Officially joined West Ham in case any of you still cared.
Can't see anything on the BBC about it. But that's good business for West Ham. They're gonna be a tough nut to crack this season. I still feel the top 4 will consist of Chelsea, Pool, City and Utd, but a few teams may put themselves in the picture (Foxes, West Ham, Villa and Spurs). And as we've already seen, the 'big four', can come undone against some of the teams just a smidge below them. Personally, I'd love to see City slip out of the top 4... but that's about as likely as us winning the league this year.

Gotta doff your cap to how West Ham, Villa and Foxes have all added a couple of players that will challenge for the first XI, if not, step right in. Seems like they've all made improvements, though I could be wrong. I think the jury is still out on us. Much depends on what comes to fruition over the next four days. As it stands right now, Romero is a key addition. Gil and Gollini are both good, but aren't likely to displace anyone in our first XI this season.

Nah that's a good signing for them fair play.
Probably the best centre-back they could sign, but Kurt Zouma is by no means a top defender; he was bang average at Everton and didn't really impress at Chelsea either in the last 2 seasons.

I didn't say he was a top defender just that it was a good signing, which it is. Zouma isn't a terrible CB by any means either.

A decent signing for them yes. Of course he isn't "terrible" and nobody said that either - Zouma is slightly above average (if he can cut out his concentration issues and poor positioning)
