'We expect five new players minimum' says Dave

David Sullivan has told the Hammers fans to look forward to a big and busy transfer market this summer.

As the club heads into its final Boleyn season, he expects to bring in top young prospects and a couple of high class world names.

The big bonus of the season has been the form of near ever-present Aaron Cresswell who has demonstrated there are top young players at Championship level who can step up and do a great Premier League job.

Cressy was the PFAs left back of the season in the Championship, and fitted with the club’s desire to help in the drive towards more attacking football..

And it was David Sullivan who did the deal with Ipswich – outbidding two other clubs in the process -before agreeing personal terms through his agent.

And the co chairman -speaking exclusively to ClaretandHugh today – has revealed that the club is looking to do more of the same at the end of the season.

He said: “The supporters will see this Summer that we’ll go for youth, but that will be combined with one or two established world class players.”

And he has went as far as to name his target number of signings for the summer adding telling the fans:”We expect 5 new players minimum.”

I thought there was a waiting list for season tickets?

Is that what Hugh actually wrote and published? The standard of English in that is shocking.

If the big bonus of the season is that your left back has played well, then you know it's been a shit season.

Cresswell should be premier league young player of the year.




Without a doubt.......class little player.

cresswell is a year and a half too old, plus i doubt he would beat kane and hazard to the award anyway.

Its comforting to see Dave's thought process is similar to mine. Noble, Cole, O'brien, Jarvis and Demel need to be replaced. Plus a host of youngsters who will never make the grade.

CRESSY

We need to bring in a couple of top players with some individual flair. I know Tevez is a long shot, but if we could tempt him back with a good offer for just two years, last year at UP and first at the OS would give us a real boost, the place would be buzzing and Dave would get his money back and more with ticket sales and shirts alone, could have a real chance to get in Europe.

We tried signing untolds amount of players on deadline day. Look how that turned out. If he's saying what they plan to do, do it from the get go.

We had a exellent summers transfer window - hope its the same

Re: 'We expect five new players minimum' says Dave

Specially now we've got the stadium coming up, we can attract any player in the world.

Personally, as much as I like getting excited about the prospect of getting good new signings, i'd rather our owners kept those sort of plans to themselves. It just makes a rod for their own back further down the line.

Make your promises small but deliver big should be their motto, it just keeps people happy and manages expectations.

If we can do as well, as we did last summer, then it bodes well for next year. I suspect his two 'world names', might be Song, plus one other.

Re: 'We expect five new players minimum' says Dave

I'd rather he makes his mind up on a new manager who will obviously have his own idea about player targets.
So hurry up Sullivan and get the most important decision out of the way.
Fuck the walrus off.

Re: 'We expect five new players minimum' says Dave

I particularly enjoyed Hugh telling us how transfers are done. I had no idea that a chairman might negotiate with an agent.

Insightful stuff.

Well, as long at it's Sullivan and not Allardyce picking the players out again, we should do well.
