2016-17 fan predictions: West Ham United
By Andrew Becker, West Ham United fan
What are your feelings ahead of the new season?
I’m really excited about the upcoming season – new stadium, some great new signings and some exciting action from our players in the Euros will make for a great season.
Are you satisfied with your club’s transfer business this summer?
Very happy with the signing of Andre Ayew, he will provide some much-needed support up front, and more recently Jonathan Calleri, who will bring some young blood into the front line.
How is your team likely to line up?
Once the dust has settled and after some injury recovery, big boy Carroll, Ayew and Feghouli up front along with Antonio. Noble, Payet and Kouyate in the midfield, Masuaku, Reid, Cresswell and Ogbonna in the back, while switching Adrian and Randolph frequently after his stellar performance for Ireland in the Euros.
Have you got the right man in charge?
Super Slav! He is the man for the job. With him in charge and the strong team we have to start the season, I am really excited and think West Ham will be floating around the top spots.
What do you expect from Liverpool this season?
I always expect a lot from Liverpool, even after playing very well against them in both games last year. Expecting a finish similar to last year, in the top eight.
If you could have one Liverpool player in your team, who would it be?
Who wouldn’t want Coutinho?!
Top four (in order)?
Man United
Arsenal
Man City
West Ham
Relegated?
Burnley, Hull, Sunderland
Who will be the surprise package?
Even with the new signings of some key strikers, and after Payet’s recent season and Euro performance, I think Lanzini will continue to impress and stand out.
What is your one wish for the season?
To skip the waiting list and become a season ticket holder so I can get to every game!
