    Hey! I can be bashful sometimes!

    In any case, I suspected the Antonio fitness issue for the start of the season and he's not on my extensive list of potentials (until hes back and firing). A list I will make lengthy analytical notes on and share if you dont be'ave yerselves ;whistle

    I give the board a lot of stick but if they can get us:
    Hart, Zabaleta, Arnautovic, Hernandez

    + a couple more....

    Then fair play ;clap

    Not sure there will be a couple more. Maybe youth prospects. But they have emphasised they want quality over quantity this year.

    I do think the Dave's will sit and wait to see what's around near the end of the window. For example Liverpool want £40m for sturridge and Arsenal apparently want £20m for wilshere plus a buyback clause even though he only has 12 months left on his contract ;lol

    Both of these are examples of pie in the sky valuations which will plummet as the window draws to a close and these clubs will be desperate to get rid. Not saying we will or should go for either, but there will be other examples.

    I don't think we will be done if we get Hernandez and arny.

    I also think at least one of ac and Sakho will be off one way or another

    reported 20 euros for Hernandez just pay it please ..
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    Only 20 euros? I'll buy him and loan him to the club for a nominal 250k/year if they pick up his wages.
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    Taxi for Brookings ;hmm
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons

    Javier Hernandez: West Ham close to deal for Mexican forward

    Getting the players is one thing, but making the best use of them is something else. We all remember how Pardew (or was it Curbishley) had Tevez and Mascherano but did not initially play them. It was only pressure form the crowd that forced him to play I think Bilic wants to change WHU playing style. With Carroll there is a temptation to hoof it and the opposing defences gang up on hi. I think Bilic is looking for more movement up front and more nimble players. That will probably suit Lanzini, Fernandes, Hernandez, Arnautovic and Quina/Martinez (if they make the first team). To do that recruits need to be secured sooner rather than later and learn the new tactics.

    To be fair, Mascherano didn't play because he couldn't have been less bothered if he'd run out in flip-flops and sunglasses, with a lilo under his arm.

    He was kept out of the team by Hayden Mullins - on form!

    Further reports today that we are still chasing Badou N'Diaye, and have sent representatives to his club for *talks*. He has played in Norway (3 seasons) and currently Turkey (2 seasons) since moving to Europe from Senegal. 26 year old goalscoring CM/ACM who looks decent on youtube...

    Hernandez is officially happening. I'm rather excited...

    Am I allowed to feel a bit ;wahoo
  • horshamhammerhorshamhammer
    Although it would be typical us to mess this up at the 11th hour...
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Anyone else think it's a bit risky to announce it before the contract is signed? ;hmm

    But that aside...

    ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo

    My theory is that as West Ham are in Austria little chico has crept across the border from Germany signed up and crept back, they will then parade Chico and Arnie at the same time when they arrive back in the U.K.
    ;wink
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    You are aware that you don't just creep down to Austria from Leverkusen? I am not sure where in Austria they are but it would probably be a 10-12h round trip not including any time spent there.
  • LukerzLukerz
    £20m apparently.

    Randolph off to Boro apparently. £4.5m.
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    Just checked on google. It is currently a 9h12m trip from Leverkusen to Graz not counting holiday traffic so no way would you do a return journey in a day.

    Munich, I was only kidding, I don't believe that's what really happened, hence the wink.
