    Waiting for the news that Hart pulled a muscle bending over to pick up a ball in practice. It's the West Ham way!

    Ex claiming there is interest from LFC in Lanzini should Coutinho leave.

    They'll have 50M spare for him I trust ;hmm

    That said, if you can get Adrian from us for 3M perhaps we'll let Lanzini go for about 7M ;wahoo
  • HappyHammer_ishHappyHammer_ish
    If lanzini goes. This goes from one of the best to one of the worst windows for me...

    We surely won't sell..
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    If Liverpool firm up any interest (if indeed the rumour is true), it'll be difficult for us to keep him in reality. Liverpool is still a big draw and he can enjoy Champions league football.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    If that happens we simply need to command a massive fee AND get a similar player in before he goes.

    Any thoughts on gettable players to theoretically replace him and what sort of TF fee?

    IMO though I dont think Coutinho will leave Liverpool (this season). So it will not be happening
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    The problem is, ain't nobody like Lanzini.

    Him going would hurt us more than when Payet left, IMO.

    If he did go, I guess Sig would be a decent replacement, but could we afford him?

    Hopefully this won't be a consideration and the Little Gem signs a new deal, but the new contract has all gone a bit quiet, which makes me slightly nervous... ;hmm
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I love Lanzini, but he's not the messiah.

    He has matches in which he is anonymous, just like anyone else.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    True, but do you not think that him leaving would undo a lot of the good work we've done in the window?
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Assuming we get big bucks for him....

    Shaqiri (that'd please Stoke even more)
    Wilshere ;doh ;weep


    Tadic? Not the worst option

    Or, despite him not being a similar player, pay over the odds to get Joshua King and play him behind Little P (please Bob)

    Arnautovic King Antonio
    Chicharito

    #Boom!

    Depends how much money we got and who we got to replace him.

    Ever the optimist, I'll say it could make the window better....

    No way Liverpool will be looking to replace Coutinho with Lanzini. He's not even remotely near to that class.

    And I love the guy.

    May just be me, but I don't really get Coutinho ;hmm
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Quick, skillful, play maker who can thread a pass from stupid angles, assist and score (he does get injured a fair bit though). Players like him and David Silva aren't easy to come by

    Now I am thinking how much playing time will Silva get a City now they've signed a younger Silva ;hmm Surely we couldnt go back to City and ummm, forget it ;wink
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    He does everything that Lanzini does but significantly better and more consistently, IMO.
  • alderzalderz
    Yeah I can't see Lanzini leaving
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    So, with Fletcher gone will we see a new forward signing?
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I still wouldve wanted him to go on loan ( for a couple of reasons ). However, I hope we have a sell on clause or even a buy back one or I dont think 6.5M is that good business or that good an offer

    IMO, yes.

    Our options now are:

    Hernandez
    Carroll
    Sakho
    Ayew
    Martinez
    Antonio

    Two are made of glass, one is entirely untested and two aren't out-and-out strikers.

    We need someone to support Hernandez and I think the club will get someone in to do just that. Pretty sure it'll be Gray.
  • HammerexHammerex
    Well we need someone, as I've just looked at the league table and we are bottom. ;doh

  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Snodgrass to Celtic ;hmm

    Makeweight for Dembele to West Ham would be some good business
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Can't help but feel that the club may view Martinez as the greatest prospect hence why they are happy enough to let Fletcher go

    £7mil for a player with one goal last season and only league 1 experience isn't bad with a 'reported' sell on fee of 20% this could be a decent deal

    Also does anyone know if the parent club will get money from a sell on fee if they are the ones buying the player

    For instance if we bid £15mil for Fletcher next year would we still get £3mil from the deal......
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Shill bidding ;lol

    Sorry to drag this up again but I've not been here for a couple of days, seen this and am a little aggravated. I think in general the Daves have done a top job this summer, and are clearly striving to give us the opportunity to push on. However, why does he feel the need to say this publicly, they have left our club, why drag them through the mud now? I know Sullivan tries his best for the club and he has a right to his opinion as much (if not more) than others, but it is bad practice in my opinion to deride people in public behind their back, unprofessional IMO. Particularly as it is yesterdays issue, season 16/17 matters not anymore. Slightly annoying.

    Also I would disagree that Zaza 'looked totally disinterested', he is not the run everywhere hit the channels striker, and we knew that before we brought him in. He is a middle-sitting, hustler, skill and shoot striker in the Berbatov mould. Unfortunately he simply wasn't as skilled as Berb so couldn't get away with it in our league. In Italy (and now in Spain it seems) where the game is played at a slower pace he is a useful player.

    Nice to see us getting a bit of money back this summer

    Nordtveit, Valencia and Randolph were all squad players who netted us a nice £15mil

    Fletcher just elft for another £7m, pretty sure Adrian, Feghouli and Snodgrass may be off bringing in about £15m again so £37mil total (although I feel we should try get at least £8m for Adrian and Feghouli not the figures that have been mentioned)

    If they do get sold separately does leave us a little light in the wing positions but enough in the kitty to reinvest

  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    It's a good business model get them for free and sell them next summer...

    But also it's a sign of our progress that we can sell these players without an impact on the first 11...

    When BFS got us up they would all have been first 11 probably...

    Really hope that this Lanzini being injured and out of the Bremen games is legit and not due to speculation regarding him to Liverpool. Whilst I agree that currently he is a bit behind Coutinho in ability, so are a lot of people. I think if Coutinho leaves they could well want Lanz, yes he's not quite as good yet (certainly doesn't score as many goals) but is prem adjusted, good to go, and is getting better year on year. It is a real worry IMO if Barce do snap up Coutinho. Who else plays at CAM, is used to the prem, scores and creates, and is at a 'smaller' team than Liverpool so they can poach. Of all the examples I can think of, I would rather Lanz.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I think it's legit, Florin. The guy who is reporting 'live' from the training camp said yesterday that he missed training after rolling an ankle.
