    Mrs G.

    I've seen the Hart move reported as a loan with a buy at the end, which makes sense of Twists post. Although not sure £2m loan fee would cover it. ;ok
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Herb, yes, that's what I thought. I've seen various prices for the 'buy' part being bandied about, £20m and so on.

    Not long ago, Hart was considered one of the best in the world. He lost his confidence after Guardiola chucked him out of the team before giving him a chance, but he's head and shoulders (couldn't resist) above Randy and Adrian.

    Even if he makes a couple of mistakes while regaining his confidence, we'd probably have got that from the other two anyway.

    And he's captained Man City and England and knows what he's talking about at the back in terms of concentration and organisation.

    But it isn't either or, is it?

    The club are clearly working on a number of fronts to try to get forwards in.

    Assuming the Hart deal is true, arranging it won't have any influence on our ability to get strikers, will it?

    It will be if they spend big on him. If it's a loan then may be o.k. but I don't
    think he much better than what we already have anyway.

    I see that Swansea have confirmed that Sigurdsson is not going with then on their pre-season tour. Wonder why not? ;hmm ;biggrin

    Cedric Bakambu has signed two-year contract extension, the La Liga club have confirmed.

    When is Adrian's contract up
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Next year I think. Didn't we exercise a one year option this summer?

    Fee now agreed for Arnautovic according to Jinxed on KUMB.

    Jinxed said 18-20m,it's not it's more likely closer to 24m as Stoke have to pay 20% to his previous.

    Still a decent signing though, and if we could get Hart and Hernandez I'd be one very very happy Hammer

    Adrian just signed a new deal, this is a tricky one, because Randy is in a World Cup season, there again he did play internationals when he wasn't in our first team

    I'd rather have Hart and Adrian but I'm not sure Adrian would stand for being pretty much a permanent second choice, whereas Randy may do, but for the WC

    If they need the money they get rid of Adrian, I can see Randy going to a challenging championship team

    My company blocks the C&H website, what does it say about Adrian?

    That would be a shame. Id much rather see Adrian stay. Gets on well with the players and is on a different level to Randolph (IMO)
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Vorse its more about Randy not going than any mention of Adrian. Says we have snubbed an approach from Boro. Claims we do not want to sell him even if Hart comes in.

    Found this on football London
    West Ham are closely monitoring Mario Lemina’s situation at Juventus, according to reports emerging from France.

    Scratching head
    We clearly don't need striker then
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Pretty sure we are trying very hard to sign a striker. But it isn't usually a case of popping into Strikers 'R' Us and nabbing a couple of them.

    Everybody wants good strikers. Everybody wants to keep the ones they have and everybody wants the good ones who might be available.
  • imagelostimagelost
    Just seems a bit
    Goalie, defender,, midfielder,
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Seeing as goalie, RB or CB, AM and 2 strikers were on almost everybody's wish list I can't see what the issue is.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Probably because, as Jorderz says, Everybody wants good strikers, so the competition is greater and the negotiations consequently tougher and more complex.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Jorderz

    Nobody seems to want AC or Sakho though ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    or Lanzini or Reid or Noble etc.etc.
