Our members articles analysing last season are completed today with a review of West Ham’s performances. The Hammers entered 2014/15 in reasonable health, having finished 13th in the Premier League in the previous campaign, although they only gained 40 points and did flirt with the relegation zone before finally confirming their top-flight status.
Plenty of changes were made in both playing and coaching personnel at Upton Park last summer, with forwards Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho brought in, while Teddy Sheringham joined up as an attacking coach. Cheikhou Kouyate and Aaron Cresswell were also signed, while Carl Jenkinson and Alex Song moved to the Hammers on season-long loans.
In this members article, we asses the main goal threats and creators in Sam Allardyce’s final year at the helm and also compare the team’s attacking numbers to the previous year.

RMT please:
Butland - Vorm
Mert - Cedric - Huth - Francis - O'shea
Haz - Ozil - Sinclair - Mané - Ritchie
Benteke - Pellè - Lukaku
...after GW1: Lukaku --> Deeney
which leaves enough cash to upgrade to Sanchez and Aguero in upcoming weeks
Vorm won't last more than a few months, but I'll use him until I can nail on a 2nd budget keeper
