Do we need our defence transforming????

Coyle (last season) now fighting it out with Drameh.
Jones (last season)
Hughes (new)
Giles (partly last season) with the useless back up.

Hardly think we need transforming. Starting back 4 I would be happy with. Just need the depth a bit, but guess Burns is a CB too.
 
I assume I wasn’t clear as you are missing my point.

Why doesn’t a simple

“Charlie Hughes has joined us from Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee” suffice”

It take time to put the animated stuff together when you could post the sentence in less than a minute.
They should just write it on a Post-It and stick it on the closest lamppost to the MKM. End of.

Why even put it out on social media? That's just for the kids. Should just let people read the line up Saturday and be happy they get that!

He doesn’t look too happy to be here, looks like he’s going to burst into tears! Here at last, hopefully the best things are worth waiting for.

From a new City player to ex City, many congratulations to Jarrod Bowen, new West Ham Captain. Fantastic progression for him. <applause><applause>

I guess it depends how this 4 click and also work in the new system. We’ve looked dodgy in both competitive games so far.
 
Actually excited for burstow
Will suit tims system

And with zambrano and hughes
It gives us great options for the future
Even if we dont have a successful season this year

4 year deals ars great for these young players
Also means if theyre successful, theyll cost more to pry from us

Exactly the sort of signings we need
 
We only had the 9th best defence in the league last season and the 9th best attack in terms of goal difference, our defensive stability under Rosenior was a bit overrated in all honesty

Agree
Felt like a lot of times
For us to win
Wed have to keep a cleansheet

Okay that sounds obvious but i mean
If we conceded, wed usually not score enough

When we played against teams who pressed us, we’d attack a lot better but we’d also concede more.
 
We conceded first a heap last season, if we cut down on that we'll go a long way to winning.
It worked long term in the way we played as we’d score a lot of goals late on as we’d grind teams out but we just would rarely score multiple when on top. Cardiff in both fixtures and the home game against QPR are the only games we did really

Have we ever done that? Signed a player and then just not announced it until they've rocked up in the squad? I know it happens in pre season with trialists and the like, but way back when it must have been a common occurrence?

Closest was Millar being announced via shirt numbers which was brill. Some might call that over the top ****ery though. ;)

Some around me forget often enough at games you’d think we’ve done this. Took him about 5 games last season to realise we had Scott Twine
