The Hammers barely survived in the premiership last season with a 17th placed finish that resulted in the termination of Italian inexperienced manager Zola after one season. The management quickly made a smart decision in replacing Zola with ex-Chelsea and ex-Portsmouth manager Avarm Grant. Avarm Grant has done a brilliant job in his one season with Chelsea and even did a respectable job with severely struggling Pompey last season when he led them to F.A. Cup Final as he took over the team midway through the season. Grant immediately made four key signings to upgrade the squad: French impressive striker Piquionne joining from Portsmouth, German international MF Hitzlsperger, fellow country man DF Ben Haim and Mexican internal winger Barrera. Now the key for the team will be to keep their trio English international FW Carlton Cole, CB Upson and DMF Scott Parker. The bad news for the team is GK Robert Green will has to face fans booing from all other 19 teams after his unforgiven shocking school-boy goalkeeping error vs USA in South Africa.
