    West Ham making signings and the word "Easy" very rarely appear in the same sentence! ;weep

    According to L'Equipe Lacazette is on his way to Arsenal with Giroud told he can leave. Apparently he's not keen on a move back to France so we are - allegedly - his preferred destination.

    See the problem is if the buy back fee is pretty close to the purchase fee, we could end up at an overall loss by the time we've paid his wages, agents fees etc. So we would be taking all the risks of ownership and enjoy none of the financial benefits if he is a success. Doesn't sound like a compelling deal (if the rumoured but back thing is true). In some ways it'd be worse than a loan.

    ;hmm

    Erm, we flirted with relegation last season. We have a chance to get a quality (hopefully) signing in.

    We should not be worrying about what price we will get if Man City decide to buy him back. Our options are limited in terms of good strikers we can actually get (even though we're linked with every player in the universe).

    I'd be very happy if we buy him, he has a very good season and Man City decide to buy him back in a year or two, and we make a £5m gross profit.

    That's not really building for the future, though. It's a short term fix. Not what I mean when I think of 'the next level' ;ok
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Rumours are Leicester are now favourites to sign him. Getting ready for the excuses, it may only be June but we appear to be following a similar path on transfers to previous windows. ;weep
  • AdamAdam
    Sorry to be that guy but I think 'next level' went out the window when a certain Frenchman left us.

    We need quality players in and that's extremely hard to do. We have an opportunity, so let's seize it.

    There is nothing whatsoever to suggest that we're messing around, so why say we are?

    grey,

    I come in peace. ;ok

    I am basing it on the transfer business that certain other clubs, who are supposed to be in our bracket, the likes of Leicester and Everton, have completed so far.

    Are we 'messing around' or are we being messed around? Who knows?

    We're resigning Jonny Specs ;hmm

    What baffles me slightly is the suggestion that we'll match any offer for Giroud ;hmm

    I mean, if we want him, why not make an offer for him now? It just suggests to me that he's on the back burner whilst we wait for decisions to be made elsewhere, i.e. Iheanacho or Bats, which given the debacle with Bacca last season, is a very risky game to play.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    I think that we may end up with the Bat
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I can understand a sell on clause for Iheanacho but I doubt City will buy him back anyway. A club that size financially is able to go after players better than him. If Pep for example thought he fitted in he wouldn't be selling him and would be telling him he's in his plans.

    I'm most likely being impatient but I feel frustrated that no Bats or Iheanacho good news is forthcoming
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    We have no idea who we want, we know what we want but not who...

    And the club is keeping quiet which we all wanted..

    Chill the sun is shining the beer is cold and we have weeks to go....

    I haven't seen that anywhere (although I confess I've been trying to limit my exposure to transfer tittle-tattle trauma). Where had you read that?
