Ah West Ham. A wild and disappointing league campaign in 22-23 was redeemed by the first trophy in 43 years from winning the Conference League.
Seems like just the setup for a great offseason right.... Have some young talent that came in last season in Scamacca and Paqueta, Bowen is on his game... rest of the squad is aging a bit outside the centerbacks, but while Rice is sure to move, he'll net 100m, so put it to good use.... and West Ham are finally making it to the 21st century by hiring a Technical Director....
Oh how naive.
Rice is gone for his record fee..... and nobody has been signed.
The Board has not given the TD authority to overrule Moyes, but neither is Moyes in charge. Two men with different philosophies, just fucking everything up left and right.
Scamacca sold back to Italy for a wash after he didn't want to stay.
Edson Alvarez might be incoming.....
Moyes is chasing English players on the wrong side of the aging curve (and also who aren't very good) in Harry Maguire and James Ward-Prowse.
A deal for young talent Borges from Man City was close to done... then he signed for Ajax.
Bowen has refused all extension talks, and now the Brazilian papers say Man City is making a bid for Paqueta.
The squad looks to be gutted and the lame duck manager is pushing hard for aging PL veterans with no upside to be brought in. Any player who might break 70 on pace in FIFA is crossed off the manager's list.
A complete clusterfuck, but the owner is too much of a coward to sack the manager who won a trophy, and there is zero plan.
