Swansea already appeared to be hanging on grimly.
Only time will tell who Sullivan was talking about, but it’s plainly clear that West Ham really do mean business as they begin a brand new chapter this summer.
Swansea, sporting six changes from the side that secured Premier League safety with a 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend, offered little going forward as West Ham continued to have the upper hand, and Payet had Fabianski scrambling again with two free-kicks that narrowly missed the target.
“West Ham has been a tough opponent this season”.
Several British newspapers including the Daily Telegraph have reported that West Ham also like Manchester City’s Ivory Coast worldwide forward Wilfried Bony. Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Man Utd. A big majority of those twenty-minutes were played in their half of the pitch.
The news has made the Red Devils supporters present here in the Transfer Tavern stand up and take note, with many backing Oxford to be a real hit for the club should he put pen-to-paper.
“We were disappointed not to do better in that game”, added Bilic. Chirs Smalling needs a stabled defensive partner and although it is true that United are in the market for a top class centre back, they want to make sure that their stocks do not suddenly appear bare if and when their first choice options are unavailable. “When they have the ball you have to get back and close them down”.
“The only thing that was missing was our finishing product”.
“But that’s all I can say at this moment”. “It was for us a season with difficulties, but now we have the possibility to finish well”. The move, which has seen the privately-owned club inherit the publicly funded London 2012 Olympic Stadium, has been describved as the deal of the century.
It will be a hugely emotional occasion, but mainly for the club and the fans, not so much the players, so they shouldn’t be drained ahead of the Stoke game.
