About this episode
Jack and Cal break down West Ham's newest signing, Kyle Walker-Peters on a free transfer after his contract at Southampton expired in this summer. They discuss his strengths and weaknesses as a player, how his arrival impacts the squad, where the Hammers are at in terms of the Premier League's homegrown requirement and what it means for Ollie Scarles' future. They also talk about West Ham's first preseason friendly, a 1-3 victory away against Grasshoppers in Switzerland, getting to see El Hadji Malick Diouf on the pitch alongside some of the academy of football, what we learned from the game, whether we're planning to be flexible over the 3-5-2 and 3-box-3 and more.
