Gently murmur it. Next season, West Ham might be a contender for a top four spot.
The Hammers have been a genuine sleeping giant for a long time, but they may be ready to make a significant comeback.
Tim Steidten’s acquisitions this summer have been nothing short of spectacular for the club, and it seems like the right move to retain the 45-year-old German and part ways with David Moyes in advance of the upcoming season.
The Hammers have been a genuine sleeping giant for a long time, but they may be ready to make a significant comeback.
Tim Steidten has been brilliant for West Ham
For all of Moyes’ excellence in getting the Irons into Europe and winning the Conference League, his style of football had become stale, boring and eminently unwatchable.
It simply wasn’t good enough for those that paid their hard-earned at the London Stadium week in and week out.
Now, for what seems like the first time in years, the excitement is building in East London.
Julen Lopetegui, the new coach, has a reputation for playing in a lively and offensive manner, keeping his teams constantly ahead of the game.
West Ham has an attack to die for because to players like Crysencio Summerville, who is now playing on the wing and has lightning-fast speed, Niclas Fullkrug, a typical center-forward, and goals from Jarrod Bowen, Mo Kudus, and Lucas Paqueta.
Another brilliant move by Steidten was bringing in Guido Rodriguez to support Edson Alvarez in the midfield. David Sullivan deserves praise for letting loose a bit of control once again.
Regardless of whether any more players are signed before the deadline passes, the energy and buzz around West Ham at present could propel them towards a vintage campaign.
Don’t be at all surprised if a Champions League berth is their reward.
