    Agree, watching Tripps stupidly run away from his position to try and get in a better position in the box has been like watching Hornswoggle run into the Royal Rumble to battle it out with Big Show, Undertaker and Kane <laugh>

    Gifting Mudryk that goal against Chelsea cost us an easy semi against Boro, and a much better chance to win the league cup that last season, as Liverpool put out a kids team.

    Also his hideous defending again Man U gave them them the first goal and lost us 6th.

    And those were the times he wasn't injured.

    So we have just finished 4th and 6th with Longstaff playing almost every game alongside Bruno but he is not good enough to be demoted to his back-up?

    Depends how much ambition you have.

    We haven't even secured a european spot yet, if Man Utd win the cup we have no european competition to look forward to, and it will be ourselves to blame.

    We finished 7th on goal difference alone against the ****test man utd side in a while and allowed Chelsea to catch us after a mostly **** season.

    This season we were exposed. Our squad depth is piss poor and we need better.

    Remember we benefitted massively 2022/23 from no european games, and certain teams losing form and being ****e. So 4th place, despite being a great achievement, is not going to be nearly as easy going forward.

    This season it was a lot tougher and we proved how much our squad struggles with european demands. I know ECL is not CL but still.

    We need to do better otherwise if we don't lose our big names this summer, we will definitely next summer.

    Bruno to longstaff is a massive step down in quality. He's not a terrible player, but our first choice back up option? Nah. Not for me.

    We need a better 4th choice CM because if a big injury happens in our central midfield it's back to another season of Longstaff and he's not good enough.

    TL;DR - If we do manage to get that ECL spot, we've just scraped it on goal difference. Are we happy having the same thing happen again next season?

    Remember we'll be without lascelles and botman until 2025 potentially. Who knows if Willock will ever return to what he was.

    If this happens, I hate to tell you all I told you so.

    Bowen is who we should have signed last season.

    EXACTLY what we need.

    Sauce? But good, IMO. Knows where the back of the net is, but always came across as a bit of a prick from what i saw of him.

    Bowen won't be coming here. Good player, but can't see it.

    You tappped into some sort of private CC hotline (disturbing thought), or is this the journalistic arm of CC?

    West Ham are going no where fast. They're mid table fodder who will be sniffing around the ECL spots for the next 5-10 seasons.

    We are going places and could be back in the CL in the next 2 years.

    Bowen is 27. If we wants to make his big move forward, nows the time.

    We'll see.

    I'd say he'd go to Arsenal but he plays as a left footed right winger same as Saka.

    Man City? Spurs? Hmmm? Not sure.
