Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

IronHerb

I could live with that.

Swap Hernandez for Gray..... far more likely imo

Everything we see, hear and read is pure speculation unless it comes from an official source. The club has been very quiet about transfers this window and rightly so.

And if they aren't quiet they get beaten with the other end of the same stick for telling alm the world about who they are interested in.
Damned if you do - damned if you don't.

IronHerb

Yep.

Lukerz

Jinxed on KUMB says Arnautovic will be done (around £18m-£20m) and we're going all out for Hernandez (80% there).

;pray

Lukerz

Scrap that

Lukerz

Arnautovic has just done his knee in pre-season for Stoke. Knee ligaments. Think that's that deal off.

IronHerb

Not yet he hasn't

Yeoldhammer

lololol could be signing him and he then goes and gets injured. The West Ham curse

Vorselaarhammer

Luke is that confirmed??

baracks_a_hammer

He'd still be more likely to start for us than AC even with his injury

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Arnautovic is a bang average show pony, anyway. IMO.

Vorselaarhammer

I've just seen that Giroud is on the Arsenal trip to Australia.

Can't see that one happening...

IronHerb

He played the first half of Stokes game tonight in Switzerland where Stoke named an eleven for each half.

Not officially confirmed, but he came off after getting injured before HT.

Not sure about that Slav, we are used to buying players with injuries as we can get them cheaper that way. ;nonono

Vorselaarhammer

Well this rumour at least real...

Stoke chairman Peter Coates: "We received a bid from West Ham for Marko and it was turned down. We will only sell if the terms are right."

Fortuneseeker

IMHO I would rather the money was spent elsewhere. Braithwaite for example would cost less than the £15 million offered let alone the £18-20 they might accept.

Hamstew

Anerz is a decent player and has proved that he can cut it in the prem let alone a cold wet and windy night in Stoke. Get him he's worth it imo

Adrian
Zaba Reid Ogbonna Masuaku
Obiang Kouyate
Antonio Lanzini Arnautovic
Hernandez

Randy, Cresswell, Fonte, Noble, Fernandes, Ayew, Fletcher

Could be our squad for Man U based on today's rumours.

Would be happy enough with that for starters.

Keep that squad together, give them time to gel and in two years time they should be able to walk the Championship.

NEoldiron

Ade, Championship?? ;nonono

Spoken like a true hammer ;wink

Arnautovic now 4/9 to join us, will be interesting to see if this injury was serious or not....if it isn't/wasn't then you've got to fancy our chances.

Jinxed believes it's 100% a fake/transfer injury.......but there again he said on April 1st that Slaven was hours from resigning, and i don't think he was just doing it for a laugh.

Also reckons that we're 80% of the way to getting Hernandez and close on Gray as well.

(Counter that with the fact he stated Carroll and Sturridge would be a swap deal!)

If they pull those three off then I don't think anyone can question the board/owners in this window.

Bazshuayi

Id be pleased with Gray and Arnautovic. Both pacey, tricky plus have goals in them.

Not sure I want Hernandez but understand others do and why ( a bit like Giroud who I dont fancy either )

SuzanneClaret

I'd be over chuffed if we got Hernandez.

imagelost

I watched a bit la'lga Malaga v Real Madrid ronaldo scored in 1 min 30secs ish
Is he staying

Yeoldhammer

Yeoldhammer said:

That is what we have at the moment.

Move on Valencia / Snodgrass / Sakho

Bring in Hernandez / Gray or Grioud or Inhenacho / Tadic


That'll do me.

Hernandez / Gray / Arnaoutouvic (Barring injury)

I would take that

I can see why as I think a lot of people like the big man as we haven't really had a grounded kind of striker since Tevez / Bellamy really. I personally think Hernandez would force us to play a more "on the floor" type football which as a viewer is what I prefer to watch. Do like a headed goal but like the fluid Arsenal / City style of on the deck type football and I think Hernandez / Gray would bring more of that style whilst Arnaoutouvic / Antonio can offer some height and Carroll as an impact sub can come on as the big man in the last 15 to throw balls up top or another big man to defend the box if hanging on.
