Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

Pearces_Left_Foot

The thing we need is different options upfront you have the big man hold up play good in the air , you need a quick players to play off and run in behind. We need to be able to change the way we attack more during games inst

;ok

If we are ditching snodgrass too, then maybe that's the thinking??..

Adam

Do we need another CM? I guess Obiang is the only true DM we have but if we do buy someone like delph or wilshere (only rumours now), I'm not sure where they fit in.

Maybe NDiaye but he'll be back up to Obiang.

baracks_a_hammer

We need a keeper upgrade ahead of a CM IMO

Adam

I don't mind Gray but if we don't get one of our top targets and we have to bring in someone else on a similar level to Gray, then we'll be in for a long hard season again.

I'd be very happy if we were able to secure Gironde & even more so if we got Hernandez too

Bazshuayi

If he's good enough for the late, great Whitney Houston then he's good enough for us....

#N'Diaye will always love you#

We are now signing regions of France. Bound to be 1 decent player there ;-)

MrsGrey

Well, Lukaku to Man Utd, so I guess our chances of getting Batshuayi have plummeted.

Bazshuayi

;weep

Sky Sports saying West Ham looking to hijack Stokes permanent move for Bruno Martins Indi who was on loan from Porto to Stoke.

Bazshuayi

;weep

MrsGrey

;hmm A CB? Does that sound right? I am tempted to think this article may have something in it. (They ascribe these reports to a mistranslation) http://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-keen-snatch-stoke-city-transfer-target-away-take-look/

Bazshuayi

He also played LB for the national side when younger. He's pretty experienced compared to his age

#wouldnt say no

Bazshuayi

Oh and another ;weep for Bats

Did not see that coming.

Ok, so Bats is almost certainly out of the equation then.

Yeoldhammer

75m for Evertons best player
25m for West Hams best player in the Jan window

Granted a lot of different factors on why Payet was sold at a lower price. But its pretty damn bad reading lol.

Burke will go on loan, I'm sure. Fonte and Collins have a combined age of about 90 so may not be the most reliable, fitness-wise. And both Reid and Oggy have had their injury problems, so I can see us going in for another CB.

But not until we've got our striker situation sorted.

Looks Like Lukaku is certainly off, which can have a knock on effect for us and other clubs below Everton....

I am wondering that it may end up being Man Utd...

ITK ;whistle

Whitehorsehammer

Baracks - NO

Vorselaarhammer

Good news...

Is he starter? Do we fit in him in with MN and CK or is it 1 from the 3 to be on the bench.

I've thought on occasions it would be good to give CK a bit of a free role, let him terrorise whoever he sees fit during a game because his got the best engine.

MN PO
CK
RW ST LW

Something like that.

Payet was 29 when we sold him, Lukaku is 24. Barring injury or loss of form he's going to be Man U's first choice striker into the 2020s.

Plus Lukaku has been among the top Premier League strikers for the last five seasons, Payet was only here for a season and a bit.

Both are 33. Are you Diane Abbott?

Hammerex

I think we need 4 new defenders, 4 new midfielders, and two new strikers
and perhaps a new goalkeeper.
