I genuinely feel if West Ham had got Gyökeres in the summer for only the €30m Sporting paid Coventry, they’d be top 4 challengers this season
Gyökeres
Kudus Bowen
Paquetá Ward-Prowse
Álvarez
They need a bagsman who can lead the line. A top outlet. If they can get that, they’ll have a serious team, one who can beat anyone.
Gyökeres may be out of their price range now though.
Terem Moffi, Akor Adams and Artem Dovbyk are 3 solid options.
Maybe if other top teams go for other strikers, guys like Santiago Giménez, Víctor Gyökeres and Victor Boniface could all be available for a team like West Ham to snap up
If they managed to pull off either of these 3, I think they’ll be serious challengers.
@topwhite8
He’s good enough to play there, he’s played all over. He’s the main one who’d have to move position and would do it well. They’ve even used Paquetá on the left occasionally before
@Ben_Mattinson_
Their scouting is clearly improving. Such a strong tier of clubs outside the “Top 6” Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton, Newcastle, and West Ham
Another reason to like the UECL
Doubt the “Top 6” finish 1-6 for a while & will be a lot harder for newly promoted sides to stay up
@BotonioMourinho
Yeah I agree, I don’t think the ‘top 6’ will finish as the top 6 teams for a while
If any of them aren’t at their best there’s a pack of clubs chasing them down. I hope promoted clubs do well but I agree it’s unlikely. Shame though
@Ben_Mattinson_
Oh yeah 100%, imagine they actually get a good ballplayning cb and stop parking the bus every game and start playing actual football. I highly doubt they’d be worse of than villa
@Ben_Mattinson_
Gyokeres will play in Premier League for sure. What he is doing this year its just amazing.
His playstyle is also perfect for the english league but Sporting will not sell him for less than 100M.
One player to keep an eye in the next windows. 🟢
