Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

baracks_a_hammer

I see that young Reece is getting plenty of game time at Reading

2 games, twice on the bench zero minutes playing time

;hmm

thornburyiron

Most of our loanees seem to spend most of their time benched. I think Martinez got 90 minutes yesterday.

Why would Reading change a winning team? They're 4th in the championship.

I imagine he has to wait for his chance when someone gets injured or isn't performing.

Couldn't care less about reading

We should want our loanees to be playing if they get sent to lower league teams. Failing that stay at West Ham and play in the development games?

Vorselaarhammer

The plus side he is being coached by one of the best CB of the last 20 years.

That's got to help his development.

Vorse

Bilic? Oxford is actually at reading now. ;wink

West Ham United will swoop for 19-year-old French defender Fode Ballo-Toure in the summer, when the Paris Saint-Germain youngster will likely be available on a free transfer. (Madein Foot)

Ballo ballo ballo ballo ballo ballo

Toure

West Ham are preparing to allow summer signing Arthur Masuaku, 23, to leave and are ready to take a big loss on the £6m they paid Olympiakos for the defender. (Squawka)

Don't believe that ;ok

Fake news

McHammer

Leicester, Everton and West Ham sent scouts to watch Ludogorets winger Jonathan Cafu, 25, in the Europa League this week.(Mail)

In other transfer thoughts i quite like Arthur. I think we will regret not signing celtics Dembele.

I hadn't noticed that Scott Hogan went to Villa in January, but he got stretched off yesterday and is now possibly out for the season

Did we ever have a chance to sign him?

We were rumoured to be considering a £20m bit for him, and Celtic wanted £40m. So, no. Not in January anyway.

We probably had a chance last summer when he left Fulham on a free (though it wouldn't have been free for us as there would be a tribunal) but I don't think he was anyone's radar as he hadn't exactly set the world alight with Fulham (19 goals in 64 games).

McHammer

Offering less than half the ticketed price is more than a chance for our owners ;wahoo

McHammer

West Ham are targeting Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose, 25, who has scored nine goals in 20 La Liga appearances this season. (Calciomercato - in Italian)

McHammer

West Ham plan to increase their offer for Saint-Etienne defender Kevin Malcuit to £10m after having two bids for him rejected in January. (Sun)

McHammer

West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang, 24, is a target for Liverpool, with the Spaniard impressing Reds boss Jurgen Klopp this season. (Sun)

80 million + Coutinho, Clyne and Can

Bazshuayi

+ Mane, Sane and Kane - yes, I just wanted to write their names together ;whistle

secrethammersfan

I'd like to see us make a move for 1989 Marco van Basten.

Hop in! Let's go, go, go!

McHammer

We dont have enough road to get up to 88!

grey_til_I_dye

We'll detour round the Large Hadron Collider!

Dodger58

Fully understand those concerned about Carroll's (injury) reliability, but I hope this is not true. A fit AC is unplayable.

Bazshuayi

It'll probably turn out that Carroll was sold Chow Mein at his local Chinese whilst injured

Vorselaarhammer

STH Really got themselves a good poacher in Jan.

Proper in the box striker...

Dodger58

Looks like it Vorse - be interesting next season ... will he be 'found out', looks promising though.
