Decent squad, just need someone to manage them.
The Hammers were required to submit their squad to the Premier League by 5pm on Wednesday, with eight of the Club's nine summer signings included in the 24 senior playersd, alongside young professionals Sebastian Lletget and Raphael Spiegel.
Diego Poyet, Ravel Morrison, Dan Potts, Elliot Lee and Reece Burke are all classed as U21 Players for the 2014/15 season and therefore do not need to be included in the 25-man list, but remain eligible for selection.
Thir**** of the 25 are classified as being 'homegrown' players - well in excess of the eight required under Premier League rules. Homegrown players are those who have been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Welsh Football Association for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).
West Ham United's Premier League squad is as follows: Amalfitano, Carroll, Cole, Collins, Cresswell, Demel, Downing,

If we perform as we did against Southampton, then either we're all wrong, and it's not a good squad, or Allardyce hasn't got the nous to handle them correctly.
You can't legislate for what happens in games. At Hull last season they got a very dubious penalty and we were denied a nailed-on one. Events at Upton Park evened things out, but at Hull we didn't play that badly and for once had the majority of possession.
So result aside, the performance is very important to how we progress this season, especially for Allardyce. Sullivan was reputedly livid after Saturday's game, and rightly so.
Our next two after Hull are Man.Utd and Liverpool. In terms of getting in
