    I won't believe anything until it's told to me by the Insider.

    Reports that Valencia will be sold for 5m back to Mexico.

    So that will 10M extra for the kitty as I think Nord was also 5M.

    So we Buy Sturridge for 40M and Ruddy for free and we're done...

    The rest of the budget on increasing the Physio facilities.

    Also reports that we've offered £9m for Badou Ndiaye.

    I don't know who he is either.

    Although ex gets a number correct he does mention just about everybody. ;hmm

    Especially as the latest from Ex is that although we want Hart we can't afford him, so are looking at John Ruddy because he's free.

    And we may make a loan offer for Barkley if he becomes available.

    ;doh

    Anyone else starting to panic even though promised themselves they wouldn't especially as its early days?

    I have stopped looking at Newsnow, so I am not reading all those stories linking us to all and sundry . Ignorance is bliss ;wahoo

    No panic here.

    There's very little happening atm, and I'm assuming a lot of deals are co-dependent.

    As an example, if Arsenal do get Lacazette, Giroud may well fell he needs to leave.

    Don't think we'll get him, but anyone who wants him would still have to wait until Arsenal make up their minds what they are doing.

    It would be nice to get the big deals done by the end of July, but if we have to wait until the end of August to get a player that we rate, then fair enough.

    I typically just go to the @WHUFC_News account on twitter. I think whoever runs it is pretty vile, but they collate all the news pretty efficiently.

    These are the main transfer rumours from that account over the past 12 hours:
    - Martin Samuelsen, Marcus Browne, Toni Martinez, Ashley Fletcher, Domingos Quina, Declan Rice and Reece Burke are all possibly going out on loan
    - Birmingham & Bolton are after Burke on loan, and "a PL club" have made a permanent bid for him
    - We are interested in Olivier Giroud, Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott from Arsenal
    - Will be making another bid for Kelechi Iheanacho this week
    - Will met Henry Onyekuru's release clause, and he has been given a work permit
    - Want Joe Hart, might take John Ruddy instead
    - Are "keeping an eye" on Ross Barkley's situation
    - Still want Adama Traore
    - Manuel Lanzini & Pedro Obiang are getting new contracts
    - If Chelsea sign Romelu Lukaku we will be going back in for Michy Batshuayi

    All of those came from Ex's column yesterday evening.

    He is my go-to man for transfer speculation. No idea whether he is a genuine ITK but does seem to get quite a few things right and breaks news earlier than the other West Ham accounts on soclai media.

    The radio show he's involved in is worth a listen to as well.

    He gets a lot right.

    For a given value of 'a lot' ... ;wink

    The reason I'm not panicking is that the daves have shifted or have almost shifted an awful lot of the the deadwood/dross which has to be a good thing. Of course improved replacements will come we've just got to be patient.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Oh I do look be a good panic ;wahoo

    Yeah they credited Ex, now I look again. The reason I prefer going to that is because they usually collate IDK, newspapers, interviews and articles and do a bit of everything

    The really big names are playing hard to get; the clubs are asking silly money. I'm reduced to reading about Hamilton & Vettel. ;hmm
  • AdamAdam
    Have to say Ex seems like the most likely to be an ITK.

    Most ITKs post obvious things like Giroud and Batshuayi.

    Ex posted something about the Reece Oxford loan to MGB at the beginning of June when no-one else was talking about it.

    Not saying it's proof but it does seem like he gets things before others.

    I'm very relaxed now. ;wink
  • HamstewHamstew
    Signing Walcott would be such a bad decision imo
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    A new name....

    West Ham are are plotting a move for Sampdoria striker Luis Muriel and are ready to match his £24million release clause [The Sun]

    Reports we have increased our bid for incheanho
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Hope some of the bigger clubs start making their moves e.g. Lacazettes Arsenal, Lukaku-Chelsea etc so we can start seeing who's available

    Really think Batshuayi could be available would prefer him to Iheanacho (would love him still) and probably wouldn't have the buy baking clause that is causing all the trouble

    Ngl know nothing on Muriel so can't comment
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    A buy baking clause? ;nonono

    Good thing you are not the one writing up the contract. That would be one epic typo. City want to buy him back so they've offered us a flan ;lol
  • McHammerMcHammer
    They may throw in a Bakewell (jo) Hart
  • stevesteve
    Hart don't mention Hart ,if he is not mentioned it wont happen ;whistle
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Being linked to Yann Karamoh, 18 yearly old winger for FC Caen quite highly rated in France

    I know we do need short term solutions but like the idea of going for young talent it may not always work out but you can make bid profit off them without too much risk

    If we can get Karamoh and Onyekuru (probs off to arsenal) could be good long term deals to add to Quina, Martinez and Fletcher who we added last year

    West Ham are prepared to break their transfer record by paying more than £20m for Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, 30.(Telegraph)

    Lyon have ended their interest in Giroud, with the president of the French club claiming Arsenal want to keep him. (Evening Standard)

    As well as Giroud, West Ham are also interested in Sampdoria's 26-year-old Colombian striker Luis Muriel. (Sun)
