West Ham four inexpensive signings away from challenging Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United for the title! Tottenham? You're having a laugh!


West Ham have something, that Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United don’t have! Zola To Be or Not to Be…

Well the media did their usual bit of muck throwing and stirring, saying that Zola and Clarke were off to Chelsea – surprise surprise – they didn’t join the glory hunters, bandwagon merchants, call them what you will.

Not since John Lyall, or perhaps Billy Bonds, have West Ham had a manager that displays such integrity for the West Ham cause, with the view to seeing it through to completion. It looks like West Ham are back to the golden days of having the same manager for a number of years, which can only be a good thing. That’s not to say that if Zola and Clarke become frustrated with the club’s lack of ambition or funding that they won’t walk earlier than the four year contracts they hold in their pockets and if that happens, more fool the club!

Zola must have been attracted to the club by the chance to manage a Premiership club without the necessary qualifications or experience; Clarke, meanwhile, was foolishly sidelined by Scolari and wants to manage some day. And let’s be honest, working with Chelsea is not exactly a normal environment to ply your trade - where a manager can just add to the half billion pound team by buying another few very expensive players to get them out of a rut. Most managers don’t have that luxury (or anomaly), and the great managers didn’t have a lot of cash yet some still had phenomenal success – Brian Clough brought small clubs like Derby and Nottingham Forest through to league titles and European cup wins a number of times on a supermarket budget, (and the same could be argued for Aston Villa). Zola and Clarke, with Nani's help will pick up quality players at affordable prices; whilst Bentitez and Redknapp blow multi-millions to tinker and make no real difference to their teams.

Zola has already shown disdain in the media for the ‘big four’ that refuse to bring young talent through, instead merely spending lots of money on players. These clubs allegedly also poach young talent from, for example, Italian sides that can’t contract young players until they are 18, by which time the guys from the ‘big four’ have greased their palms, and those of their parents, auntie and uncles and PE teachers whilst they are at it! These are the kind of guys that buy the kid’s family speed boats, even if they live 800 miles from the coast and are partially blind and suffer from epileptic fits.

So what does the future hold for going the pure football manager’s way through the league? West ham have a good defensive unit, although Robert Green’s shot save ratio is poorer than a number of EPL keepers; some cover for left and right back would definitely help the cause. The midfield have held their own against all the teams in the league and often come out on top, with the exception of the Arsenal game at the Emirates, where they couldn’t impose themselves on a stubborn and talented midfield. Up front is the main aspect where West Ham seem to be struggling. If Ashton and Cole were joined by two 15 (premier league) goal a season strikers – it could be argued that the team are destined for the top, and on a relative shoe string budget compared to the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Man U. So is the statement that West Ham are destined for big things wishful thinking or a reality?

Wishful thinking.

And i don't think £7m on Savio was brilliant business while you're in the mood for slagging off other managers for "blowing multi-millions".

Another Pro-West Ham speech that no west ham fans are going to read because you have none! Liverpool can afford to throw money at big name transfers as we are financially sound and Rafa knows the players he wants to bring in and they work well 9/10. I don't know how you can bring Tottenham into that really as Redknapp has only had one transfer window and IMO and most knowledgable football fans (unlike yourself) he bought well and you can't argue with the form Spurs are showing of late and the fact that they are only a point or so off of you when you were sitting quite pretty a few weeks ago, despite capitulation against Manure and Blackburn. Add to that the financial security of the club, new stadium etc; West Ham are a small club with minimal ambition and are nowhere near getting in the champions league because the days are gone where the Cloughs of this world can walk into a club the size of Forest, Derby or yourselves and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The only way to get there now is by spending the cash and if you deluded hammers really think that Zola can get you there on the cheap, you really are misguided fools. Honestly, the only 2 teams me and the majority of people in Liverpool fear breaking the top 4 is Everton and Spurs, sorry west ham but you are and always have been punching above your weight!

Hammersfan said...

Fair point but we will see with Savio. Walcott wasn't fabulous initially at Arsenal was he?

Hammersfan said...

To the Liverpool fan, I remember people saying it was impossible for Clough to take a club the size of Derby to the title and one the size of Forest to the Champions League. To win the title with Derby, Clogh had to compete against big spending Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Man Utd and Leeds back then. There was always a gap. That's why we had to sell Peters to Tottenham! At Forest he had to compete with AC Milan, Real Madrid and Juve. Tottenham and Liverpool simply prove that spending big does not buy success!

el Martillo said...

One thing that does worry me is Zola's comment that he thinks we only need 2 or 3 new faces. The squad has looked terribly thin this year and the possibility of european football could see us go backwards next year if we don't have the staff to cope. Parker, Dyer, Ashton, Gabbidon and Upson are terribly injury prone and if Gianfranco is working on the basis that they will all be fit, I'm afraid he may be deluding himself. Certainly we have good youth coming through, but young players often thrive coming into a team doing well but struggle if results go against you. We need two new strikers and a right back even if we don't qualify for europe, if we do, you can add another central defender, creative midfielder and striker to that list.

Unknown said...

Dean Aston clearly can't be relied upon...the injury record is woeful...and he didn't score that many goals anyway. Carlton Cole has had a good season but that means nothing until he can produce that form over a number seasons. This alone is reason enough to suggest that West Ham will continue to be top eight at best. There are a number of clubs streets ahead in terms of team development and balance....and a few more with pockets waiting to emptied.

Spurs have Defoe, Keane, Bent and The Pav...all capable and 3 of them proven...who can score twenty plus goals a season. Bent for all of his critics has scored 17 in all comps.

Everton are now consistently top 6...Villa have a fantastic manager and careful owner...Man City will surely produce more away from home next year and push on...etc..etc..etc.

You'll get two years from Zola...a bit of European action...and the top clubs will continue to cherry pick your best players (thanks again for Defoe and Carrick by the way...).

Dream on bubble boy.

Savio is the same age as Sears, he hasnt been brilliant this season, but would you say he has no future at the club?

Anonymous said...

old hammersfan at it again! how many articles can have spurs, liverpool, man u , arsenal, chelsea etc in the title! and come up on all their newsnow pages! lol...its ok though, i dont mind abit of banter...all we need now is celtichammer to turn up and start posting his essays

Hammersfan said...

Sears is older than Savio 920. I would back Savio to be twice the player Sears will ever be.

Joel, check out Ashton's scoring record. 19 goals from 43 starts for West Ham is near as damn one every two games. I don't think any of your nominated Cockyfools have a scoring ratio to compare.

Anonymous said...

This is one of the funniest things ive read in a long time. Your deluded if you think West Ham will challenge the bigger clubs. Upson and Collins are ok at best. Zola has done a brilliant job considering the poor standard of players he is working with. Bar Noble, Ashton and Dyer West Ham have average players.

Hammersfan said...

921, we enjoy the contributions from fans of other clubs. Equal Ops and all that - we don't want to rule out guys with Special Needs. As for the Scousers, they need something to fill up their long days in HM's prisons. ; }

Hammersfan said...

924, how about Ilunga, Green, Behrami, Tomkins and Collison?

Anonymous said...

Apologies i forgot about Behrami he looks half decent, i'll pass on the others though. Not a fan of Green at all.

You dont half talk out of your arsehole sometimes. So Trevor Francis was bought on a supermarket budget was he? You can name all the clubs in the premier league to get your hits you tosser but at least get your facts right. Do a bit of research for once and stop writing crap just for the sake of writing.

Anonymous said...

west ham have punched well above their weight this season, i dont think they will get near man city, villa or spurs next season, let alone the top 4

Hammersfan said...

936, no Francis wasn't bought on a supermarket budget and nor was Shilton. But the rest? Clough spent big on Francis and was rewarded when the guy scored in the Champions League final. The difference between Clough and Benitez, for example, is that Clough built a team and only splashed the cash for a truly outstanding player. Benitez just chucks dosh on anything that moves, irrespective of whether they suit the team or not. Look at Keane! Torres is Clough's Francis, and Torres was a brilliant signing.

Hammersfan said...

939, we have gone 12 rounds with one hand tied behind our back. Wait until we are punching with both fists! Remember, it took Clarke and Zola a couple of months to settle in, then along came the injuries. The kids will be better next season and the top quality absentees will hopefully be back. Put a goal scorer in our team and we will be the match of anybody.

Hammersfan said...

942, Don't be so hard on yourself! Use Special Needs, it sounds so much nicer!

Anonymous said...

Haha just makes me laugh how you think ur actually gonna get somewhere and when you use the word "top quality" to describe ur absentees! Lionel Messi is top quality, Cristiano Ronaldo is top quality, Kaka is top quality, Ronaldinho is top quality, Dean Ashton is mediocre by comparisson or are u suggesting that Ashton could walk into Barca and keep Eto'o/Messi/Henry on the bench with his silky... strenght? i dont know what is it Ashton has that makes him so good?

Hammersfan said...

948, it is about how they fit into the team. Messi? Brilliant but where was he in both semifinals against MU last season and where was he against Chelsea?

A strong back four is one way of winning a title. We have that! Unlike Tottenham!

spurs fans leave it out and slag off west ham, so what your on good form at the moment but your 10th in the league remind me how much did u spend in summer? u sell players then buy them back u make me laugh, u spend millions and millions and your still overated crap! dream on spurs u think arsenal are rivals, lol we pity u, u never challenge us for anything, your nowhere near our level, come on u gooners!!

Doglegz said...

And 11:31 that's the reason they hate us apparently - because we're deluded. Strange reason to hate someone but there reason nonetheless. And now they write an article that claims west ham will win the league! LOL. As for the gooner when was the last time you beat spurs - here's a clue it wasn't the 5 - 1 and it definitely weren't the fixture at your ground this season when you led 4 - 2 with one minute left. Btw when did you last win something? Almunia for England? What a joke you are, I'd rather be tenth with English players at an English club than win the european cup with a totally foreign team, foreign manager in a foreign stadium, with a foreign name of your club - btw where is that town called arsenal? - where the players all talk in French in the dressing room. I think you will find your the ones that are pity'd.

Anonymous said...

Right I've been a west ham fan all my life and I think things are finally taking a turn for the best. All u yids can say what u want let's think back u bought our players off us last time and you done us twice this season very close games yet if we had a half decent striker we would of beaten you. For the blog to say we will finish top 4 highly unlikely. Maybe finish top 6 if we buy the correct players. Spurs will go out and buy everyone they can a few will be decent and spurs will think harry is a genius ur best two signings this year have been palacios and modric but what about the other players like gomes great goalie.... Not. West ham can be greatful for anywhere we finish this season we have a bunch of youngsters out and two strikers that couldn't hit a barn door.
I'm not a deluded west ham fan but even with a weak team we can still chalenge bigger clubs against Chelsea we should of won we missed a penalty dyer one on one and. Tristan could of scored Chelsea had one decent chance and finished it, it shows there class however once we get deano back and maybe a decent center forward who knows.
For the guy that thinks man city are going to be good jog on mate we done them at our place with our youngsters robinio in that game was worth more than our whole team man city can buy who they like they will still be middle of the table team. And if you look at the youngsters coming through for west ham tomkins stanislas noble sears payne stech ngala atleast we bring through home grown talent instead of buy it who knows in 9 years time we might win the world up thanks to west ham and arsenal bringing through some talent I doubt spurs will and if a spurs fan comes out and says we got bostock udidnt bring him through you bought him surprise surprise dip into ur pockets once more .

'YIDS' - even the Arsenal fan on here laughed at your so called rivalry - you get creamed every year by them!... It's fun to watch a f*cking yearly comedy of errors....

LIVERPOOL CARJACKERS - your manager's a babbler worse than Arry (blinker) Redknapp... And Fergie made him look like a fool with his war of words...

ARSE- NIL - Why don't you just put the emirates on wheels and cart it of down the Eurotunnel and plonk it in France (your players will be happier)...

You all seem to forget that money didn't help Newcastle or Leeds etc.... And Liverpool you had to tap up two West Ham players (Mascher & Benayoun) before you started to compete with Manu U....

'924, how about Ilunga, Green, Behrami, Tomkins and Collison?'

ilunga is useless, green is average at best, behrami is average, and from what i've seen of tomkins and collison, england captains in the making my arse. they literally will wallow around a bit in the mid table obscurity that is west ham before moving on to championship sides and being forgotten about.

i cannot believe i'm reading a west ham blog that claims you need 4 inexpensive signings to challenge for the title. hilarious, yes, but if we're talking serious here then i'd suggest you go and buy 11 expensive players if a push for the title is really your aim, minnows.

i really cannot get over what i'm reading on this page! ahhh west ham fans!!

Sons and daughters of Tottenham. This much I vow. The history of these days will be written in blood, by crushing the armies of our enemy. By seizing the players they thought to turn against us. We were fighting for our very existence, but if are those who deny us peace refuse us our rightful place in the premiership. Then we will unleash such terrible vengeance, that generations of west ham fans not yet born will cry out in anguish.

I suspect that a little Napoleon and a German Brown Shirt are in there somewhere. The thing about Fanno was that healways had an opinion on West Ham and football, he wasn't there to try to sabotage the forum.

You have to laugh at Spurs fans.

They sold their entire frontline during last summer because they had to claw some money back then had to resign some of them to help in their relegation battle. Two years on the trot fighting relegation - ha ha.... and still their fans carry on their infamous delusions. Harry Redknapp - do your job and ruin that club.

Marko said...

As an Arsenal fan I think that you are alot more than 4 inexpensive signings away from challenging for the title but Uefa Cup football regularly is very possible. The big draw for your club is Zola because he seems like a class guy and looks like a really good manager too. He's a draw for foreign players too and he's not afraid to promote youngsters like Collison and that stanislav or whatever guy. So in short things are going well for your club, be happy that you finally have a decent manger but don't start to think that you can challenge for anything yet just try to keep Zola from leaving for an Italian team or Chelsea and staying in the top 10.

At home, Gomes and the Tottenham defence have conceded just nine goals all season so far, probably the lowest out of all teams in the premier league. I doubt even "Sensational" Upson can beg to differ against Tottenham's quality in defence. Furthermore, i was just browsing the internet when i came across this, maybe you should take a look and put an end the question of spurs fighting relegation?

Anon 18.06, isn't it past your bedtime...? Alternatively shouldn't you be out mugging old grannies or burgling houses.... what about your state of the art stadium (in the middle of a ghetto)? West ham don't need to buy many players, and new owners will pump some cash in the following season, so no worries....
