I thought the West Ham way was perennial underachievement?

These rumours and speculation will go on all summer only Brentford of those listed are guaranteed premier football next season most don’t even know who their manager will be, as for West Ham if he is still there I can’t think of amore uninspiring boring bloke to play for than David Moyes has to be the most overrated manager in the premier league.

Moyes is unfairly lumped in with the old bully boy dinosaurs like Allardyce, Pullis & Bruce. He worked miracles at Everton with a tight budget, got them into Europe. He was given less than a year at Man U which was unfair, and to be following Ferguson was an almost impossible task (whoever you were). It seemed to taint his entire career that period.
West Ham have been poor this season but they were fantastic last term without spending shitloads. They should give him another season to turn it around. If we were in the Premier League, and for some reason Robins was not here, we could do far worse than David Moyes.

I get that. But the “West Ham way” makes me cringe - nothing in their near history suggests they should be winning regularly with pulsating football. Same as Newcastle

Am pretty sure their team with Di Canio, Cole, Carrick & Defoe got relegated.

And I’m also sure our “Arry” was manager after shafting his best mate Billy Bonds took them down. Some massive clangers done at the time big fees & wages on ordinary players.

He's already passed the ball more in five minutes than he does for us most weeks!

I was only joshing, but he definitely is looking to pass it rather than steam train his way through the defenders like he normally does for us!

Playing as an orthodox target man tonight. He's gotten a lot better at hold up play this season, he's better in the air as well now I think.

Damn...I'm pleased for Gyok, but the more he plays (well) for Sweden, the less chance we have of keeping him this summer imho.

To be honest, I don’t think it makes any real difference what he does with Sweden

Probably in less minutes too. He always looks class for Sweden, more effective for them than Isak when I've seen him/them.

I’m not confident

they’re in good form and we’re due a loss unfortunately, always start slow after WC/euro breajs

but a win would be a massive statement and we can obviously get it

I agree to some degree, I just don’t think it will affect how much clubs are going to be willing to pay scoring against countries like Azerbaijan

when he starts and scores goals against better nations I’d agree whole heartedly

admittedly I don’t know who his other goals were against

Backtracking slightly

international goals will probably gain more publicity etc

however I think the obvious selling point is how he’s playing for us

if anything it puts the price up

Goal every 178 mins and assist every 265 at the minute. Only played 530 mins though. Interestingly he’s scored every time he’s had more than 70 mins on the pitch (twice).

No, I feel like he's had some coaching from Zlatan as he does have a sort of arrogance about him on the pitch (which is good and necessary imo)

News saying we’ve decided to cash in on him, sounds like a new deal isn’t a goer. No doubt that’s why his names has been linked all over recently.

Everyone still thinks Vik will be off in the summer to richer climes. But he has been vocal about wanting to stay at Coventry as he's getting game time and not just sitting on the bench and he's said his play is improving as a result. So even if Everton, West Ham or any other Prem club come calling, unless they can practically guarantee a regular first team starting spot (which I doubt most of them would), I think Vik would need some serious persuading to leave. He's more intelligent than just wanting to follow the pound signs. Here, he's getting games and he's being picked for his country. The only thing we've failed to offer him is cup success. And I'll put a massive "YET" on the end of that

Which news ? If it's that Swedish outlet, they've been writing stories that he's off every time he's played for Sweden.

He's good enough to play regularly in the top flight though, that's the difference to lots of other players we've had recently. He can have cash, profile, and game time.
