Teams now pay players for what they can do not what they've done. That's why 25-yr-old Yoshinobu Yamamoto got $325M before throwing a single MLB pitch. Same reasoning helps explain why 26-yr-old Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (who already has two 6-WAR seasons) got $500M from Blue Jays.

One of the most iconic speedway photos of all time in my opinion. Just pure speedway perfection👌

Same issues for West Ham as always- no genuine striker, no dynamic midfielder, distribution from the back is woeful.

Squad has been allowed to become old and stale.

Need to see the season out, and address these glaring issues.

That sound is my heart literally breaking.

Spare a thought for those poor multi-millionaires in need.

How does the keeper go with his feet there? Crazy.

Also, how does the ref not see it as a red?

Can't help but think West Ham will pay the price for not having a striker option lined up at the start of Jan.

Prices will have risen £10m now clubs know we are desperate. Maybe Marshall needs to come back as an option?

Not the result we wanted .The same weaknesses remain .No pace ,lack of creativity in midfield .Fullkrugs bad injury means we have no striking options.Graham Potter has his work cut out to turn this around .But despite the result there was plenty to make one feel optimistic for the future …

Lopetegui's goodbye, classy operator- shame it didn't work.

This is getting embarrassing, we are making them look like Man City

Honestly, I think Alvarez could do with a sat-nav to find his way round the pitch this season.

On behalf of all West Ham fans, please let me be the first to say...

WHY HAVEN'T WE SIGNED ANYONE YET?

Happy 2025 all, hope it's a good one!

Simply don't see how Alvarez replaced and Paqueta stays on. Nobody closing TAA at edge of the box there, ridiculous.

Respect the point 🙄.

Need to be considerably more ambitious if things are going to get better, especially at home.

Cardiff Speedway GP lost to cost pressures- a sad day but I think one that's been long coming.

Poor communication overall, feel for those that have booked travel and hotels.

Now that the West Ham part owner Daniel Křetínský has bought Royal Mail we understand there are to be a couple of West Ham commemorative stamps coming out to honour our best players. #COYI #WHUFC
