Regardless of the dimensions of the membership – and the dimensions in their stadium – West Ham have endured their topsy-turvy courting with the Premier League this season.
The chaos that surrounds the London Stadium has noticed the homeowners revert again to former supervisor – and as soon as Manchester United flop – David Moyes after the mediocre reign of Premier League winner Manuel Pellegrini.
The membership continues to take one step ahead and two steps again, specifically on the subject of recruitment – with the squad plagued by avid gamers who’re merely now not excellent sufficient, now not are compatible sufficient or want to be in different places.
Whilst there stays parts of this facet which is able to excite, with the likes of Declan Rice, Pablo Fornals and Issa Diop offering hope for the longer term, the Hammers desire a magic wand to redesign issues forward of subsequent season.
So with our final fable hat on, here is a dream situation for Moyes – if the whole lot went to a shockingly farfetched plan…
Transfers In
It isn’t a query of what positions want strengthening for West Ham, however quite what positions don’t want strengthening – as paintings is wanted everywhere the pitch.

Matty Money – Even if now not probably the most glamorous of names, younger Nottingham Wooded area superstar Money has been at the radar of many huge golf equipment prior to now 18 months and may no doubt rival Ryan Fredericks for a beginning position at proper again. £20m
Marc Cucurella – As Aaron Cresswell starts to way his thirties, the younger Barcelona defender would supply pageant for the Englishman. Cucurella has inspired on mortgage at Getafe this season, and too can supply an possibility at left-midfield. £25m
Ross Barkley – The Chelsea midfielder has struggled to nail down a beginning berth because of the spectacular type of Mason Mount and the emergence of Billy Gilmour. Below former supervisor Moyes, Barkley may thrive within the centre of midfield, as he has executed frequently beneath Gareth Southgate for England. Mortgage
Willian – With the Brazilian coming to the tip of his Chelsea contract and reputedly no nearer to an extension, he is also prepared to stick in London with the Hammers. Would want a bumper pay packet, however we have now noticed West Ham’s willingness to serve up the money earlier than. Loose.
Ryan Fraser – The Bournemouth winger is some other drawing near the tip of his contract and would upload some a lot wanted tempo to the facet. Whilst his shape has been deficient this season because of his contract scenario, Fraser may well be reinvigorated with a transfer. Loose.
Ollie Watkins – After lacking out on Maxi Gomez ultimate summer time, the Hammers nonetheless want to to find somebody to enrich Sebastien Haller up best – and that might come within the shape of Brentford hotshot Watkins, who has lit up the Championship and suits in with Moyes’ imaginative and prescient of adlescent. £17m
Transfers Out

Manuel Lanzini – Even if a participant with undoubted high quality, Lanzini has failed to seek out the spark he had earlier than his devastating ACL harm in the summertime of 2018. Has already been usurped within the pecking order by way of Pablo Fornals and a transfer may rekindle his occupation.
Albian Ajeti – Some other participant so as to add to the lengthy listing of failed West Ham strikers, the previous Basel striker hasn’t ever been given a possibility and is prone to go away the membership – more than likely quickly initially.
