Should West Ham have kept Victor Moses?

It's nice to see Victor Moses finally getting a run as a right wing-back for Chelsea and playing really well in the demolition of Man United. With hindsight, you do wonder if West Ham should have tried harder to keep him after his loan spell ended last season. 

Moses was unlucky with injury and then the sudden emergence of  Michail Antonio. But he started off brilliantly, having an inspired home debut against Newcastle and running from the halfway line to make Payet's second goal. He also scored away to Manchester City and Blackburn. Victor made 15 league starts for the Hammers, though latterly he was restricted to coming of the bench. 

For the same money that West Ham spent on Tore and Feghouli we could probably have done a deal with Chelsea and Moses could have been competition for Antonio and filled in as a wingback too. Let's hope that decision doesn't haunt WHU tomorrow night against Chelsea.

Let's hope Moses keeps taking the tablets

Been impressed with the form of Victor Moses so far. I saw him have a good game for Stoke against WHU at the Britannia Stadium last season but didn't realise just how fast he is. He had a great debut against Newcastle and it was a long time since we've seen a player run from the halfway line and beat defenders for speed before smashing the ball against the bar, as he did for Payet's second goal. Moses scored a fine goal from distance away to Manchester City and made the crucial first goal for Carl Jenkinson at Sunderland, when we were 2-0 down. And now comes another chance to impress against his first club at Crystal Palace.

Apparently he's not had a full pre-season and is still struggling a bit for fitness, but he looks a big asset. The crucial thing will be preventing injuries as they seem to have prevented his progress at Chelsea and on loan at Liverpool and Stoke. What's already clear though is that he looks a lot better than West Ham's last Victor, Victor "Is Vic There?" Obinna, who apart from a storming game against Man United in the League Cup, sadly underperformed under Avram Grant.
