are you sure that newcastle is a mediocre team? Do you really think that a mediocre team can reach third place in the Premier League? honestly are you really sure you're talking about newcastle that same team that is in third place in the premier league? Liverpool, which is a great and strong team, is not in third place, chelsea, manchester united, and so many other teams are not in third place, in the premier league only the best teams are at the top, you should already know that. premier league is such a difficult competition that it is not easy to get at least to stay in 4th place, and newcastle is in 3rd place. before you think: " " newcastle is thanks to luck " ". wrong, they beat chelsea, in their last game. they are there because they are a strong team
It is not easy to suddenly become good just because you bought some players. I am not saying that West Ham is a bad team, obviously as we can see they are a good team but it doesn't mean that they are going to be that much better suddenly, they are good but that's about it and we should move on with it.
I feel like the fact that they spent money means nothing, if that was the only thing that give you results, Chelsea would have been leading the whole league, but they are not, barely in top 4 right now, and not doing awesome, even though they are the ones that spent the most money. This is why it's clear to me that West Ham needs more seasons like this to get good.
