West Ham fans have all said their goodbyes to Pedro Obiang and are now looking ahead to the future without him, and some are keen on using youth to replace the midfield man.
New game: twitter scouts!
Who would you bring in to replace Obiang?
Budget is £6m

Hammers Chat on Twitter asked the fans who they’d like to see replace Obiang with a measly £6m budget, and a lot of the fans called for some of their young players to step up.
Reece Oxford, Conor Coventry and Josh Cullen are the main three names being touted, and it would save the club the Obiang money which can be put towards a new striker or left-back.
You can read the Irons’ calls for youth to be used here…
Josh Cullen, leave the wages/fee from obiang save up for next summer. If we were to get rid of Sanchez as well then I’d get one in to replay both

On a serious note I would like oxford to be given the chance there or maybe a loan I’m not sure on which players to be honest. Maybe a loan from abroad or a cheap championship player

Cullen, Oxford and Coventry… No money spent.

Nobody, give the spot to Cullen and Coventry and put the money towards a new striker

I’d give oxford the chance, as a cdm he would do well I think. Keep the 6mill to invest if needed in January.

Rather use Cullen and Coventry and save the money for January

No one. Use Oxford until January. If still no performance, then oust….

The Hammers would love to see youth used to replace Obiang, and it’s up to Pellegrini to ensure it happens.
