Say what you want about Moyes but he has more of a plan and vision than anyone at the club has had for ages.

Can’t believe we still have Moyes haters to be honest..

Pellegrini brought some great young players. We need serious talent not potential

What kind of players would you rather that the Hammers were intending to sign?Young and hungry players
Players with known quality |
The report follows an admission from the Scottish manager that he wants to bring in “young, attractive, hungry players” not “someone who will fill the gap” (per West Ham).
However, after the latest suggestion that Moyes is looking at the Championship and the French leagues, fans continued to air their mixed responses.
Sell anderson for 40-50 mill and go raid Brentford for Watkins and Benrahama for the fee of Felipe

The best manager to do that would be… young and hungry!

Good to hear but quite honestly we could have done this at Upton Park.

You’re dead on the money Andy. It’s incredibly frustrating.
I wouldn’t mind going after these type of players if we had a robust scouting team in place.
Oh, that’s right our owners refuse to invest in a scouting model and want to rely on trusted agents

Everyone wanted a top manager to take us forward, everyone was buzzing for Pellegrini !! It didn’t work! Give moyes a few years to build his own team then judge… keep changing managers doesnt help.

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from West Ham fans, it is clear to see that this one has received a mixed response, with some backing the transfer plan and others not so keen.
However, with the Irons currently sat 16th in the Premier League table (per BBC) it is also clear to see that what has been before has not worked all that wel;. So, a change in direction may be exactly what the London club needs.
