You can't help but feel a great deal of sympathy for West Ham. They pump so much cash into new signings every summer, yet seem to get nothing in return. Their 10th place finish last season was respectable, but I can see them dropping to 12th this time round, mainly due the messy team they now have.

The loss of Adrian will hit harder than I think most fans are expecting. He was a top keeper and has already shown what he's capable of at Liverpool. The Hammers will inevitably miss having someone as consistent as him in-between the sticks, but they have no choice but to get on with it.

The West Ham defence is mediocre, the midfield is decent, and their strikers are relatively good; overall, the Hammers should expect a bog-standard finish somewhere around the middle of the table.
