The Hammers have made a fine start to the season and we look like a completely different team to the one that barely avoided relegation last term.

David Moyes deserves great credit for the manner in which he has instilled some pride back into West Ham as a football club.

Since taking over for the second time at the London Stadium in December 2019, Moyes has transformed the Hammers into a well-drilled, well-organised unit.

No longer are we a pushover and there is not one team in the Premier League who will relish playing against us.

That is not something that we have been able to say about West Ham since 2016.

Jamie Redknapp a huge fan of West Ham

The sky is the limit for the Hammers this season. Or it certainly will be if the board back David Moyes by signing a striker before tomorrow’s deadline.

Jamie Redknapp backed West Ham to finish inside the top six this season, when speaking on Sky Sports today (Sunday, January 31st, 13:28), and raved about standout Hammers ace Declan Rice:

“They’ve got 35 points, it’s an incredible return. I look at this squad, I look at adding Lingard, Fornals, Lanzini, Bowen has been a really good signing, Benrahma. Defensively they have been really good. Declan Rice is just an incredible player for them. I think they can finish where they are now, top six, top eight. That’s where I look at this squad. A lot relies on Antonio if he stays fit. There’s no reason why they can’t finish top six.”

If West Ham don’t sign a striker before tomorrow’s deadline, our chances of finishing inside the top six will be slim to none.

The Hammers absolutely cannot rely upon Michail Antonio to stay fit and play every game between now and May.

Whatever happens, however, we have made huge progress this season. That fact is indisputable.

Let’s just hope that the owners show some real ambition in the summer and prove that they are ready to take this great football club to the next level.

We won’t be holding our breath though, that’s for sure.
