Just look at the squad!
Robert Green - a top international keeper so unlucky to have been born into a generation of top English keepers. Carson, Robinson, James, Hart, names all to stand alongside the greats of the past. How Green must wish it was only Shilton, Clemence and Parkes he had by way of competition as he would surely be heading towards 100 caps by now!
Joey O'Brien - Capped 3 times by the Republic of Ireland.
George McCartney - A £6 million man when sold to Sunderland. 34 caps for Northern Ireland.
Winston Reid - Capped 6 times by new Zealand! A former star of Danish football.
James Tomkins - F.E.C.
Mark Noble - Capped no fewer than 18 times by England at U21 level and a veteran of nearly 200 league appearances already.
Julien Faubert - French international. Just check out that YouTube video of how good he was before he joined us! This is the man who was wanted by Real Madrid!
Matty Taylor - Top Premeirship player who has spent his entire top division career so far at mighty Portsmouth and Bolton. Uncapped but God knows why!
Henri Lansbury - An Arsenal star of the future. Outstanding for Norwich last season, although they didn't try to sign him for this season in the Prem.
Carlton Cole - England international and goal machine.
Kevin Nolan - Robbed of Player of the Year last season when Parker was given the nod instead.
Jack Collison - Top international player with Wales.
Abduolaye Faye - No fewer than 12 caps for Senegal.
David Bentley - Sullivan and Gold said they wanted Beckham but they signed the next Beckham instead. Enough said!
Papa Diop - 32 international caps for Senegal!
Freddie Piqiounne - Like Faubert, capped by France!
Herita Ilunga - 9 caps for the Congo!
Guy Demel - 27 caps for the Ivory Coast!
Sam Baldock - the new Michael Owen with 35 goals in 105 league games in the bottom two divisions.
John Carew - 73 caps and 23 goals for Norway!
And there's others in reserve too!
The squad is now bristling with international quality players. Allardyce has cut out the dead wood and shipped out the journeymen, replacing them with a kaleidoscope of top international stars from around the globe.
True the team have not yet truly gelled but my God, when they do, Man City and Man Utd had better beware!

When are you going to just look at what we have and say, "Yeah things are going OK" We are not Man Utd and we are in debt up to our eyeballs and in the Championship. It is thought throughout this league we have the best squad and manager so lay off and enjoy it for a while.
You are proper boring and this is definitely a wind up blog - you are a Spurs/Millwall fan without a doubt
Why are West Ham fans not allowed to be positive? Would you rather we were under your favourite manager - Grant - again?
I thought he bought well HF. Didn't you think so?
I sense some sarcasm : P
Bought? Who has he BOUGHT? Nolan, Taylor and Baldock isn't it or have I forgotten somebody? The jury hasn't even sat on Baldock yet and Nolan has been a huge disappointment so far.
McCartney loan, Lansbury loan, Bentley loan, Montenegro loan, Demmel loan.
Rejects signed on frees: Faye, Diop, Carew, O'Brien.
He has padded out the squad well and done a lot better than Zola ever did because he has a squad that can play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.
demel was a free not a loan you prat!!
HF demel isnt a loan hes a permanant transfer
Is he? I was in Egypt when the deal was done. So he is another washed up reject then.
bought? he's bought some good players to the club. What's the issue?
There's no issue 2309, HF just wants Grant back
I'm sure we'd all like to have Man City's money, but considering we were a imploding as a club not so long ago, I think Fat Sam's done a fantastic rebuilding a team on the cheap and turning this club in the right direction. You need to stop occupying both sides of the fence my friend!
