at least we dont incubate players for Man Utd to get a work permit and still demand a transfer fee – for the money you guys spent you should not be losing 2-0 to a team of strangers – btw who got sent off for Sunderland?

2-1 and u screwed it up. against a 10 man sunderland.

as for gudjohnsen, if the player does not want to come here , why chase him? waste of time and resources.

Nick. Cheers.

I think we missed a trick with Eriksson. Big time. My brother was telling me last night that Konchesky has come out against Curbishley also. He is very old school and not progressive as a manager. You need to learn and develop because the game has changed. He thinks he is still managing Charlton form 10 years ago.

East Hammer, you were not the only one who said we should go for Eriksson, I know we are in a minority but I also think he would still be the best choice, hopefully we can sign him in the January transfer window if not before the end of this one ! Or even better take Mourinho or Wenger ! I like you am concerned about the morale in the team, Tevez and his agent Kia both publicly said last season they could not signa new contract while Curbs was the manager and said that he does not make anyone feel welcome at the club. You are right that players have turned us down due to Curbishley, if I am honest I don’t think he will be here long unless he changes his dour approach and gets the team playing with the verve mostly injected last season by Tevez’s never say die approach.

Back on topic /rant off, I agree completely with Iain regarding Eidur, he does not want to be here, he has(d) a gambling problem that allegedly left him near broke, if so is he mentally fit to play at the highest level ? Although he has a lot of ability for about 2 – 3 seasons that ability hasn’t warranted a first team place at Chelsea or Barca and when he has played he hasn’t set the world alight… hopefully the move will fall through like the one for Dyer. Also hopefully we will get Solano who although old at least has vision and creativity like Yossi who didn’t even make the bench for Liverpool did he ?

I remember when we sacked Pards and me and my mates were debating our next manager. The first time in years i wanted to go against the grain of keeping it ‘in house’ and i was the only one who wanted eriksson. These days its all about attracting top players. Top players not only go for good clubs, but they go for managers with reputations and erikssons club record is up there. All our signings so far say they came becuase of Eggy, none of them came because of Curbishley, and the ones who left did so because of him and the ones who declined to sign did so because of him. Curbishley has no reputation – how will he improve the likes of Noble, Ashton etc? Gudjohnson would be here a long time ago if we had a class manager. We have a great base to be a top 6 club but we are missing a motivator. We were shockingly bad against city. I will never lose faith, but the fact is we will not get anywhere under curbishley.

Irons.

we need players with an air of confidence & a will to win that will rub off on other players does eg have this?? but we need a left back but bresicano from palermo looks a good player that would bolster the midfield

The spark of the first year back after promotion is what’s missing. Too many players feeling entitled to their place and doing nothing to justify their continued selection. When they came up from the Championship, they had that in abundance. Iain’s post is spot on – no matter the rest, where’s the hunger? We need players who have something to prove – about deserving their place in the side, not about how much cash they can trouser for the minimal amount of effort. In our manic addiction to buying these “names” (Dyer?! Yakubu?!) we risk losing the core of the club that a team could be built around to reliably finish in the 5th-10th bracket every year. And yes, I for one would be happy with that. Players like Collins (the real reason we stayed up?) are the ones we should be relying upon. Half that team on Saturday was a disgrace. Alright. But the other hald, and the ones that didn’t feature, that’s where we need to get behind.

Sorry Mooro, but its a bit difficult to keep the faith after the comings and goings over the close season. Some lucky escapes (Bent) and some uninspired buys (Quashi, Davenport) and some players of questionable attitude ( work it out for yourself) not to mention other players like Faubert, who I got the impression really wanted to play for Rangers. Eidur move is taking too long to happen so there is obviousy SOME reasonable expectation that he is in no particular hurry to come here. Added is the news in one of yesterdays murky tabloids that the Dyer move looks back on maybe you can see where all the doom and gloom is coming from. Its got nothing to do with “only” one game on. Looks like its gonna be another long winter to me. Hope I am so wrong and look forward to be proved so.

There’s a real feeling of doom and gloom from all the Hammers websites tonight….only one game gone!…..still a very long way to go yet!
And the transfer window doesn’t close for another 2 weeks. We have again picked up pre season injuries which won’t help. The new sigings have to bed into the team properly and this takes time, so come on people…..keep the faith!
