West Ham have kicked off their season against Bournemouth on Saturday with players still determined to leave the East London outfit.
David Moyes and David Sullivan, along with new technical director, Tim Steidten, have had an awful summer in terms of new signings, and even though Edson Alvarez was signed earlier in the week, Moyes decided not to play him.
A big performance and result on Saturday is required because the last thing that the Hammers need at this early stage is to be playing catch up to the other teams in the league.
When you consider who they’ve got coming up in the next few weeks too, it could be a long few weeks for Moyes and his players.
Aaron Cresswell doesn’t appear to be too enamoured with the club as he tried to leave earlier in the window but Wolves were unable to get the deal over the line.
According to Dominic Booth writing for the Guardian “Wolves are set to provide Gary O’Neil with his first signing as manager. It’s … West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell. Michail Antonio could join him in making the trip from the London Stadium to Molineux. Don’t get the train, lads.”… pic.twitter.com/i7OkaEgole

According to the Twitter account, West Ham Football, believed to be run by Sean Whetstone, a supposed confidant of Hammers chairman, David Sullivan, the Cresswell deal could be back on for the paltry sum of £4m.
The tweet references The Guardian suggesting that Gary O’Neil’s first signing will be the veteran West Ham left-back, and Moyes must be desperate to get rid of the player if he’s willing to let him go for that amount of money.
Another poor decision by the Scot?
I can’t honestly understand how Moyes is still our manager it’s baffling any other team would have changed by now Moyes has shown he can’t handle players he doesn’t choose haller / scamacca he was really against benrahma and we have players wanting to leave because of the way he plays people out of position and not to there strengths
How’s it embarrassing? 4m for a 33 year old who is no longer first choice left back?
That’s because they had bad attitude and body language come on please get real.
Benny good every 3 Rd game in between he shots the end
I don’t blame cresswell for wanting to go the way Moyes has treated him is bang out of order he has been a great player for us who has made the difference between win or loss many times he is our longest serving player it will be sad to see him go but if he must move on treat him with the respect he deserves given how much he has done for the club and the loyalty he has shown if you get your move I wish you all the luck great player and a great man
What like costing us the Europa Cup….. Moysie showed faith in him that season …… good luck to Cresswell but to refuse to play as well, no that’s not good form my son
Well said Benny,
When I look at the exodous list I cry!!!
These players have done us proud and are being trated with disrespect.
They still have something to offer. Good luck to you all.
