Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

brookingsirons

I have a bad feeling Antonio will come into this though Iron ;ok

brookingsirons

it would be a swop deal imo .

brookingsirons

if it was down to me my first signing though would be Oriole Romeu
just what we need in our midfield and the nearest player in the premier to
Kante at Chelsea imo . ;ok

Re:Rooney - not being selected to play for England means that he ticks the box to play for West Ham perfectly

brookingsirons

I maybe wrong but wasn't he quoted as saying he would only play for Everton if he left United ?

brookingsirons

And his age baracks ;biggrin

Pearces_Left_Foot

Click bait story

NEoldiron

I think he meant Mickey Rooney ;biggrin

madridhammer

If we really have to sign an older striker then it has to be Defoe. Sunderland are unlikely to stay up & it's a perfect fit. He knows where the net is & would do a good job for a couple of seasons. For me it's a no brainer.

Vorselaarhammer

We should not be signing players that can't get into other PL teams.

Maybe with an one exception ;biggrin I would like to sign Kompany...

In fact maybe my rule just applies Rooney...

brookingsirons

Kompany would just keep Carroll Kompany in the treatment room ;ok

brookingsirons

Oriole Romeu ;ok

Lukerz

Should've nabbed Defoe in Jan. ;ok

brookingsirons

yep ;ok just hope carroll can manage 9 more games this season ;doh

IronHerb

Defoe wasn't for sale

Lukerz

Nor was Payet

brookingsirons

;lol nice one , not at any price I think was first said , but we all know he couldn't
have stayed after refusing to play .

IronHerb

He was, we sold him.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Defoe didn't refuse to play

He could've handed in a transfer request but he didn't

brookingsirons

Top man pitty they haven't another 10 like him at sunderland

baracks_a_hammer

Defoe wasn't for sale at the price the Dave's would have been offering. Had they (exaggerating for effect) offered say £20m I think there would have been every chance of him re-joining West Ham

Lukerz

There's no such thing as 'not for sale'.

If we offered Sunderland £18m, he'd be a Hammer.

He wasn't for sale at £6m, or whatever it was we offered.

IronHerb

You assume he wanted to be a Hammer.

West Ham not interested in signing Rooney . The whole story seems to be based on the fact his kid wore a West Ham shirt

grey_til_I_dye

Disaster!

Think of all those poor people who have bought their STs on the strength of that...

grey_til_I_dye

And the amount of grief poor Diddy Dave got for something that turned out to be nonsense

brookingsirons

Diddy Dave deserves it , its only a matter of time before he will show you this
Grey ;ok ;lol

brookingsirons

He's the only world class guy we have at west ham ;wink

brookingsirons

I will always blame him for putting the Diddy Dave kiss of death on
Zaza by inviting him to his house , Zaza was never the same after that day ;ok

Yeoldhammer

lol on my facebook someone put that our last 20 goal a season striker was Teddy Sherringham over 12 years ago. West Ham have gone the 3rd longest period out of all PL teams without a 20-goal striker.
