Saturday's defeat demonstrated just how poor the current West Ham squad is and the club desperately needs at least three signings to survive. Of the current squad Sanchez and Ajeti aren't good enough, Wilshere is surely finished, Zabaleta is a great pro but now too slow for the PL and Yarmolenko is struggling after last season's career-threatening injury. Even Noble is 33 in May and as he says, the side can't keep relying on him forever.
Assuming the strongest WHU side is say Fabianski; Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Snodgrass, Rice, Noble, Anderson; Antonio and Haller that leaves a bench of just Randolph, Fornals, Lanzini, Masuaku, Balbuena and possibly the recovering Winston Reid. That would be if we had no injuries, something that never ever happens with the Irons. So effectively we're trying to survive with a 16-man squad.
Moyes desperately needs midfield cover for Rice and Noble, another striker to cover for the injury-prone Antonio and a right-back to cover for Fredericks. The only problem is West Ham's recruitment process is in disarray with Mario Husillos having been sacked. While today's Guardian reports that the sons of both Husillos and Pellegrini were useed as scouts, which hardly inspires confidence. We can already imagine David Sullivan panicking at the thought of paying more cash for Cash from Nottingham Forest.
But something should be possible. Moyes has spent a year and a half looking at football and must have some ideas, while our owners have to realise that their investment and stadium will diminish hugely in value if West Ham go down. Loan deals would also offer more bodies and a fairly risk-free option. It's a bad time to buy, but if the club don't gamble then relegation awaits.

Agreed, press the panic button NOW...... we are toothless and lacking confidence and motivation, team spirit has evaporated as well which puts us in a bad place.
Not sure what the solution is but 3 new faces under Moyes would be a start, we need some real energy players who can lift the lads remaining and quickly...
the Avram years definitely come to mind
Surely someone in the under 23's must be worth a try, if there's any not sold or on loan? The bloke on the bench on Saturday must have some pace? How will anyone know if they can make it if they never get even 20 minutes on the pitch..
Bring back Diangana...quickly!
For 20 years it has been the same story. Every week I put on the same jersey have to explain the same sad story to my son..."Son", I say with my coffee in hand, "West Ham will always provide you that perfect balance of excitement and deep, deep disappointment". Welcome to life, kid!
I watched Malaga under Pellegrini at la Rosaleda and I thought he was a great appointment when he came. Where to now? Moyes? Back to the future? C'mon! I hear the NHL has some coaches looking for work...
Agreed MJ, the kids would certainly be better than the likes of Sanchez. If Diangana hadn't picked up another injury we would surely have brought him back.
Mark, you have dispensed some very true advice to your son...We might lose 5-0 at home to Liverpool. But then again we might just beat them and then lose at home to Brighton. It is the West Ham way. I thought Pellegrini was a good appointment at the time too based on his time at Villareal. Yet he signed Jack Wilshere and co....
for some time now west ham have been a machine that takes in highly rated footballers (whether as kids or pros) and turns them into has-beens. now we're doing it with managers too. at least when we only took on half-lame journeymen there was an understandable reason why we were crap, but now, who knows?
We could turn even Klopp and Guardiola into has-beens! Good point, we never had great expectations before. Who else could turn a £45m striker into a misfit?
