    And therein lies our problem.

    £30m, which is probably more than half of our budget, gets you Danny Drinkwater or, if rumours in January were to be believed, Tom Cairney.

    We arguably need five players that can come straight into our starting eleven, which would equate to, what £80m-£100m if we want to move forward. We simply don't have that kind of money.

    Reina, Fredericks and Wilshere are all free and would improve on our options in their respective positions, which means we could go (relatively) big on a CB and a DM, but as I said earlier, these free agents will probably have more attractive propositions than us.

    Isn’t Emre Can going to Juventus? Nice to think we can compete with them but come on. ;lol
  • AdamAdam
    Pepe Reina has been playing for the second team in Serie A. Why would he come to us?
  • alderzalderz
    I actually think Heaton is a good shout. There's no way he'll want to sit on the bench at this stage of his career, and Pope won't want to be a sub either now he's had a year in the first XI. I think it's realistic to think we could get Heaton for about £10m.

    Cant see that happening. Everton blew the keeper market open when they got Pickford for 30m, Burnley will be demanding at least 20m.

    Ben Foster from WBA? Interesting timing that as WBA are relegated, West Ham announce they don't want Hart OR Adrian next season. Has a deal been done, or are the club messing things up again? ;hmm
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Tom Heaton signed a four year deal in 2016 and Burnley are virtually guaranteed Europa League next season. Why on earth would he want to come to West Ham?

    Ben Foster is 35, as a short term measure he'd be excellent but he can only have a few seasons left before he hangs up his gloves.

    Butland if Stoke go might be worth an enquiry

    No Keeper maybe Sully has lost the plot.

    Rush Goalie !!!!!!!!!

    Have we announced that we don't want Adrian or Hart next year? Does that mean they will give 110%? what are we doing???
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    The Sun said yesterday that Adrian will ask for a transfer if Moyes is appointed full time and we can't afford Hart's wages.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Ben Foster has said he'll stay at the Baggies and that he has no interest in moving

    Butland is more likely
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Butland would be good... But depends what level he is at as Liverpool still need a 1st choice keeper.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Pickford went for 30m ? people seriously think we are going to spend even 20m on a goalkeeper ? Stoke will want at least 20m for him minimum.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    We're supposedly lining up a £40m joint bid for Butland and Allen
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    More likely to get Flanagan and Allen ;lol
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Or dave Allan
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    More likely to get Foster and Allen who had a 1982 Top 20 hit with "Bunch of thyme"

    Remarkable

    Being realistic and hoping our better players wish to stay we need.
    two keepers (hart and adrian not good enough for no 1 wont want to be no 2)
    left back to challenge cresswell (evra forget it)
    right back as zabaleta is getting on ( byram to lightweight)
    new centre back
    left side midfield all ok
    right side midfield someone to challenge antonio
    centre mid at least two (kouyate is done, fernades not good enough mario no)
    a new striker to compete with arnie and ac (noone will sign ac hernades wants out hugill forget it)

    thats ten !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    thats nine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;lol
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Or we need just one spectacular signing (Payet) that papers over the cracks of the other 10....

    Isn't that Masuaku?
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    As a left wing back yes
    But as left back no, he isnt disciplined enough defensively

  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Think we should make a push for Romeu if Southampton go down...hes exactly what we need

    26 so in the prime for a good few years, physically very strong, fantastic positional awareness, great reader of the game and while not Xabi Alonso he's composed on the ball and great at ticking over possession with simple but effective passing

    Wouldn't be wrong going for Fredericks and Cairney who've we've been linked to often

    Fredericks offers speed and energy, both of which we lack in this team and a huge upgrade over Byram who should be let go

    Cairney is confident in his ability, great of the ball and imo an upgrade over Noble and could lighten the load on Lanzini who is our only playmaker in the team
