Jarrod Bowen claims it’s an “exciting time” to be a West Ham fan, but is it really?

While there was some good business completed at the very end of the Summer, West Ham’s transfer window was hugely underwhelming. Their squad does not have enough quality depth, and in areas like the central defenders they should really have signed starting players.

However, West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen believes that it’s not all doom and gloom and that it’s actually an “exciting time” at the club.

“I care a lot for the club,” Bowen told talkSPORT.

“The fans are similar to me – they’re loyal, they’re passionate, they want the best for their club.”

“I understand it, I get it and ultimately I want to win, and I want the best for the club.”

“I think we’ve recruited really well and obviously we’ve got Crysencio Summerville, who has come back from injury.

“So, it’s definitely an exciting time for us. Ultimately, the first two games weren’t what we wanted, but the weekend was more what we know of ourselves, so long may that continue.”

Do fans feel that West Ham have the right players to deliver this season, there are many offers on 1xbetting to have a punt on the Hammers this season. Or there is also Casino Ireland, for fans to enjoy some enjoyable ways to win some money – although you must gamble responsibly.

Personally, I have to disagree. While the players we brought in look like good signings, for the most part, we desperately needed more. If we go and get battered by Tottenham after the international break, which is a real possibility, then it completely undermines the Forest game as a one off.

With that being said, the win was a genuine joy to watch from start to finish, which is not something that can be said about many of the Hammers’ games over the last year or so. If more games are like that, then that would keep a lot of us happy – but it’s a big if.
