I didn’t write so many posts lately and still I want to have an updated blog, so after a while a new post with some updates.

We are a bit past the transfers and the premier league has started. It seemed with all the fuss around the transfers that we could make up for a real bad start, but on the contrary: The Hammers have lost their manager, hired a new one and are top of the league. I can’t imagine having such a good start.

In the end we lost so many good players and in my opinion a not so bad manager so I wasn’t too excited for the start. Why do people buy really good players and after a season or two get rid of them? I was convinced with the group of last year we could create something without having to change that much on the squad. It is also unbelievable that the biggest changes took place in the defence and there weren’t too much replacements. The hammers are in my opinion weak in their defence but the results till now are suprising. Anyway I hope that the group under a new manager can challenge for a higher spot than the 10th of last season.

I just read that the hammers have released Freddie Ljunberg with immediate effect.

I loved the guy when he was playing for Arsenal and although I understand that his wages could mean a difficulty I truly think that he wasn’t able to prove himself (also due to injury) at West Ham United.

Whatever you might do Freddie, I wish you all the best for the future.

The rumour mill this week was a bit quite, but ok we know that because of his surgery Ronaldo will likely stay at Manchester United but another player always in the spotlight, Frank Lampard might join his former Coach at Internationale.

The additions to the list of West Ham are for this week: Lucas Neill to go to Galatasary, Bobby Zamora and John Pantsil are followed by London’s Fulham and Fulham is allowed to speak to them. George Mcartney is a target for Sunderland but the former Sunderland doesn’t want to return.

Let us see what next week will bring.
