I hope he proves me wrong and doesn't bring Stokes style of play with him. It is possible to play attractive football and win. Swansea and Southampton have proved that and look at how much West Ham have improved this season after getting the ball on the deck. I have no doubt he'll keep us up now which is the critical thing.
Welcome to The Hawthorns Tony. Hopefully you can win over the minority fans like me and make me eat humble pie.
I'm not on the wind up here. But what do you consider as attractive football?
Personally I would say Liverpool last season were very entertaining. Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling flying forward and creating chance after chance. Liverpool this season don't get the ball forward quickly because it comes straight back to them. Which leaves the defenders keeping the ball moving around the back 4 more.
Defenders keeping possession looks great on the statistics. But is it really entertaining? It looks attractive to the purists yes, but if you're not threatening the opposition goalkeeper would you be sitting on the edge of your seat?
Or would you like to see wingers bombing down the touchline and regularly crossing the ball to your forwards?
