There is no United tax. We just have clowns in the negotiation room.
So he got 1 wrong and another 2 weeks early to same club. Thats an incredible hit rate considering he has multiple per day!
I reckon at least once per day, all the top brass at Ajax have a 5 minute Zoom call where they all jump on, put a picture of Anthony on the screen, and laugh.
West Ham's lowest aspiration this season is to qualify for Europe for the fourth successive season, one way or another.
Sold Rice and bought Kudus, Alvarez and Ward-Prowse with the money. Looks a strong trade on the face of it. Mavropanos from part of the other transfer surplus.
Expect another three or four to turn up.

What do you reckon was the reason the team had a relegation battle last year ? Squad too thin ?
