West Ham are basically a template example of what happens when you get recruitment wrong too many years in a row. The way that they used the Rice & Kudus fees (£160m) is what decided their fate. 2 or 3 good buys (Fernandes, Summerville, Diouf) is not enough especially when you recruit so poorly at CB and striker. Amateurly-ran clubs will get found out in the modern Premier League. West Ham need a change of ownership or else it will be the same story, even if they do get promoted next season.
Don’t get the Ugarte hate personally, perfect in a lone pivot
Casemiro upgrade — Intensity, anticipation, dribbling/evades pressure, doesn’t play hot potato/recycles play — an elite destroyer
Joined PSG prior to Enrique — a coach who prefers a distributor over a destroyer
