    Wonder who will be our starting CB pairing against Liverpool

    Diop the big money move, but still young
    Balbuena cheap, but in the prime of his career
    Ogbonna should be assumed to make it onto the first XI

    Possibly missed a decent acquistion?

    Rumours of Bernard & Vasquez signing?

    i honestly dont get where this money is coming from. Either we have some sales coming up or Gold and Sullivan never felt like spending until they got the manager they wanted...

    Carvalho to Betis for £22 million. Less than we were quoted.

    Like Seri im disappointed if that figure is true and we didnt tr to sign him

    But also like Seri if that is the price, and that is the team hes moved to I wonder why a bigger team hasnt gone in for him...and why he hasnt cost more in this inflated market
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Nobody who saw him playing in the World Cup had a good word to say about him.
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    Maybe Sporting didn’t want to talk to us. We may have been partly to blame for him walking out.
  • LukerzLukerz
    But where has this Seri hype come from? Just seems like yet another player who appears in the media, everybody seems to want, yet 6 months ago nobody knew anything about him. We’ll see how he does. There must be a reason he’s at Fulham. Carvahlo I saw a few times for Portugal and never rated him in any of the games so no loss there IMO.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Champo, maybe because he comes with a lawsuit attached.
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Seems like Pelligrini doesn’t want to watch the old tosh we have been served up the last 2 years. He wants to see quality on the pitch.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Seri was one of the best players in the french 16/17 league, and was ok this year

    MrsGrey, sounds like they agreed a fee with Sporting

    Pool confirm Shaquri for £13mil

    I know many on here werent fond of him but for that price ot couldve been a good move for us

    Lets hope Anderson and Yarmolenko live up to the bill
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    Anyone still nervous that Anderson won’t go through?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Nope.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    But he did - although the fifth set was a thriller ;hmm

    3 hours barracks longer than ac lasts

    I think those rates (1%; 7%) aren’t bad for a revolving loan facility.

    Is anyone else worried about if Rice will get much game time this season? Unless they play him as a DM I can see him struggling.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    I am super excited about the sigings rhat are being made....but I am beginning to get a little worried

    I think that only a DM should come in, we cant sign TOO many players that arguably should come into the first XI

    We saw it the year we bought like 12 new players (16/17 season), also with Everton last year and AC milan who bought an entire new XI of world class players who just couldnt gel and they underperformed

    From Wikipedia
    Bernard Duarte,[4][5] is a Brazilian professional footballer who last played for Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League as a winger. A left-sided player, Bernard is known for his pace,energy and love of West Ham United .
    He is also down as a West Ham player on that source with shirt number 69!

    I'm never sure how Wikipedia works and how easy it is to insert "fake news" but this could be our Lanzini replacement.

    On the other hand... How much did we struggle last year....

    We've got a month to buy into Pellegrini's style of play. They've sourced players they think will fit into it, so I am happy to trust it'll certainly be better than last season and we may even be lifted up by the teams style of play ;biggrin

    I'm 100% sure Rice will be a DM.

    He'll be the one to sit in front of the back four and has the ability to drop into defence when the full backs are pushing on.

    Pretty much any wiki page can be edited by anyone. Some pages are locked down, but not many.

    Volunteer editors check edits, and can restore pages where fake data has been put up.

    For me, I rate Wiki as useful, but not authoritative.

    It also says his place of birth was the London Stadium. Which has since changed from Canning Town and then to Barking.

    Balbuena has tweeted his respects and thanks to Corinthians.

  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Maybe someone should tell our media team that Balbuena has signed ;hmm
