    I've said categorically that Giroud would never come to us.

    This would be one case where I would be delighted to be proved wrong (but I really don't see it...)

    Blimey grey, i'd normally associate your glass as being largely pretty full!!

    Why wouldn't he sign for us? He's not THAT outstanding so that should surely put him our range. He's also not wanted by his club and allegedly wants to stay in the same city

    WBA in talks with Southampton over Rodriguez.

    Worth a punt from us? Goal-scoring wide player? Always thought he was decent.

    I think he's good enough for pretty much any Champions League side (outside the very top teams), and assume that if he were available some of them would be in for him, and given the choice he'd go to one of them.

    I've seen the 'wants to stay in London' thing and if that were true it would probably give us a chance, but I am reluctant to get my hopes up on substantiated rumours.

    He's not going to a top 6 club and we are really only behind Everton for the rest of the league

    Maybe a team in France would take him but probably on smaller wages

    I'd absolutely love him but personally can't see it happening

    If we had a season like the 15/16 season again maybe but right now it doesn't seem likely

    Is it me or is £40m for Salah a joke? Must be fake news?

    LFC surely aren't spending that much on a guy who failed in the PL only a year ago?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Marseille would be interested.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Not looking great. Kouyate has a pop at Bilic too:

    £40m is silly money
  • LukerzLukerz
    West Ham are in talks with Pedro Obiang over a new deal, as AC Milan, Sevilla and Everton circle, according to the Mirror.

    The joke will be crystallised when he arrives at West Ham for £15m a year later

    I like Kouyate but if he doesn't want to be here then ;wave
  • LukerzLukerz
    Twist - seems like he's edging for a move to me

    Twist, agree ... BUT ... I'd like to see the original interview. All too often the websites and other sources that (re)report at second hand what was said elsewhere skew their articles to fit an 'angle' or agenda. Or exacerbate a distortion.

    I mean, even if you go back to the original/primary report, you can find that they have cherry picked and quoted out of context. So the 'chinese-whispers' version isn't necessarily going to to fair and accurate.

    I'm starting to sense another "hey guys I've got something for you. It's about one of our players...." situation ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It's all nonsense imo. He didn't have a pop at Bilic, he just said he wasn't happy playing out of position.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Adama Traore off to Chelsea
  • McHammerMcHammer
    To then go out on loan with all the other chelsea youngsters!
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    I wouldn't miss Kouyate all that much to be honest. Think he's majorly fizzled out.

    Good player, but he won't get a game for a bigger side than us. If he wants to find that out for himself, then I say good luck ;ok
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Traore to Chelsea has been in the pipeline for ages, to be fair. I'm sure people will say it's one we've missed out on, but the reality is he's been linked with Chelsea since January.

    Not getting games at Chelsea doesn't really indicate much.

    The fees being spoken about this season are generally all ridiculous.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    OCL ;ok

    And to back up your point, I see that Spurs want £45m for Walker
  • alderzalderz
    Something to bear in mind, HN was a home grown player, so will need to be replaced by one in the 25. Obviously if Cullen takes his place that will be great, but he is young enough to not even be included, so I'm not sure what will happen there.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Hart on Loan will probably cover it. If rumours are to be believed.

    AfaIk you can include an U21 player as one of your 8 HG players, it's just that you don't have to include them to play them.
  • KuchinghammerKuchinghammer
    Blimey, how much would they want for a Runner? oh I see, sorry ;yercoat
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Calleri and Arbeloa had places in he squad no? Thats 2 spots already open for non homegrown options

    HG: Randy, Westley, Byram, Collins, Cresswell, Noble, Antonio, Carroll

    NonHG
    GK: Adrian, Spiegel
    DF: Fonte, Masuaka, Ogbonna, Zabaleta
    MF: Kouyate, Obiang, Lanzini, Feghouli, Snodgrass
    AT: Sakho, Valencia, Ayew

    U21: Fernandes, Cullen, Burke, Fletcher, Rice, Makasi, Browne, Martinez, Holland

    So we have 14 spots of the 17 taken already so we have 3 spots and that's including Valencia and Sakho (and maybe Snodgrass) likely to leave.....don't think we have a problem

    Ngl looking at the squad right now it does look a little thin
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Westley's gone. And I'm almost sure Darren Randolph doesn't count as HG.
  • alderzalderz
    I think Westley has left the club?
